The switches to sync can be selected on the UI. There are templates for 2, 3 and 4 switches. Place them to a subfolder under config/homeassistant/blueprints/automation and after calling the service automation.reload on the UI the templates are selectable. sync_2switch.yaml blueprint: name: Sync two switches description: Turn on a switch when other one is turend on and vice versa domain: automation input: switch_entity1: name: Switch 1 selector: entity: domain: switch switch_entity2: name: Switch 2 selector: entity: domain: switch variables: switch_entity1: !input switch_entity1 switch_entity2: !input switch_entity2 trigger: -

However, I am getting an error in the script. Am I missing something? I pasted in the scripting error. Any help would be appreciated. - Thanks image1007×352 22 KB 1 Like thatdoogieguy (Jacob Thomas) April 24, 2022, 10:54am 6 A massive thank you for this simple switching logic, makes for a much cleaner set of scenarios to sync up switches that is otherwise reasonably difficult to manage. i’ve basically forked these scripts and edited some timing logic to better suit my needs, matched my own naming schemes internally, and added a 2 way inverse sync script to allow for a permanent OR state. Gists are published for an easy add to HA instances.

Script.radio turns on mediaplayer.onkyo + sets network mode and fires internet radio threw google cast integration - this works great. I wanted to sync state of mediaplayer.onkyo and the wall button, after onkyo is turned on by remote controler or phisical button. This works …almost. Because every time sync is trigered, script.radio is also trigered. Can you advice, how to use this blueprint, together with a condition, that sync should not triger the script? evlo (Evlo) September 4, 2022, 2:53pm 10 @thatdoogieguy I have tried to import templates you posted here, but I'm getting this error in zigbee2mqtt - used for both switches Publish 'set' 'state' to 'Ložnice vypínač' failed: 'Error: Command 0x847127fffe94eee6/2 genOnOff.off({}, {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":false,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Timeout - 33270 - 2 - 35 - 6 - 11 after 10000ms)' @Underknowledge posted this on discord, does not work (when modified for my switches etc.) - maybe it is the same errors alias: Theoretical automation to group some switchen trigger: - platform: state entity_id: - switch.1 condition: - condition: template value_template: "{{ trigger.from_state.state != trigger.to_state.state }}" action: - service_template: switch.turn_{{ trigger.to_state.state }} target: entity_id: - switch.1 image887×172 13.4 KB @glenhart same string does not match pattern of DEPRECATED^ seems that it should work when replacing service_template with service removes the complaint in the code validator, but switches do not sync image720×538 21.8 KB For some reason this also does not work for me altrought the logic in the code makes sense this also does not work for me, so i guess time to learn I guess the core issue in my case is 2022-09-04 17:31:16Publish 'set' 'state' to 'Ložnice vypínač' failed: 'Error: Command 0x847127fffe94eee6/2 genOnOff.off({}, {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":false,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Timeout - 33270 - 2 - 87 - 6 - 11 after 10000ms)' So I have paired the switch again and now it works, let's see how long it will last Underknowledge (Underknowledge) September 4, 2022, 9:17pm 11 Dont worry to much bout it, when it looks good it the template editor it should be fine ™ the command helper is funky from time to time matrix2669 September 6, 2022, 10:39pm 12 After a lot of playing around with the blueprints in this thread, I was able to make a single blueprint that you can add 2 or more switches to to be synchronized. This eliminates needing multiple blueprints for 2, 3, 4, etc. switches. It will also only call the service to any switch that is not already in the matching state of the trigger switch. This is my first blueprint, so please let me know any feedback on how this works for you. blueprint: name: Sync Multiple Switches description: Sync the On/Off status of 2 or more switches domain: automation input: switch: name: Switches to Control selector: entity: multiple: true domain: switch variables: switches: !input switch trigger: - platform: state entity_id: !input switch condition: - "{{ trigger.to_state.context.parent_id == none }}" - "{{ trigger.to_state.state == 'on' or trigger.to_state.state == 'off' }}" action: - service_template: > {% if trigger.to_state.state == 'on' %} switch.turn_on {% elif trigger.to_state.state == 'off' %} switch.turn_off {% endif %} data_template: entity_id: > {% set ts = namespace(switch=[]) %} {% for sw in switches %} {% if not is_state(sw,trigger.to_state.state) %} {% set ts.switch = ts.switch + [sw] %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {{ ts.switch | list }} 8 Likes BB9 (BB8) October 4, 2022, 7:40am 13 Works like a charm for me with 2 switches @matrix2669 , thanks! 1 Like FrAllard November 13, 2022, 1:42am 14 Thank you for sharing your blueprint. I tried it and it is working when operating the switches manually, the other one will follow the same state. I have a problem when I change state of one of the switch from home assistant. If I set the switch to off, the automation is triggering many times and the switch goes off then back on. I can see 5 traces all at the same time in the automation traces, I don’t know if there are more only the last 5 traces are showing. I’m trying to wrap my head around what could cause this… Oh and if I set again th…
