Automation in Single mode is spamming my logs

Configuration
,
1

I have an automation that I have intentionally set to single, with a pause at the end to prevent circular calls. (the automation is designed to sync a set of smart bulbs with a z-wave dimmer that is in “smart bulb” mode).
The automation is working as designed - which I turn on/off the bulbs it sets the the switch to the same state and visa-versa.
My problem is that I get a WARNING in my log every time this automation executes - which is stupid. At most this should be an INFO and probably just a DEBUG (IMHO). Is there any way to suppress these WARNINGS? I plan on replicating this pattern for a lot of my lights and it is going to end up making a total mess of my log file.

Try to set max_exceeded to silent:

automation:
  - mode: single
    max_exceeded: silent
    trigger:
      - ...
    action:
      - ...

In that case, this blueprint simplies the task (note that it employs max_exceeded: silent).

Of course it was in the docs, guess I must have skimmed over that piece. Thanks!

OK that is really cool, thanks for sharing.

Here is the link that Taras shared to a blueprint that does EXACTLY what I need.
