Now if someone has turned the light off in the meantime, this action will always turn it on again. I was wondering if there is a possibility to change just the color (or any parameter of the light) without using the light.turn_on call.
Like a light.set_color or light.set_option call or something along those lines.
Note that if you have other actions below this they won’t execute either if the light is off. You can usually get around this by making the condition just before the last service call in the actions.
Hello,
thank you very much, using a condition would actually solve that specific problem, though it would be nice to get a pure set_state call, as Lifx has. Who would be adding such an option? Is that something from the integration/plugin team or would that be something hue has to make possible first?
Again, thanks, I will definitely use this in several places and have a good day

It might be a limitation of the Hue API (application programming interface), i.e. what functions are actually available from the Hue hardware. I don’t know.
