Wondering if someone can help me understand some odd behavior with 2 ZHA lights and hopefully find a solution.
I’ve got some Hue lights that are returning to an on state after being turned off. The lights will turn off, but after some short time will begin to turn back on. The lights are connected directly via ZHA, not the Hue Hub. I also have the lights grouped together through a ZHA Zigbee group (not Home Assistant Light Group) and the group is bound to an Inovelli Blue 2-1 switch.
I’ve been having a hard time reproducing the issue myself by turning the group on/off and/or toggling the Inovelli switch, it really only seems to happen when my automation calls a light.turn_off action on the switch. But, it also doesn’t happen every time - I’d say it works correctly (lights turn off and stay off) ~85% of the time.
I use a TubesZB MG24-2024 PoE coordinator (Firmware: 7.4.3.0, Zigbee Channel 25, Wifi Channel 1/6). I’ve got 130+ devices on my Zigbee network, mostly a mix of Hue bulbs, ThirdReality Plugs and Inovelli 2-1 Dimmers. I’ve got some Aqara routers that are near the lights (Pet Feeder C1’s) too.
I’ve had similar issues in the past and I recall, when I looked into this previously, reading that older Hue bulbs (the ones without Bluetooth) had issues reporting their state back to the coordinator. I can’t remember where I read that and haven’t found it again so maybe that’s not true. But, I had success replacing older, non-Bluetooth Hue with newer Bluetooth bulbs and having success in the past. These 2 new problem lights are both Bluetooth enabled and I’ve updated their firmware to the latest with the Hue app via Bluetooth. The problem lights show as model LCX004 and LTA012 in ZHA.
I’ve tried to remove/re-pair the lights, reconfigure them through ZHA, delete/recreate the ZHA group and re-bind to the switch - none of these steps made a difference.
I’ll also add that I have Adaptive Lighting configured for these lights. It seems like that might exacerbate the issue, but not cause it. AL seems to catch that the lights aren’t staying in an off state, they should stay off when the switch is turned off.
Ultimately, it’s a pretty minor annoyance, and I could likely create an automation that could work around it, but none of my other ZHA light groups bound to switches behave like this, so I’d ideally like to sort out what’s going on with these 2 lights specifically.
Anyone experience something like like? Or know what I can do to stop this behavior?
Let me know if there’s any other info I can provide!
