When I first started using Home Assistant, I created a bunch of scenes using the GUI. Now that I understand the system a bit better, I’m leaning into YAML editing, and I’m also starting to track changes with git, so I want to trim down the YAML files to include only the necessary lines. I have a few questions about what’s ok to delete here.
Some scenes include an attribute called off_brightness that’s set to various numbers. What does this mean?
These attributes all sound like a description of the device’s capabilities; what’s the purpose of including these in a scene?
supported_features
min_color_temp_kelvin
max_color_temp_kelvin
min_mireds
max_mireds
effect_list
supported_color_modes
Some RGB lights include multiple ways of describing color, but I would expect these to be mutually exclusive. Is this a bug? Here’s an example that includes all of these: hs_color, rgb_color, xy_color, color_temp_kelvin, and color_temp.
light.bedroom_lamps_group_zha_group:
min_color_temp_kelvin: 2000
max_color_temp_kelvin: 6535

Any links to documentation are appreciated.
