Multiple scripts with delay not working anymore

Configuration
1

Ok, I’m a bit confused…I have some covers (without open %) which I scripted to create some sort of scenes.
Let’s say I want a morning scene which opens my cover1 for 3 seconds (then stops) and cover2 for 10 seconds (then stops).

I created multiple scripts for temporization using the delay function, and everything worked fine for years…Now, I updated to latest version of HA and the scene is not working correctly anymore.

The problem is that before updating, scripts were executed simultaneously, now, every script waits the end before running another script (practically, each cover waits for the previous one to finish opening, before opening itself).

Here’s a part of my code:

Script Cover 1 open for 3 seconds:

s_cover1_open_3s:
  sequence:
  - service: shell_command.sh_cover_1_open
  - delay: '00:00:03'
  - service: shell_command.sh_cover_1_stop

Script Cover 2 opens for 10 seconds

s_cover2_open_10s:
  sequence:
  - service: shell_command.sh_cover_2_open
  - delay: '00:00:10'
  - service: shell_command.sh_cover_2_stop

Morning scene script

s_morning_scene:
  mode: parallel
  sequence:
  - service: s_cover1_open_3s
  - service: s_cover2_open_10s

Can anyone help me to prevent the delay function to temporarily stop my scene script execution?

P.S. mode: parallel is totally not influent

You need to change the way you call the scripts. Read this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script/#waiting-for-script-to-complete

So rather than:

      - service: script.turn_on
        entity_id: s_cover2_open_10s

Just use:

      - service: script.s_cover2_open_10s
