Some of the caveats of running actions in parallel: It is possible to halt a script sequence at any point. That works well. I have a pyscript that counts lights that are on,off, unavailable. These actions allow a script to wait for entities in the system to be in a certain state as specified by a template, or some event to happen as expressed by one or more triggers.

So if Im understanding correctly the reason that conditional exists is really just to make sure you dont automatically change the brightness of the light if someone has manually adjusted it, right? Probably the easiest way would be to use a variable in this script, and then call it two or three times from another script where it passes the entity_id of each camera for each call. If a script contains only 1 action, the wrapping list can be omitted.
