Group connection of switches - termination of automation

Configuration
1

Hello to everybody,
I need help, I reached the step where I can turn on all 6 switches with one automation and turn them off with the other automation,
but it only works in the ideal case.
If I quickly turn one of the switches on and off, all the switches start flashing frantically - the automations start to mix.
Before starting the automation, I need to set the condition that another automation (OFF) is terminated.
Thank you

Hello, I’m sorry.
I think it applies to HA.
I just need advice on how to improve my automation so that everything works perfectly.
Thank you

Can you explain what you want the automation to do? Do you want the “group switch” to turn on and off when you operate any of six separate switches? If so, this should do it, assuming the “group switch” doesn’t then change the state of the others:

description: >
  When any of the six switches changes, set the group switch
  to match the state of the switch that has just been operated.
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - switch.laundry_room_center
      - switch.bathroom_l2
      - switch.0x00124b00226afe36_center
      - switch.0x00124b00226bba0e_left
      - switch.childen_room_mirda_center  
      - switch.children_room_tea_center
    to:
      - 'on'
      - 'off'
condition:
  - "{{ trigger.to_state.state != states('switch.hallway_first_floor_light_grp') }}"
action:
  - service: switch.turn_{{ trigger.to_state.state }}
    target:
      entity_id: switch.hallway_first_floor_light_grp
mode: queued

Triggered on any switch being operated (the to: statement guards against individual switches going offline by ignoring unknown or unavailable states); checks that the group switch doesn’t match the new state (so if the group is on and you switch another switch on, nothing happens), then changes the group switch to match the change you made.

Typo in switch.childen_room_mirda_center? “children”?

Sorry for the delay.
I want to change the state of the other switches when one of the switches is turned on - solved by a group of switches.
I have a problem with this - that if I turn on one switch and immediately turn off all the switches and the lights start flashing like crazy - because the automations start to mix.

Your solution sounds very good, but I can’t implement the code into HA :slight_smile:
