What is the easiest way to tie multiple switches together. I have 3 sets of outdoor lights with each having a GE Zwave on/off switch.

What I want: if I turn on any of the outdoor lights have them all come on. If I turn off any of the 3 lights turn off the other 2.

I was thinking that this would be relatively simple to implement as a plug in. Do I need a plugin? If so which plugin should I look at to get started. Where is the best tutorial/documentation for plugins?

thanks

You would create two scenes on and off and have the one light or multiple lights as the triggers for on and off. Then select the lights you want to turn on and off for each scene. No need for a plugin. A word of caution, you may see delays for the lights to turn on and off due to the ge switches not supporting instant status changes.
