Hello.
When I add devices e.g. 4 x-10 lights in the master bedroom, there is only 1 on and 1 off button that activates all 4 in sequence.
How do you control individual lights ?
-
You have to create new Lighting scenarios.
Everything is explained here

Another method that lets you control lights individually throughout your house is to create a floorplan and place your lights on it. Then you can click on each one to adjust it.

I don't want to create 4 scenarios for handling 4 individual lights.
The plan idea is OK.
I guess I expected that when I hover over a light button, a selection of waht is available would pop-up (like when their are submenus on the windows start menus of the kde ones.
It seems incredibly cludgy once you have selected a room, not to be able to control the lights or appliances individually from the UI.

Even without a floorplan (I haven't gotten around to that yet) you should just get a list of lights (when you hit the floorplan button) which you can then select and control individually. At least that is my experience.
