Scenes not properly saving color state

Where is the editor?

Edit: Actually just ran an update on my container in unRAID and things seem to be working again after an update on my end.

To give you something on top:

I have an automation where a light scene is being generated dynamically as soon as someone hits the main door ring bell.
This scene is taking a snapshot of the Hue light bulbs current state. After the scene is being created, the lights start to blink by using the “breathe” effect. After blinking the lights should get into their previous state at the moment when the snapshot was taken.

The idea behind this is that the Hue lights should singalize optically whenever someone is ringing the main door bell because there are some areas in our house where you just cannot hear the main door ring bell.

The automation works but the limitation here is that when the scene is being activated the color and brightness do not match the previous state, which is driving me crazy since months now.

Any ideas on how to solve/workaround this issue are more than welcome.

Yup… I have also been encountering this issue… it does seem like a pretty big bug… and it’s not specific to Hue like the issue keeps pointing at.

Had the same issue and now works once I’ve installed the latest updates.
