    <summary><b>The Automation Process:</b> 👈</summary>

      - **Actions:**
          - Tracks if an entity is manually turned ON and OFF, updating the toggle helper to reflect the control method.
          - If the entity is turned ON by an automation, the toggle helper remains unchanged.

      - **Auto OFF Options:**
          - Automatically turns off the target entity and toggle helper.
          - Automatically turns off the toggle helper.

      name: Target Entities To Track
      description: >
        Select the entities to monitor and determine if they are manually turned ON or OFF.
        These entities will be tracked specifically for manual ON and OFF actions, distinguishing them from automation-driven changes.


        These entities are typically lights or switches used in my other blueprints, allowing you to maintain manual control when turning them on manually.

        Select the entity to update when the target entity is manually turned ON or OFF, reflecting the manual control state.
        
        
        This entity is typically a toggle helper, which you use in the bypass of my other blueprint in Option 3.
