  name: Link On/Off State of Multiple Devices
  description: |
    ## Link On/Off State of Multiple Devices v1.0.0
    Select multiple entities to link their on/off state.  If any selected entity is turned on or off, the other selected entities will be sent a matching on or off command.
    You can select any entity, but only entities supported by the `homeassistant.turn_on` or `homeassistant.turn_off` service calls will work.
    ### Requirements
    * All selected entities MUST suport `homeassistant.turn_on` and `homeassistant.turn_off` or errors will be logged and the blueprint will not work.
    * Requires Home Assistant 2022.5.0 or newer.
