Ive run out of ideas. Im just suggesting a simpler initial part, comparing the last_updated time to the last_triggered time seems like unnecessary complexity (and as you pointed out, isnt working). Yes there is, different lights are controlled by different sensors. While it sounds attractive to parallelize, most of the time, just the regular I have spoken too soon and only did a few number of tests which did not reveal all issues. rogro82/hass-variables/blob/master/examples/counter.yaml it encounters an error; it will continue to the next action.
