Addon to remove/add groups of items?

Does anyone know if EHT (or another more lightweight addon) can utilize a single hotkey to remove and then replace/undo for saved groups of furnishings?

For context, my enchanted lights have to be constantly replaced (or I have to relog) when they go out, and doing it manually for each one sucks. Since ZOS has made it really evident they have no intention of fixing this bug, I'm looking for any help for a more convenient workaround.

Thanks in advance!

    You could make a build of the lights then copy/paste from inventory but not sure that would fix your issue. I've not had any of my enchanted lights go out - which ones?

    All of them, just specifically to my Hakkvild's High Hall. I've posted on here previously looking for help and was informed that it's because of the load screens/size of the house? Enchanted lights or anything with a glow effect turn off when you're in a different part of the house-- so when I load in, the front cave works, but the house itself doesn't. When I go into the house and then load back to the entrance cave, those lights stop working. My friend has a similar problem with her own Hakkvild's, and another with Erstwhile Sanctuary. We've all reported it multiple times and I've seen other threads regarding the issue on the housing and bug forums, but I've never seen ZOS even acknowledge it.

    Thanks for the idea though. Just looking for possible workarounds before I commit to the idea of tearing it down and trying to build somewhere else :(

    One option you could use is select everything in the home and then save that home layout as Hakkvilds 1.
    Next move everything in that selection down just slightly then save that layout as Hakkvilds 2.

    Proceed to load Hakkvilds 2 on entry then Hakkvilds one to fix your lights if moving them is all it takes.

    The other alternative is to do the same step 1 as above but afterwards remove all enchanted lights in the house then save it as Hakkvilds 2.

    Then loading Hakkvilds 2 will load a version and pickup all your enchanted lights, upon loading Hakkvilds 1 will place all the lights back down.

    The two click solution for this is to place the mouse over the EHT button and click Turn All Lights Off.
    Then click Turn All Lights On. The lights nearest to you should appear.


    I just made a related video for a guild member that may also help you. If you go this route you can save your item selection for reuse later so that you do not have to repeat the selection step again.

    Also @ZOS_Cardinal made a more detailed video on copy & paste a while ago.

    Select all, use the drop down and select “turn on these items”

    With switchable items this should work. If you are talking about unswitchable, some other ideas may work from above

    What if you group the lights, like so you move them all at once. Would clicking on one affect all the lights? I have never tried, so just asking.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    No but you can make a trigger to do that. “If light A is toggled, Then toggle all items in this Group.”

    All of the offending items are unswitchable, so I will have to try out some of the posted solutions and see if any of them work.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    This seems to be the best option for me, but this is my first time playing with EHT. How does one save a home layout?

    Okay, all the offending objects are then also bugged. I'm really tired of this bug. Please report it along with me? I have sent videos.
