MQTT: Invalid color mode 'xy' received for entity light.xxx

jchh · March 12, 2025, 8:48am

I’ve been getting 100s of these errors since (I tink) 2025.3.0.

I can see posts from 2021, but it’s new to me and I couldn’t find a solution.

I’m running. HA container with Z2M. Z2M is showing no errors and the lights do have "color_mode": "xy".

Does anyone else see this problem and know the cause/fix?

Thanks!

Not since I updated z2m. There were two recent releases to fix this.

jchh · March 12, 2025, 9:01am

Thanks for that. I’m on:

HA Core v2025.3.2
Z2M v2.1.3

Is the problem in HA or Z2M (where do I report this)?

tom_l · March 12, 2025, 9:04am

2.1.3-1 is the latest version.

jchh · March 12, 2025, 9:15am

huh., thanks.

docker compose pull is not pulling anything new and Z2M reports 2.1.3. It updated just a day or 2 ago.

This is what I have…

Maybe this will help someone. I found a workaround to eliminate the error messages and posted it here:
