I've recently added some Sengled Element Plus bulbs on a circuit with a dumb timer (that cannot be changed). When the circuit powers on I'd like the bulbs to come back to their previous state (which is: ON, level=75%, COLOR=red)
Is this directly possible? I could setup a dumb rule to just constantly hammer on "set device =red @ 75%" and have the rule run every 5 minutes or whatever, but that would be inelegant, so I'm looking for a more direct solution, "remember last state when powering on" or similar.
Can you use the smarter bulbs power outage app (search HPM) to control this automation? set one of the bulbs as the canary and make the rule for all of the bulbs?
I'm just throwing an idea out, I havent actually checked whether this functions or not, but I'd try it.
I do not have an Element Plus bulb, but on the Element Classic I am using on the back deck, if switch it off at the wall, the bulb's switch status changes to off referenced hubitat device. Switch back on at the wall and the switch status changed to on. That being the case, I would try to trigger off the bulb device switch status then send your configuration to it.
Great idea! I’ve never seen that app before but it looks like a good fit. I have to see about tricking the source devices properly given this bulb isn’t on the list (it probably doesn’t use bulbs to test for power, for obvious reasons). This bulb is the only thing on the relevant circuit so I can’t proxy off other devices.
