Adaptive Lighting turning on lights instantly instead of gradually

Third party integrations
1

I am trying to set up a motion-activated lighting automation combined with Adaptive Lighting, but I ran into a strange issue, and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a misconfiguration on my part.

I have an Inovelli light switch connected to Home Assistant (via Matter integration). On the switch itself, I have the transition time set to 1 second for both off > on and on > off, so the lightbulbs gradually turn on and off. Before I added Adaptive Lighting into the mix, my automation would honor that setting, and the lights would gradually turn on and off over a 1-second period. When I added Adaptive Lighting, any time the lights turn on from either the automation or using the UI, they turn on instantly with a flicker. They still turn off gradually as expected. If I disable Adaptive Lighting for that switch, the lights gradually turn on and off as expected.

Here is my automation:

              transition: 1
            target:

        sequence:
          - action: adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control
            metadata: {}
            data:
              manual_control: false
              entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_office
mode: single

Also, in the Adaptive Lighting configuration for this switch, I have the ‘initial_transition’ set to 1, but that does not seem to do anything regardless of what it is set at.

Do I have something misconfigured? What I’d like to have happen is for the lights to honor the hardware setting of dim on/dim off regardless of how they are turned on/off.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Your help is appreciated!

Bump? If someone could let me know if it’s something I’m doing in configuration/automation vs. something with the code, that would be really appreciated - thanks in advance!
