How can you set a Preset using Select.Select_Option to a Group. entities

Configuration
1

so i made a script to record WLED current state and then apply a preset and then restore the current state… now that works well and in node red if you specify the light.xxxx_preset now i can record Scenes using group… but i cant seem to select.select_option to a group… so what i have is

sequence:
  - action: scene.create
    metadata: {}
    data:
      snapshot_entities:
        - group.wled_devices_save_restore_settings
      scene_id: incoming_call_current_leds_state
  - action: select.select_option
    metadata: {}
    data:
      option: Incoming Call
    target:
      entity_id:
        - group.wled_devices_incoming_call_presets
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 20
      milliseconds: 0
  - action: scene.turn_on
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: scene.incoming_call_current_leds_state
alias: LED - "INCOMING CALL" - CURRENT STATE/RESTORE

### Set Wled to "Incoming Calls" ###
wled_devices_incoming_call_presets:
  name: Wled Devices Incoming Call Presets
  icon: mdi:devices
  entities:
    - select.pumpkin_head_1_preset
    - select.happy_halloween_preset
    - select.wled_monitor_table_bedroom_preset
    - select.wled_snack_bar_above_sink_shelf_preset
    - select.server_rack_preset

so what i trying to do is not edit the automation/script/node red everytime i add an wled… just edit the groups.yaml and just edit the 2 locations…

i know you cant use group as nod red doesnt allow it nore did the scripts… but im sure there is a way to state the groups preset to the “incoming call” or others i have …

The action select.select_option only works on entities in the select domain. It will not work on group entities. What I think you are trying to do is use the group entity’s ID to get the entity IDs of all the group members. If that’s what you are trying to do, then you need to use a template that retrieves the entity_id attribute:

  - action: select.select_option
    metadata: {}
    data:
      option: Incoming Call
    target:
      entity_id: |
        {{ state_attr('group.wled_devices_incoming_call_presets', 'entity_id') }}
