Z2M group doesn't switch off

Hello everyone,

I’m having issues with a Zigbee2Mqtt group not truning off. It does turn on, but nothing happens when I ask it to turn off.

Here is the configuration on Z2M side:

groups:
  '1':
    friendly_name: kitchen_sink
    retain: false
    transition: 0
    optimistic: true
    devices:
      - '0x00124b00226d5610'
      - '0x00124b00226d5a1c'

Here is the configuration on HA side:

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    schema: json
    name: Evier Cuisine
    command_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/kitchen_sink/set"
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/kitchen_sink"
    color_temp: true
    brightness: true
    rgb: true

When I trigger the switch on, the logs on Z2M show this :

Zigbee2MQTT:info  2021-02-13 23:26:23: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/0x00124b00226d5610', payload '{"brightness":254,"color":{"x":0.313059507478705,"y":0.323172994053855},"color_temp":153,"linkquality":89,"state":"ON"}'

When I switch it off it’s identical (except the state obviously) but the bulbs remains physically ON.

Has anybody experienced that or played with it?
Thanks in advance if anyone wants to pitch in

If anybody is wondering why I’m playing with Z2M groups instead of using a HA group. I’ve noticed that using an HA group actually switches on/off one bulb at a time, instead of both of them simultaneously.

It’s not the worst behavior, but I would prefer simultaneous behavior, which Z2M group provides (if it ever wants to :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: switch off when I ask it to)

I use Z2M groups, too. Mostly because of your mentioned „popcorn“ effect when using HA groups.

I do not notice this behavior, but I do have less configuration attributes in my Z2M groups, just friendly_name and list of devices. Maybe one of this attributes is causing the issue?

For crying out loud…

Thanks a lot @m0wlheld that worked out. Funny enough, the “extra” options I used are supposed to be the default values it uses…

Anyway thanks for remind me to try the easy steps before posting…
