What on earth have you got on them all. Sounds like you are using
group
rather than scene based ?

We have lived with the inital install for a few months writing down things
we would like. What we have now is an implementation of that - I can't turn
the kitchen lights off from the bedroom but I never have wanted to - House
all off is enough.
