Automation for Smart Button to turn on or off bulbs not working

Configuration
1

Hi,
I’m still pretty new to Home Assistant, so apologies if I’m doing something stupid/missing something obvious.

I’m trying to set an automation so if I single press the button on an Aqara Zigbee button it will either turn on my bathroom lights if they are off (by a scene) or turn them off if they are on. The buttons connect to Home Assistant via the Tuya integration, and I’m using zigbee2mqtt.

I’ve got this working fine for my landing lights but for some reason the bathroom lights won’t turn off unless I’ve left them on for a few minutes.

The bulbs are wifi bulbs connected to Smartlife and this is the same on the landing and the bathroom.

I can’t use toggle as the lgihts don’t necessarily come on with the brightness and colour I want, but this isn’t a problem in the landing.

Below are the yaml configurations for the landing lights off and on and also the bathroom.

I did try just trying to control one bulb in the bathroom in case that was the issue but it didn’t make an difference.

I’m completely stumped by this and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if I’ve posted this incorrectly in any way

Update:
I’ve discovered the difference between the 2, the bulbs have 2 settings, white and colour. In the landing the bulbs are in colour mode. Changing the bathroom to this does make them detect straight away, but isn’t bright enough for general use.
So it seems the issue is the home assistant doesn’t register them as on in white mode (or at least takes a few minutes to do so).

Ok, I’ve found a workaround for this. Basically to make the lights come on white mode I’ve had to use a scene imported from Smart Life, but this then takes anywhere up to 10ish minutes for HA to register the lights as being on.
What I’ve done is to add to my automation extra actions after calling the scene to turn the bulbs on. Although they are already on HA now instantly recgonises their state as on.
Hope this makes sense and may help other beginners struggling with the same issue
