Option "flash":"short" for hue lights does not work anymore

Configuration Zigbee
1

The option in automation to let the light flashing, short or long does work anymore.
I use Philips hue color lights and it did work but after last update it does not flash any more it only goes on.

Update

The light flashing problem is not completly solved in version 2021.12.2
It is blinking but there is no difference between long or short ({“flash”:“short”}).
After the blinking it stays on and does not return to the starting state (on or off)

Hue removed effects from the API. The only one they offer is through a debug path, which is a long flash if I remember correctly.

I don’t think so because it happened right after the first December update (2021.12.1)
And it’s not only the flash, also all brightness options are gone.

If it is hue then ther is probaly a new hue library in the december release.

And if I take a look with the develop tool options i see:
min_mireds: 153
max_mireds: 500
supported_color_modes:

  • color_temp
  • xy
    mode: normal
    dynamics: none
    friendly_name: Computerlamp
    supported_features: 40

So I think they maybe still there (supported_features: 40) but not visible under same name.

There is, it’s listed in the breaking changes.

Added in 2021.12

First of all thanks for your answer.

Do you think these features will come back in HA for the v2 bridge or can you not say this yet.

That’s up to Hue, not HA. They create the api, we (HA) use it.
