Set up "Turn on the lights" command

I hope its not only me, but i think it is quite annoying that all the light turn on when i say turn on the lights.

When i say turn on the light when i come home at night all the lights turn on. Also the one in the bedroom where my girlfriend sleeps. I can tell you, it is not good for the w.a.f.

Also the philips hue lights turn on to the last setting.

I am not asking for complex detection of where i am, the time and what not. All i would like is a settings page where you can set a default value for the lights. So a checkbox if the light should respond the the general command at all, default dim level, default color.

With this you get a default value when you yell "turn on the lights" and when you want something special else you can use a flow.

    This would be helpful.

    No I got a workaround in place.
    All the lights that are not supposed to get on (all kaku switches) are just added as switches.

    You do realise you can just add a zone to your command? For example: "Turn the lights on in the living room" works perfectly fine if you have a zone called 'living room' ;) This would probably at least partly solve your problem.

    It took me ages to realize there was a built-in command for that, since I created a flow that responded to "lights on". When I added a KAKU switch as a light I was wondering why it was turning on even though it wasn't part of my flow :)

    Is there is a list of build in commands?

    I know there is a room selection in there, which i also use. Still when i say "turn on the lights in the livingroom" Philips hue stays on a "older" color. 

    The most important reason for me is that if i come home late and i forget to say livingroom (or homey doesn't hear livingroom) my girlfriend is upright in the bed and a bit later homey in 100 pieces. So only exclusion from the general commands very important for my w.a.f.

    Maybe you can make a flow with the light you want to on. I got a flow: "ik ben weer thuis". You can set the lights and color you like.
