Hi, I am trying to achieve the following with a “group.water_group” entity. That group is a combination in hass of a pump and a valve. I further have 3 sprinklers (valves) (which have noting to do with that group, that group is another valve and pump). When I toggle a sprinkler I want node red to check if the group is on, if not turn it on. And then if the sprinkler is done (turned off) I want the group to return to the previous state as it was before (on or off).
To be sure: the group.water_group entity has nothing to do with the sprinkler entities. The sprinkler(s) need to “control” and check the state of the group.water_group.
And I created:
The flow:

I tried multiple things to change etc. (not in the flow pasted) but I cannot find a way to get it work the way I want. What would be wrong and what do I need to change?
Thank you!
