That’s the best solution I found too.
Set lights on Hue app to 1% neutral color, but still the problem is that AL first change brightness and color after.
If it was possible to change first color and after brightness it would be better.
Lots of good info in this thread.
I’m finding that my lights are constantly getting set to manual control even though I’m not changing anything. How can I diagnose this issue?
I’m running a different instance of AL for each room and I’ve listed each of the lights individually by their z2m entity. The bulbs are Hue bulbs but I removed all the lights from my hub.
Anyone have any ideas? It’s driving me nuts.
Are you sure they’re going into manual and they’re not just set to adapt once? I just forced manual mode in mine and it doesn’t show up in the history or logbook (because it’s not it’s own entity). So I’m not sure how you’d validate if/when it’s switching to manual mode; however, you can force manual mode on/off with dev tools:
service: adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control
data:
manual_control: true
entity_id: switch.adaptive_lighting_kitchen_house_lights
If you paste the AL config screenshot, I can look to see if I see anything in your AL config. Here’s mine and the settings I’m wondering about:
If you’re sure thats all right, the next step would be to start monitoring it which means setup something on your dashboard that shows/tracks the switches and then cross reference the times to see if any of the AL switches are being changed by some other process. A histogram and a button will do this (I have the same thing).

Check the main switch attributes as it shows if manual control is active or not.
After I manually change the brightness it shows this:
This seems like a helpful thread. Here’s my issue…
AL seems to work well to slowly dim the lights in the evening/night. However, when I go to turn lights on at 6am, it turns them on at full brightness. Please help, this is killing me slowly. 
I’ve just gotten into the HA ecosystem and trying to setup Adaptive Lights for all the Philips Wiz lights that I use. But it doesn’t work in my Dining Room and Kitchen.
The setup was fairly straight-forward for most of my lighting and it’s working perfectly.
Although, this is before I came across the “Blueprints” construct in HA. Most of my control are through turn_on + turn_off commands from IKEA Styrbar switches setup through automations.
But in the Dining Room and Kitchen, I’m using an IKEA Rodret 2 Button switch. The “On” button is used to toggle Dining Room Lights and the “Off” button is used to toggle Kitchen Lights.
I am not able to get Adaptive lighting to work here. Both in the dining room and in the Kitchen. I read through the configure options which made it seem like AL would take over only for explicit turn_on events and realised I have toggle events instead. So I tried to add an explicit action that enabled switch.adaptive_lighting_adapt_color_kitchen. Note: I only want the colour to adapt in the kitchen and not the brightness. I have gone ahead and disabled the Kitchen AL Brightness entity.
This is my automation:

Should I convert the toggle events to a conditional statement that triggers a light.turn_on or light.turn_off based on existing state?
