Hey, New user here trying to get some rules defined, and never done it in this detailed before. Here's what I got and what I'd like to happen. My area experiences a lot of power surges, when power comes on, all my lights turn on, to 100%, not even at last used dimmed level. I'd like to be notifi…

Is your hub on a UPS? If your not using a UPS you could use systemstart under location in rule machine as trigger to turn off the lights.

Just off the top of my head, if you had a rule that said (not actual code here) IF bulbs A,B,C,X,Y,Z ALL on 100% THEN notify eilatan99 via text. You could even add a "turn off" line in there so that would be handled automatically. The other way that you might consider, if it is more of an outage…

My bulbs are hue white and GE. Some I never use 100, but I can live with the fact that they come back at 100 cause I can tell alexa to lower or use the app. No I don't have a UPS at the moment. I know. These surges affect the whole house are are usually 1-2 seconds long. But we do lose power fo…

Thanks for the link. I had a UPS several years ago, just kinda died and never replaced it. Got the UPS ordered. Points paid $41 worth. Yea!
