I am reading through the documentation. I know I should have done that first, but continuing to dig. I will say that I have detect_non_ha_changes to false already. I should also say that I have three instances of Adaptive Lighting currently running. One for the living room. One for my office. And one for the bedroom. I have had no issues with the office or bedroom instances. It is only the living room I am having issues with.
This is likely where your problems are. If those smart switches are controlling smart bulbs with zigbee binding, you likely would only need to add switches to Adaptive Lighting, but not smart bulbs.
Try that, and see if it helps.
I have created zigbee groups that include both the switch and the bulbs and controlling the groups with adaptive lighting. But still getting inconsistent behavior.
I will try the switches and see if that works, but I am just wanting to control the color temperature and not the brightness. I didnāt think the switches themselves could adjust the color temp since that is not one of their attributes.
I will report back to see if the behavior changes at all.
Does anyone have any issue with lights turning their brightness down to 1% by themselves? I have an automation that turns on my lights every morning at 10 AM and as soon as they turn on they immediately transition to 1% brightness, and then back to regular brightness 1-5 min later. All lights have the exact same settings (none have any 1% brightness settings or sleep settings active) but only some lights do it. And only when the automation runs automatically, I canāt replicate it manually.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
I tried to use the switch and there was no adaptation. I changed the adaptive lighting to point back to the light groups and it is adapting, but still having odd behavior.
I havenāt had this issue, but have you tried disabled Adaptive Lighting to rule it out?
Oh ok, so it lists all the lights that are currently set to manual. Thanks
Thatās my understanding. I havenāt actually used it.
A while back I was trying to figure out how to know what was set to manual and couldnāt find the answer. Later I found that, but never played with it. Iāve definitely seen it populate with entities, just never gone beyond that observation.
Hi all,
Been happily using this integration with Hue lights for a while now. Works pretty good.
However, I only want to use the automatic color adaption and not the brightness. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, the brightness keeps getting changed.
Iāve turned off the brightness switch that is created for each AL entity but that did not work. The lights get dimmed towards the night.
Additionally, Iām using the adaptive_lightning.apply action to manually reinstate control after intervention, but this service call is also changing the brightness immediately, even though Iām using āadapt_brightness: falseā.
I do not want this integration to change brightness, ever. How can I stop this from happening?
Did you uncheck sleep brightness ?
I did, but once you press confirm it doesnāt actually save it. If you press configure again afterwards, the box is checked again.
Did you try doing that via the CONFIGURE-button of each entity? Remove the ticks for brightness control? Or set min and max to the same number?
Yesz through the GUI using the configure button. I have tried both unticking and changing the number manually.
Update: wait, you write that after confirm the changes are not kept.
I tried this myself, and indeed, the changes do NOT stick! Thatās a bug!?
I am able to set the min and max brightness sliders to the same value.
Please ignore below:
After unticking/changing the number, did you scroll all the way down and press the SUBMIT button?
Thatās easy to miss due to the many options 
Yes I pressed submit. I guess you found out already itās a bug 
Iām able to set the brightness sliders to the same value, and save these settings.
Would this help you achieve what you want?
Changing min and max to the same value isnāt going to fly, I think?
Because the brightness is being controlled by my hue scenes. This integration will still change the brightness to whatever value I will set in min/max, which is undesirable.
But regardless of ticking or unticking these boxes, I wouldnāt expect brightness to be changed at all if I disable the main brightness switch, for which there is a seperate entity.
Yeah I would expect that too. That did work well for the first circadian lighting custom_component I used before using this one. This one has become so complex (to configure) Iām not surprised it doesnāt work.
If interested you can try it, see the link to the Circadian Lighting custom_component in the first post of this thread.

The latest Home Assistant has some incompatible changes with an older version of adaptive lighting. Have you tried updating to the latest version?
Otherwise it sounds like a bug.
