I currently have an automation to turn on a light group of 20 individual lights every time motion is detected. If motion is detected every few seconds, I guess the service would be calling to turn on the light group even though they are already on. Are there any downsides to this? Should I be checking if the lights are already on before calling the service?
The reason it becomes tedious is because there may be an individual light that is turned off for one reason or another. I want the detected motion to turn on that individual light that is off. If I want to check for an individual light, I will need to separate the automation to check that each light is turned on, and then turn on each light individually that is not on. Is it worth the effort?
