Create switch Entity with two automations behind

Configuration Frontend

I have created two automations

  • One is turning two devices on (2x Power Plugs connected to Sony SRS-XB501G) and

  • the other that torning four devices off. (2x Power Plug and additionally the 2x Sony SRS-XB501G)

This is needed because The Sony Devices have Batteries, if i only turn off the plugs, the devices just stay on. Also it is not possible to remote turn on the Sony Boxes via Command. But with the Work around to plug them in with power, they will turn on automatically and search for the Wifi.

My problem is now, i want a create a entity switch that runs, depending on the state each automations.

I have acheived to create a button, to run the automation, but with that i need two seperate and i cant see what is the state of the devices in one entity. can you help me to to achive this?

Here is the example what i have aceived so far:

entities:
  - entity: light.rooflamp
  - entity: switch.printer_epson
  - entity: automation.srs_xb501g_off
    name: Turn off Boxes
    show_state: false
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: automation.trigger
      service_data:
        entity_id: automation.srs_xb501g_off
    type: button
  - entity: automation.srs_xb501g_on
  - entity: light.pwr_right
  - entity: light.pwr_left
show_header_toggle: false
title: Livingroom
type: entities

Create an input_boolean
It looks like a toggle switch in the UI

Have the state of the input_boolean trigger your on and off automations.

Thank you for the Tip. I just found out to define a switch at the “Helper” register and then define it to the “automation” register for my two automations. afterwards i just add the created Boolean switch to the loveui card and it worked without any additional configuration!
