Shared On/Off State

v0.01

Disclaimer:

This is my first attempt at writing a blueprint. Let me know if you have any feedback or edits I should make.

Description:

This automation shares the state of selected entities.
If you turn On/Off any entity in this group, either through software or physically, every other entity in this group will share the same state.

Example Usage:

  • 3-way switch (or more!)
  • Shared state On/Off groups

Shout Out

Special thanks to Petro for his comment from which I took heavy inspiration from.
I was trying to emulate a 3-way switch and couldn’t find any good examples until I stumbled upon his comment. I couldn’t find any blueprints that worked as well as him comment, so I created one. Thanks Petro!
