Can't turn on multiple Flux LEDs at once

Configuration
1

Hi, I am Home Assistant newbie from Tokyo.

Lately I have purchased some MagicHome compatible right which I expect to use with flux_led platform. However, I can not turn on these light at once, but one by one.Here are some example script but this behavior applies to automation too.

  turn_on_2f_lights_at_once:
    sequence:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: light.table,light.living_s,light.living_e,light.kitchen_s

I want to turn on these 4 rights together, but when I trigger this script only one of them will be turned on. In this example, light.living_e is always turned on.

  turn_on_2f_lights_one_by_one:
    sequence:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: light.table
      - service: light.turn_on
        data: 
          entity_id: light.living_s
      - service: light.turn_on
        data: 
          entity_id: light.living_e
      - service: light.turn_on
        data: 
          entity_id: light.kitchen_s

Then I finally figured out(?) this can work, but this would just turn on lights one by one - but better than previous example, so I am also using multiple services on my automation. Also interestingly, this needs 7 seconds of delay between each light.turn on when I trigger. I am assuming if Home Assistant can not send packet to turn_on packet to more than one flux_led at once. Have you ever experienced this behavior or can you point out if my configuration is wrong?

And light.turn_off can turn off multiple flux_leds at once, this works perfectly.

Thanks.

I have this same experience using when flux_led component to turn on multiple Magic Light bulbs. I’m running 0.79.3 hassio on a Raspberry Pi 3. I will try your workaround by using a separate “service: light.turn_on” request for each bulb.
