When I select “all entities” option in a lights group, every time I trigger one of the entities (lights) of that group via an automation triggered by a motion sensor (motion-activated Light), ALL lights from that group turn on. If “all entities” checkbox is selected, I am able to trigger individual entities of that group without any issues. What am I missing here?
You are missing giving us any useful information to attempt to answer.
For example, ‘When I select “all entities” option’ … where?
And, ‘If “all entites” checkbos is selected’ … where?
Those really seem to be the same without context, but you are saying they act differently.

This is the “all entities” option in a Lights Group Helper
Somehow, when I do not select this option (which is what I want, so whenever one or more lights are turned on, the state of the group displays “lights on”), and trigger a single entity (light), all lights in that group are turned on (which is not what I want to happen).
Below is the automation that is supposed to turn 3 entities (lights) out of that group, but end up turning all the other lights in that group altogheter.
alias: Luzes Por Presenca Sala
description: “”
use_blueprint:
path: homeassistant/motion_light.yaml
input:
motion_entity: binary_sensor.sensor_de_presenca_sala_ocupacao
light_target:
entity_id:
- light.cristaleira_interruptor_luz
- light.aparador_interruptor_luz_2
- light.painel_tv_interruptor_luz
Please post your code using community standards. Specifically #11.

Sorry to bother. My concern is that this is a bug/glitch, not a config issue. I have other light groups that do not behave the same way.
I will remove the post. Do not want to be an inconvenience.
Thanks for your time anyway. I will try to solve the issue myself and then make a post about it.
Cheers

Just informing you that the standards are there to expedite resolutions and it helps when translating to english.
No inconvenience. Someone else may have a similar question in the future, so let’s do them a favor and answer it.
Your question is a bit cryptic, your yaml file and maybe a screenshot might help.
Guys, really appreciate your effort to help! This community ROCKS!
I just EXCLUDED that lights group and created another (identical - same entities) and now it works like a charm. Some minor glitch I guess.
All the best! Hope I can be of any assistance in the future
