Adaptative Lighting and Zigbee bound lights

[Donmici]

I have looked around a bit, but I seem to be stuck on this : the light in my bedroom
is an RGB zigbee bulb that is controlled by a zigbee Dimmer by means of Zigbee binding. The dimmer itself is not connected to any lights other than by this binding.

When I setup Adaptive lighting on the bulb, it doesn’t work unless I turn the bulb on via the HA app. From what I understand this is normal since Adaptative Lighting “hijacks” the light.turn_on command, and by using the binding, no such command is sent.

I would still like to keep this binding active so I dont solely depend on HA to control my bedroom light, but even if I creatle an automation on the dimmer turning on to call lights.turn_on in HA, it doesn’t work. I also tried to use the ZHA event of pressing up on the paddle to trigger, but no luck either.

Do you guys have any idea on how to use Adaptive Lighting while retaining my binding here?

There is an option in Adaptive Lighting configuration to detect non-ha changes. It needs to be on and then it works very well with binding + Adaptive Lighting.

Had the same problem when I found that thread, so leaving the solution here.

Detailed steps to activate this option:

Settings > Integrations > Adaptive Lighting > Configure (on problematic entity).

You should see settings pop-up now with a lot of options.

Scroll down and check “Take over control” and “Detect non-ha changes” like on the screenshot:

Scroll to the very bottom and hit “Submit”.

Turn off and on your light with the binded remote → Adaptive Lighting just took control and adapted it!
