Recursive snapshot_entities

Hello! I’m trying to builda script that saves and then restores states of my lights, there is a very useful feature in the scene.create service called snapshot_entities, but it seems like it is not recursive. This means it simply does not support snapshotting states of all members of groups recursively.

So if I try to snapshot a group:

  - service: scene.create
    data_template:
      scene_id: before
      snapshot_entities:
        - group.living_room

It saves the state of the whole group.

For example: I have my ceiling light switched off and my floor light switched on. I create a scene with the script from above. This group includes both of those lights. Then I apply a different scene for some time, and when I restore the initial state both bulbs in the group get the same state - the state of the floor light(which was also the state of the group).

Is it possible to snapshot states of groups recursively?

Thank you!
