One Automation for Each Individual Z-Wave Dimmer, Possible?

@PostHumanGod wrote:

My GE 14294 Dimmers have the annoying property of saving the brightness level when dimmed. I came up with the following automation which “worked” leveraging the double-tap (I made the group association to enable double click). Double-tap up worked to set the light to full brightness as desired, double-tap off doesn’t work… but while annoying I can live with that unless someone has a fix.

So I’m looking for help with two things:

1. How to make this also turn off the light all the way with a double click off?
2. How to modify this so to be a single automation that can be applied to every dimmer switch, individually? Meaning, I don’t want to control both office_ceiling and bedroom_ceiling (e.g. two different switches, I actually have about 10) at the same time… I just want to avoid having to make 10 duplicate automations, 1 for every switch. I tried making entity_id into a list, that broke it. It would need to listen to multiple events (for different entities), determine which one actually triggered it (via a filter?) and then run the action for only the triggering entity.

Current, working* code:

- id: double_tap_office
  alias: Dimmer Double Tap
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      entity_id: zwave.office_ceiling
    event_type: zwave.node_event
    platform: event
  action:
  - data_template:
      brightness: 255
    entity_id: light.office_ceiling
    service_template: 
      {% if trigger.event.data.basic_level == 255 %}
        light.turn_on
      {% elif trigger.event.data.basic_level == 0 %}
        light.turn_off   <--- This doesn't seem to happen.
      {% endif %}
