Improvement: have an attribute that shows whether the lights are in sync with Lightener

[Patrick1610]

I would really like an attribute, or seperate entity, that shows whether the lights that are in a lightener group are in sync with the configuration or not. This way it is possible to know if a light has been manually turned up or down and this could block any automations after a manual adjustment. This would greatly improve my automations. Would this be possible?

I have been thinking about this a little further and think that a switch entity per lightener is the best, because it is possible to use this in automations, and for the use as a ‘reset’. Let me explain:

• lightener is set to 50%, in which case the dining room is also at 50%. I manually dim the dining room to 75%, and the switch ‘Sync’ turns off. This allows me to conditionally block some automations that control the lightener
• When I want to reset the lights, but don’t want the lightener to change from 50%, the switch-turn on could be used as a reset button within lightener, setting all the lights in sync with the current lightener brightness.
