I have the following automation. These are two switches (the first two entries); they are also grouped together. The third automation is supposed to work on that group as a whole:
- id: 'wall_switch_ch3_lampe_gauche'
initial_state: True
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.rf433_switch_payload_full
condition:
condition: template
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.rf433_switch_payload_full.state[-6:] == '1A97E2' }}"
action:
data:
entity_id: light.ch3_lampe_gauche
service: homeassistant.toggle
- id: 'wall_switch_ch3_lampe_droite'
initial_state: True
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.rf433_switch_payload_full
condition:
condition: template
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.rf433_switch_payload_full.state[-6:] == '1F97E9' }}"
action:
data:
entity_id: light.ch3_lampe_droite
service: homeassistant.toggle
- id: 'wall_switch_ch3_all_lamps'
initial_state: True
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.rf433_switch_payload_full
condition:
condition: template
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.rf433_switch_payload_full.state[-6:] == '5A4BE1' }}"
action:
data:
entity_id: group.ch3
service: homeassistant.toggle
For the sake of completeness, the group:
ch3:
entities:
- light.ch3_lampe_gauche
- light.ch3_lampe_droite
What happens is that when the 5A4BE1 signal is received (approximately speaking), the third automation fires and toggles the state of each switch separately.
In other words, when both switches are off or on - everything is OK (they both turn to the other state), but when one of the switches is on while the other is off, the former flips to off and the latter to on (and vice versa). Instead of both turning on or off, depending on the state of the group.
Why is it so?
