Hi guys,
I have HAOS installed in Virtualbox on and old 2009 Always ON Imac
Running Home Assistant OS 13.2.
Conbee11
I’ve had problems with this before and alway thought this was a poor Wi-Fi signal, but now I don’t know if this is a sketch issue, a Wi Fi issue (currently ay 83dbm), or something else?
Okay, I reverted back to my original setup which I’ll document below. This problem has only recently been found as I only really use these LEDs during the darker winter months.
I gone back and read through all the updates for 2024, butt still can’t find whats causing my problem. I’m sure I’ve overlooked something.
What should happen is when motion is detected by the Aqara motion sensor, the kitchen LEDs which are normally on a slow rainbow effect change to full brightness CW, then when no motion is detected revert back from a snapshot to their original state/colour and effect.
What is happening is, motion is detected, the LEDs change to full CW brightness, but when the snapshot is reloaded the LEDs revert back to a red light and no effect.
I’ve attempted and changed many things in an attempt to fix this but had no luck in doing so. I’ve also tried rewriting the automations and scene, due to the updates to automations and scenes over the last year possibly breaking the setup, but his ended up with the automation not working at-all. The LEDs wouldn’t change to full CW when motion was detected for example.
It seems to me that the LED “effect” with ESPHome isn’t being collected or reused with the snapshot?
Does anyone have any ideas what’s going on?
I’d be really grateful for some advice as I’m completely stumped.
