Hi,
Is there a way of stopping the colorloop effect on the hue lights without turning off the light?
I basically want to go from a light which is in colorloop to a normal light… but when I do this is just sets the correct brightness of the new setting, but keeps looping. I’ve tried various versions of “effect” : “none” / “off” / “false”
Good find! So if I change the brightness of the entire group (its a hue group), the colour loop keeps going. But if I change the brightness of a single light that light stops colour looping. Bit of a fiddly one to integrate into an automation (I’m using nodered for this)… but at least its a solution. Thanks!!
So I’ve been playing around over the years. What I have come to do is this.
I have a couple groups of lights that I want to loop. For me it’s usually all downstairs, or some of downstairs.
Basically,
create a snapshot/scene of my lights before colorloop.
Then set a random color on all lights (I found that sometimes a light or two would not “join in” on the looping, but setting a color first has been 100% successful.
then start the color loop.
light.all_downstairs_color_lights is a light group
Basically the opposite. Turn off the lights, set a default color, then restore the previous scene. (then set the scene again, just for safe measures)
This for me has worked flawless. It was a bit to set up the first time, but now I dont think much about it at all
