I suspect this started around the 2025.11.x updates, or a zigbee2mqtt update.
I have a few automations that turn on a few lights outside (when door opens or cameras detect persons). Been working fine for ages but noticed they were not working a week ago. Not exactly sure when stopped. I have two zigbee and two wifi bulbs out there (wifi turn on/off fine). I have these also on my dashboard in HA and they are instantly on/off with the dash that does a toggle.
The automations however are a turn on (and that stopped working). When the automation runs, They think they are on (as in they glow on the dash). And the turn on and off from the zigbee2mqtt addon also makes them work.
For now, I have replaced the turn on commands the automation with a toggle.
These devices (as reported by zigbee2mqtt) are Tuya CK-BL702-AL-01.
