I’ve been having issues with transitions and Hue bulbs. When an automation is calling to activate a scene using a transition time, the bulb will not transition - it will only turn on. However, if I code it by hand in full in the automation calling the device or entity it will transition fine.
This automation fails to fade. The scene is comprised of one Hue spot bulb.
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: time
at: '00:00:00'
condition: []
action:
- service: scene.turn_on
data:
transition: 30
target:
entity_id: scene.fade_test_scene
metadata: {}
mode: single
This automation transitions fine. It does the same thing as the Scene.

trigger:
- platform: time

condition: []
action:
- service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.hue_color_spot_1
data:
brightness_pct: 50
transition: 30
mode: single
I have this issue with Hue spots and downlights, but seemingly not Hue standard lamps. When bulbs are in a scene those will fade; however, everything else will just turn on.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
