With the release of 2022.11.0 I’ve started creating automations around the Unifi Integration. What I wanted to achieve is disabling 3 PoE switches with an attached u6-mesh access point, as well as a u6-mesh ap in the garden when we’re in bed or away from home.
The automation runs and works,… most of the time. 
When the automation fires it sends to commands to my udmp to turn of power for certain ports. First night I tested this I noticed not all ports where disabled. I thought I had to build a delay because maybe the udmp does not handle all commands at the same time very well. Thus I build the following automation, this is for when we wake up:
- alias: wifi_on_time_state_morning
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_select.house_time_state
to: 'Morning'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.house_presence_state
state: 'Home'
action:
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.tech_azi_1_living_room_poe
- delay:
seconds: 30
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.tech_azi_2_playcorner_poe
- delay:
seconds: 30
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.tech_azi_3_attic_2_poe
- delay:
seconds: 30
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.tech_garden_poe
- wait_template: "{{ is_state('switch.tech_azi_1_living_room_poe', 'on') }}"
- wait_template: "{{ is_state('switch.tech_azi_2_playcorner_poe', 'on') }}"
- wait_template: "{{ is_state('switch.tech_azi_3_attic_2_poe', 'on') }}"
- wait_template: "{{ is_state('switch.tech_garden_poe', 'on') }}"
- service: notify.pushover_power
data:
title: "Network"
message: "Switches and WiFi are '{{ states.switch.tech_garden_poe.state }}'."

sound: none

# 04-11-2022: Created automation.
I have similar automations built for when we go to sleep and away/home.
The delay did not help this morning. Only the first, switch.tech_azi_1_living_room_poe, was turned on. (Thank god, otherwise the kids would’ve woken us…)
Any idea how I can for example make a check every minute after running the automation to check of said switches have actually turned on, and if not try again.
