A non-admin user still can open some entity either from Settings->Entities (or from “Search”) & play with switches etc.
So, we may try to protect dashboards only (in some extent).
If you wish to disable a possibility to change switches from dashboards (sometimes it is easier than creating ANOTHER dashboards for other users) - you may try these alternatives:

  • card-mod to disable toggle buttons for particular users (here) - this is an example for Entities card, but same approach may be used for buttons;
  • restriction-card (here)

Also, you may create all switches (for all users incl. you) “not toggleable”:

and then you will have to use more-info for toggling them, but it works only for Entities card.

P.S.
I do not think this is correct - wildcards not allowed:

    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: switch.*

Try with smth like this (you will have to list all your 100500 switches):

      - platform: state
        entity_id:
          - switch.test_switch_1
          - switch.test_switch_2
          - switch.test_switch_3
          - switch.test_switch_4
          - switch.test_switch_5
          - switch.test_switch_6
