Still New - Simple Automation - I am having issues with HUE lights, not going to the set desire of lighting colour and or level of the bulb. I am using the Simple Automation at a set time (Sunset). Not ALL bulbs are responding or are doing what they are suppose too. IS there away to keep re-triggering the automation, until they all actually change colour, and level of intensity? Thank you all in advance for your inputs, and taking time to read.
So I have setup a repeat of Simple Automations (5 repeats), to do the same operation of to turn on lights, and set colour and levels, after 1 minute, I will see if this works tonight. If anyone has any things that have worked, as a re-trigger, it would be appreciated. Thank you
Are these Hue Bridge bulbs or directly paired bulbs? Either way, you're likely to have problems controlling that many at the exact same time. Hue recommends limiting bulb commands on the Bridge to ten per second. Hubitat has no specific recommendation, but in my experience, controlling more than a few Zigbee bulbs individually leads to problems where not all bulbs respond to all commands.
The solution in either case is to use a group. If these are Bridge bulbs, create either a room or zone in the Hue app (or maybe a LightScene in a third party app), assuming these bulbs don't already belong to one. Then, import that group into Hubitat and use it here instead. If these are directly paired Zigbee bulbs, try creating a group using the Groups and Scenes app on Hubitat, and consider checking the "Enable Zigbee group messaging" box there, as that is likely to help.
Either of the above should work better in either case compared to controlling this many bulbs individually at the same time. As an alternative, your luck is likely to be better if you stick to a few bulbs at a time and put a small delay in between, for which you'd need either Rule Machine or multiple SAR apps (with different times).

Thank you so much for your help, I will try that tonight. They are ALL Hue lights, as I have over 70 Hue lights. Two Hue hubs, running them all.
