Hi …
Problem:
When I run my scene only 2/3 of the zigbee lights change - hitting the scene 1 or 2 more times, they all eventually changes… Same when I add all the lights into a group - need to turn the group off 2-3 times before all ligths are out. Turning on seems to do a better job… Not fast, all but 1-2 are on immediately and then the last 1-2-3 within 1-2 seconds.
Is there a trick for using scenes and zigbee ?
At bit more detail.
I have setup 10 zigbee (Ikea) lights in my front yard (from the street to the house), using a conbee II, and it works fine. I can control each light (on/off, change colors, brightness). I have created a small Christmas lightning (thanks for all the support here at the site - and steeling code snippets), so the lights changes colors (red and green) and brightness. Works very nice. All so good.
Next step - to add motion sensors and turn on some ‘white light’. I have managed to get 3 motion sensors (Ikea - would think I’m from Sweeden, but no…) working with timer, so the Christmas lights stops, and … then the idear was to enable a scene, that sets all lights to white. But adding this ‘call for scene’ only sets some of the lights.
Same behavior when just running the scene, or running it from development. running the scene 2-3 times in row, changes all (and yes - the Christmas automation is off).
My work around in the motion automation, is to stop the Christmas lights, and then call the scene 3 times … which most of the times gets the job done… but not the right solution.
So, I can image that it has something to do with the changing 10 lights at ones on the zigbee protocol is to much. And maybe the solution is in steed of using a scene, then do the change to white within the automation (and maybe add some wait) to slow it down.
But what is the right way to use scenes and zigbee ?
