Global Trigger IDs

It would be great to have Trigger IDs global, instead of just within a single automation.

That way it would become much easier to prevent multiple automations causing conflicts.

For instance, sometimes i watch F1 on Android TV while playing Radio Grand Prix commentary on AVR receiver. I have a Zigbee remote triggering an automation “play/pause all” that plays/pauses both devices. But i also have a fallback automation for when Android TV is paused via tv remote, then AVR pauses too.

The latter causes conflicts, so i would love to be able to not run the latter when trigger id was “play/pause all”. Of course it would mean an audit chain would have to be created logging if an automation was triggered as a result of another automation.

Post the two automations that you claim require a “global trigger.id” to avoid causing “conflicts”.

Use Events if you need global trigger IDs
