I'm trying to understand how to group my devices in HStouch designer and i know i need to either link or group my devices but I'm not sure how this works inside hstouch designer. Here is where I am stuck. I have devices that are dimmable and are on/off only devices and would like these added to the list. Thank you for your help.

Grouping in designer doesn't create a link between devices. I use group boxes to help with alignment of Dimmers switches or what ever you drop into the group box. One way I use a group box is for a common menu bar that I have at the bottom of every page. You can copy and paste the group box to a new page very easily.
Linking occurs between a graphical device such as a slider, and the actual Dimmer device it will control.Blair

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly. At the bottom of my design page I have a light icon that I hope to control all my upb lights but right now it brings up a menu to control everything on my system. In the designer, when I choose the command for the icon I choose control a device and gives me a list of devices but I can only control one device and not all my upb devices. This is where I am stuck. I appreciate everyone's patience.

I understand what your trying to achieve, but in the simplest of designs each icon/slider can only control one device.
That is to toggle on/off of slide up and down the brightness.
Here is what I did to control two separate light dimmers in my kitchen.
each of the buttons command both lights to be on at 10% 33% 66% or 100%
both devices need to added to the action editor screenBlair
