Execute trigger when a type of device (lights) changes state

Is it possible to have a trigger that executes when any light in my home changes state?

For instance, could I have a trigger that executes and updates a variable named AllLightsOn whenever any light has a state change, i.e. on, off, or dimmed?

Thanks.

Not really sure if this will help, but you could create a Virtual Device Group in Indigo. Then trigger on a state change of that device.

That's what I would recommend.
