Dimmer function in steps of 5 or 10%

Hi,

Is it possible to slide a dimmer or blinds (operates as a dimmer) in larger steps of 5 or 10% instead of 1%.
It is now very difficult to set a few dimmers(blinds) to the same setting. If i want to set it at 50%, one is at 53% other 49%, etc....

One way of dealing with this might be to create a virtual selector switch ('Master') with levels Opened, Closed and 10, 20, .. 90
and have a script triggered by this selector that sets the dimLevels of all "slave" blinds / dimmers based on the selector level.

I was already afraid this was only possible with a script. That means almost 10 virtual switches..... :roll:
I was hoping this would be possible as a functionality with Domoticz.

Can also be done without virtual swtches by giving the "master" role to one dimmer / blind and if that one is set to 53 move it and the slaves to 50 (if you want steps of 10, - or to 55 if you want steps of 5) by a script.
Don't think it will be possible to do this without scripting.
