#

how can i make it so this only executes after the second one is done

#

you mean like wait for each parallel branch to complete before executing the final action?

wild fossil
#

Wait for only the second branch to complete.

muted valley
#

It seems like you just need to put the last action in the first branch outside of the parallel: block

wild fossil
#

When will it execute?

muted valley
#

after the parallel block is complete

wild fossil
#

I don't want that.

#

The left part of the parallel block takes an hour to complete.

#

The right part takes 20 minutes.

#

I want the action to execute after the right part has finished.

muted valley
#

then just put it after the last action in the right part?

#

seems like you don't care what's happening on teh left side for this

wild fossil
muted valley
#

it's just a sequence

wild fossil
#

?

muted valley
#

it's really easier if you just share the code

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

but if you've chosen to use a loop on the right side that eventually completes after 20 mins and you want to do something at that point, just put it after the loop

wild fossil
#

If I put it after the loop it will be inside the parallel block and execute instantly.

muted valley
#

It is also possible to run a group of actions sequentially inside the parallel actions. The example below demonstrates that:

#

no, it will execute after the loop

#

make it part of a sequence as shown in that example

#

loop, then action

#

you can do more than one thing in series in a parallel branch

wild fossil
#

That does not work.

#

Now it's repeated, as I said.

muted valley
#

looks like you put it in the loop

#

don't do that

#

follow the example

wild fossil
#

Where else would I put it?

#

Outside the loop?

#

So... inside the parallel block.

#

and it would execute instantly..

#

which I already said is not what I want.

muted valley
#

see the sequence: block in the example

#

I get that you seem perturbed

#

the sequence: block groups things together that will execute sequentially

#

use that, first thing is the loop, second thing is the action you want to happen after the loop

wild fossil
#

🤦‍♀️

muted valley

here is the example:

      - parallel:
          - sequence:
              - wait_for_trigger:
                  - trigger: state
                    entity_id: binary_sensor.motion
                    to: "on"
              - action: notify.person1
                data:
                  message: "This message awaited the motion trigger"
          - action: notify.person2
            data:
              message: "I am sent immediately and do not await the above action!"

im an idiot

#

I did read the example, very closely.

#

I did not realize I could put a sequence block inside a sequence block inside a parallel block.

#

I got confused because the loop already uses sequence blocks..

#

Solved.
