    Lights go to party mode (color loops or fade-in-and-out)

    ⚠️ **NOTE:** ⚠️
    *This automation is triggered by the status of a switch or an input_boolean entity.*
    *You can create this input_boolean by going to Settings > Devices & services > Helpers*
    *There you click on 'Create helper and choose 'Toggle'.*

And what if the lamps are not included in the loop but are simply switched off at start and then on again afterwards? These lamps would then be selected in the blueprint, in a new category but in the same way as the party lights, but they would have a different function than the party lights because they would simply switch off at the start and on at the end. Is this possible?

It's best to create a seperate automation for this.
Simply turn them off when the party mode trigger is turned on and back on to their previous state when the party mode trigger is turned off again.
