The motion sensor detects motion, the light shows on in the app, but it doesn’t physically turn on the light.
The light is a Zigbee Sengled Color Changing A19 bulb set to low red. The RSSI is -68di and the LQI is 255. There is a repeater GE light about 3 feet away from it that should be giving it a good signal.
Can’t figure out whey its not physically turning on the light.
Please export the flow to the clipboard and then paste it in here.

Let me know if you need it a different way or something different

Are you sure it is not turning on?
You might just not be able to see it with a brightness of just 1.
Ya, very positive 
It says its on in the app, but the physical light just doesn’t turn on
brightness of just one might not be able to be seen, let alone be shown be the light bulb.
I think my Hue bulbs can handle 1%, but I have had other brands that where just not turning on before 3-5% where reached.
Try setting it to something like 50% just to check it.
I’ll give that a shot. What is strange is that if I manually turn it off and then back on, it shows up at 1% so I really don’t think thats it. Its like for whatever reason the atuomation calls it on, the app thinks that its on, but its not physically on.
I figured out my issue I think. I needed to have “brightness_pct” in the code instead of just brightness
At least in my testing that works, so I’ll mark solved for now and come back and change it if it doesn’t work in the specified time window.
If it works, then use it.
