Automation being broken by a disconnected light timing out?? (sh.itjust.works)

I have an automation that when triggered turns on a scene that sets my lights a specific way. Then the automation waits for a second trigger.

I noticed that the automation doesn’t continue after the second trigger, so I looked at the trace, and it looks like the scene setting step of the automation times out: “error: Timed out when calling async_turn_on for bulb xyz: <class ‘TimeoutError’>

It looks like this bulb xyz was dropped from my zigbee network, which isn’t always the most stable. So it’s not exactly uncommon.

So how do I safeguard my automations from being broken by a single piece of a scene being offline?

I might give this a try while I work on the actual underlying cause. The rest of the automation isn’t impacted. It just turns the lights a color when it starts, then resets the color when the automation finishes.
