Need help with TLSR82xx by AwoX lamps - They don't turn off properly anymore

Configuration Zigbee

Hi folks,

I have two TLSR82xx by AwoX bulbs connected via ZHA. They are controlled with two different IKEA remotes:

I noticed an odd behavior a couple of weeks ago, after going on a firmware update spree. When I try to turn the lights off with the remotes, they don’t really turn off. They appear to reach minimum brightness and stay there, even though HA sees them as turned off.
When I control them from the HA app or web interface they turn off as expected.

Before you judge me, I know. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In my defense, one of these bulbs had the bad habit of becoming unresponsive, and I hoped a firmware update might fix things. It appears to have worked, as I haven’t had that issue yet in a while. But I traded it in for another one. :smiley:

I tinkered with the blueprint a bit, thinking the issue might be somewhere there, but that does not seem to be the case. I had a hunch it had to do with the transition. But setting the transition to 0 didn’t seem to help.
I was getting a bit fed up, but then… I found out about the dev tools. dramatic music

If I go to Settings> Dev Tools > Actions and tinker a bit with either light.turn_off or light.toggle, I notice the following:

  • With transition not defined nor added to data, the lights turn on ad off as expected, but they appear to have a built-in transition to them.
  • With transition set to any value (zero included), the light does not turn off properly
  • With transition set to any value and the light completely off, triggering light.turn_off makes the light turn on slightly. Funny enough, the activity log doesn’t show anything and for what HA is concerned, the light is still off.

Sure enough, if I remove the transition property from the blueprints, the issue disappears.
I guess I could solve my problem by updating the blueprints and removing the transition property, or ask the maintainer of the blueprints to add a toggle. But maybe someone out there has a better idea.

Cheers,
