[2.3.3.130] Problem with Capture/Restore

@support
I have a few rules that set color bulbs as a notification. I recently noticed that the restore feature was no longer adjusting to previous color mode. For example, bulb is in CT mode at 3000k and turned off; rule runs and sets the bulb to blue, waits for an event, the restores; the bulb will just turn off without the color mode adjusting. So, I set up a pretty basic RM flow using a virtual switch in the wait for event.

The Rule

The Logs

Restore should go back to CT and does not.


Just changing the color back doesn't work either. This should have just changed the color back to green.

It appears from your logs that the light is off at the time of capture, since it turns it off when restored. So what is it that you expect to happen? It can't set the colorMode to CT when it turns it off, only by setting a colorTemperature.

There is no setColorMode command.

I would expect it to restore the full state of the device from the capture.

It's not possible if the device is off to begin with. As I said, there is no setColorMode command. All it can/should do is turn the device off. Otherwise, what you'd get would be a flash of white then off. Is that really what anyone would expect from restore? I think you'd be unhappy with that.

In this case, I wouldn't mind the brief blip of white...the light is on already anyhow. Somehow I was sure this worked before with two different rules, but that was with some Tuya integrated bulbs. Guess I'll just work around it with some additional actions.
