Wiz Plantgrowth no longer available

After upgrading to Home Assistant 2025.5.1 I am no longer able to activate the Plantgrowth. Here is a snippet from my automation which used to work:

                data:
                  sequence:
                    - action: light.turn_on
                      metadata: {}
                      data:
                        brightness_pct: 100
                        effect: Plantgrowth
                      target:
                        entity_id: light.foyer_chandelier_light_group
                      enabled: true

I now get an error that Plantgrowth is not on the list

In the Developer tools on one of these bulbs here is the list according to Home Assistant…

effect_list: Alarm, Bedtime, Candlelight, Christmas, Cozy, Cool white, Daylight, Diwali, Deep dive, Fall, Fireplace, Forest, Focus, Golden white, Halloween, Jungle, Mojito, Night light, Ocean, Party, Pulse, Pastel colors, Romance, Relax, Sunset, Spring, Summer, Steampunk, True colors, TV time, White, Wake-up, Warm white, Rhythm

Does anyone have a fix/workaround?

Plant growth (with a space, noted) still shows in the mobile app.

Out of curiosity I installed openHAB.

I wanted to see if it could do the built in Wiz Plantgrowth. Spoiler: It can!

It was an easy install but it took a while to figure out how to add and control something.

openHAB is able to put a bulb into Plant Growth which it calls a Light Mode.

Home Assistant is still around and they all co-exist.

Now I’m wondering if I put all the Wiz lights into openHAB and figure out how to have Home Assistant call openHAB as needed.

Ugh. I guess I just wanted to prove to myself that nothing is broken on the Wiz side.

I found this in the 2025.5 full release log, a change made by @Sbidy has perhaps caused this.

It seems like Plant growth was lost here when doing the Ordered by name thing

Can it be added back?

Hello VPC,

You are convincing yourself it is an actual bug. I don’t know if this is or is not the case, but if you believe it is, put an issue in. It will be unlikely to be seen here.
