Adaptive Lighting

Good news!
Adaptive Lighting does not interfere like Circadian Lighting did.

Bad news!
A work-around is still required for me to get my ZHA light bulb groups. But, the solution is a bit simplier!

Simplified automation

This solution still requires the creation of a group named the same as your light group. This group needs to contain every bulb in that fixture. Example: for light.dining_room I created group.dining_room_fixture with all 9 bulbs.

alias: "Light Group Turn Off - Force To Stay Off"
id: light_group_turn_off
initial_state: true
mode: single

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - light.dining_room
      - light.play_room_floor_lamp
    from: "on"
    to: "off"

variables:
  light: '{{ trigger.entity_id }}'
  group: '{{ light | replace("light.","group.") + "_fixture" }}'
  bulbs: '{{ expand(group) | map(attribute="entity_id") | list }}'

action:
  - alias: Turn the light group off repeatedly until it stays off.
    repeat:
      sequence:
        - delay:
            seconds: 5

        # Turn off the individual bulbs one at a time.
        - repeat:
            count: "{{ bulbs|count }}"
            sequence:
              - service: light.turn_off
                data:
                  entity_id: '{{ bulbs[repeat.index-1] }}'

      until:
        - condition: template
          value_template: "{{ is_state(light, 'off') }}"
