The idea is that I would have 5 separate “bottle entities” (Bottle 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) which would be controlled with one dummy entity (Bottle Lights). “Bottle Lights” is “connected” to GPIO15. GPIO15 is not exist on ESP01S module, so as said, it is dummy. It’s purpose is only to have it inside HA as light entity, so I can turn it on/of, change color, etc. and transfer it’s value to every separate bottle via automation, with 1 second delay between bottles.
Not important for current situation, but just to explain: “Bottle Lights Complete” is whole strip, all 50 pixels, and it is controlable directly from HA. This is something I will need later.
Ok, as said, the idea is that I change color or brightness or effect on dummy “Bottle Lights” entity, then automation should apply same color/brightness/effect values from “Bottle Lights” to “Bottle 5”, wait 1 second, apply to “Bottle 2”, wait 1 second, etc. all 5 bottles.
This is the automation:

Everything is working like a charm, except when I’m playing with effects. If I change the effect on dummy “Bottle Lights” entity, this is also ok - new effect will be applied on all 5 bottles, second by second. But if turn off the effect on dummy entity, i.e. set effect to None, then nothing happens. Basically, if I turn on any effect via dummy entity, it is not possible switch back to None any more, I can only switch between effects (of course, I can switch to None via each single entity lovelace card - Bottle 1, 2, 3…)
Is it possible that automation cannot be triggered if some state has been changed to “None”?
Sorry for long post, I was try to explain best I can. Thanks in advance, if you need any additional info…
