Problem toggling scenes

Configuration
,
1

Hi everyone,

I have a weird issue with triggering a scene.
Recently I bought a few new Zigbee GU10 bulbs, nothing special and simulair to the other Zigbee bulbs I have arount the house.

In my HA I have configured scenes that I trigger with buttons on my Dashboard. Only the scenes regarding those new lights in the kitchen are not responding the same way all of the other lights in the house respond.

It seems that when I press the button that toggles the scene, it toggles the right scene but with the wrong intensity. Every time when I press the button it seems like it adds 10% of intensity. What means to turn on my Scene I end up pressing the button for about 8/10 times…

The ‘off’ scene triggers as expected and works right away.

Hope someone knows how to fix my problem :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Can you post the automation yaml and the scene yaml? That will help in trying to figure it out.

Ofcourse no problem

To toggle the scene

 - service: scene.turn_on
    metadata: {}
    target:
      entity_id: scene.keuken_normaal

Scene yaml

- id: '1711220693773'
  name: Keuken | normaal
  entities:
    light.keuken_plafondspot:
      min_color_temp_kelvin: 2202
      max_color_temp_kelvin: 4000
      min_mireds: 250
      max_mireds: 454
      supported_color_modes:
      - color_temp
      icon: mdi:lightbulb-group
      friendly_name: Keuken | Plafondspot
      supported_features: 40
      color_mode: color_temp
      brightness: 254
      color_temp_kelvin: 3344
      color_temp: 299

      - 131
      xy_color:

      - 0.377
      entity_id:

      - light.keuken_plafondspot_5_light_5
      state: 'on'
  icon: mdi:lightbulb
  metadata:

Is that correct? That’s full brightness.

Also, what does the rest of your automation look like? Post the full yaml please. I have a suspicion of what might be going on.

Yes that is brightness is correct. There is no automation going on. It is a button card in my dashboard what triggers the scene. It literary only does scene.turn_on on the scene.

Sorry about the late reply… dropped off my radar… :frowning:

:thinking: So, you just push a button that calls the scene.turn_on service? It makes no sense that it would affect your brightness levels.

The only thing I can think of would be to delete the kitchen scene and recreate it (even dropping down to yaml code if you have to). I have 116 scenes and I have never seen an issue like this. But, I did notice in your yaml that there’s a lot defined light.keuken_plafondspot: that might not need to be there (min_color_temp_kelvin, etc). Typically when I build a scene, I remove all the cruft except for the stuff that is actually changing.

No worries! Thanks for your reply :slight_smile:

Yup exactly that. It makes no sense to me either… I feel like I tried everything…

I already have tried recreating the scenes, same problem occurs.
Feel like the same thing is happening to other scenes aswell.

Also occurs when I make the same adjustments in an automation.

Very strange… ok, let’s try something here. Can you create this scene and see what happens? Save it into your scenes.yaml directly and then reload your scenes from Developer Tools > Yaml and click on the Scenes button near the bottom of the page. Then in Developer Tools > Services, choose the scene.turn_on and see what happens.

- id: test_scene
  name: Test Scene
  entities:
    - light.keuken_plafondspot_1_light:
      state: true
      brightness: 254
    - light.keuken_plafondspot_2_light_3:
      state: true
      brightness: 254
    - light.keuken_plafondspot_3_light_4:
      state: true
      brightness: 254
    - light.keuken_plafondspot_4_light_2:
      state: true
      brightness: 254
    - light.keuken_plafondspot_5_light_5:
      state: true
      brightness: 254
