[Automations] Parallel actions don't work whenever one of them fails

Hey there,

I have set up an automation which basically does:

  • When a button is pressed
  • Run these actions in parallel:
    • Change heating schedule
    • Start the vacuum cleaner
    • Turn off all lights

The problem is that whenever “turn off all lights” returns an error, other actions aren’t performed (even if they’re supposed to run in parallel).

Such error could be “Failed to send request: device did not respond”, because some of the (zigbee) light bulbs have their physical switch turned off. Which is fine to me, because it means they’re turned off as intended.

Is there a way to ignore this error and keep the automation running?

Thank you,
Ben
