"Enable discrete on for activation" -- Scenes 1.2 -- what does this do?

I'm having a problem scene where one of the RGBW bulbs being controlled will turn on, set the color temp, but not the brightness. This is repeatable with every occurrence. I've tried enabling/disabling activation optimization, but this hasn't helped. There's another toggle called "enable discrete on for activation." Can anyone tell me what this one does?

That’s a new feature, that will cause the Scene to send an ON() command to any devices in the scene that are currently off when the scene is activated.

Most devices will automatically turn on when their Level or Color is set to a new value. For those that do not, this new feature should help.

Interesting. The device was indeed turning on from an off state, and accepting the CT value, but the level was getting lost somewhere. Toggling this feature on has remedied that problem in my initial testing, so that's good!
