  description: >
    Prevent multiple automations from clashing with each other by ensuring that only one runs at a time.
    This blueprint groups together multiple automations that execute actions on the same device,
    and ensures that they do not overlap. This is a common problem in Home Assistant, and this
    blueprint makes it trivial to solve.
    
    This blueprint has only one input: a list of automations. When one automation from the list starts to run,
    the other automations will be turned off. When one automation from the list ends, the other automations
    will be turned on again.

    automations:
