Did this work for you?
It seems that no matter what I do, I can only switch one device on.
For example, if I cut-and-paste the same format as you suggested, the second one of the three lights that I list will turn on, but not the other two. If I simply swap them and try again, whichever falls in second will turn on, but still not the others.
I have also created groups, scenes, etc… I can never get multiple entities to turn on.
By the way… they are all of the same type.
Well… That much I know (i.e. basic stuff & something else is wrong). The question is: what?
I have tried everything, but again a simple automation (i.e. in the automation.yaml) such as:
- id: '1510464937408'
alias: Bedroom at Night
trigger:
- platform: time
at: '23:30'
condition: []
action:
- service: light.turn_off
data:
entity_id: light.bedroom_light
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.bedroom_fan
works fine. But if I change “off” to “on” in the first service line, it won’t work anymore.
I had tried that before (but did it again, just in case). Same difference: only the fan goes on. Also, with this structure, I can only turn “on” or turn “off” everything (and hence, it never works). With my original structure (above), I can make one “off” and the other “on” and that is the only case that two services will work. (i.e. with my code, “off” and “on” works, but “on” and “on” or even “on” and “off” won’t work).
Here are my config/auto .yaml files if anyone wants to take a look.

I had done that too. But did it again. Same behavior, except that I have just noticed that with “light.turn_on”, it is the bedroom_fan (second one) that goes on, but with homeassistant.turn_on it is the bedroom_light (first one) that goes on.
Hey! I think I have a corrupted script. Could you please send me your:/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/service.py file?
I have just noticed this error while turning on/off bedroom_fan:

Just FYI… reinstalling didn’t work. It seems that the json responses from the HABridge are not being correctly decoded by HomeAssistant.
It is weird because I can’t find any other related bug reports around. So, it may be some wrong setting that is very rare, and I was “lucky” to have picked that.
I solved the problem by adding the code below to line 947 of /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aiohttp/client_reqrep.py
Now multiple service, actions, group of devices… everything that wasn’t working is now working.
