Hey all, hoping I can gain some insight into an issue I’m having with my sengled lightbulbs. Basically I have two scenes set up in HAS, one “default” scene that has all the lights at 100% brightness with soft white and another that is for movies that turns off all the light except two and modifies the color value to be a more orange, and lower brightness.

My issue is when trying to set the default scene, the color values of my pair of lights don’t seem to keep the color temperature. The color picker will immediately clear any value I set after 2 seconds, and go back to the previous scene’s brightness and color. I can usually go into the sengled app to reset the color to what I want but this is far from ideal.

It’s important to note that I’m using the unofficial sengled api addon from HACS and I am not using the zigbee versions of the lightbulbs (I don’t have a zigbee-compatible usb stick yet).

Is this an api limitation or something else I’m missing? Would the zigbee versions work better than the WiFi ones? My router is practically right next to the light bulbs so I doubt that’s the issue.

    Avoid Sengled. I switched to Innr Zigbee bulbs for repeater functionality & they’re better than the Sengleds in every way (except price, like $25/bulb but it’s worth it)
