java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'current' on null object (parse)

Anyone else been seeing this error in their logs for Zigbee bulbs (I am seeing it for various Hue downlights and bulbs)? I see this error in the logs when I initiate the bulb to turn on, mostly using the motion lighting app to activate a scene involving the bulb. I may have seen it go away temporarily last night when I refreshed / saved the device, would have to go through those steps again to be 100% sure...

Not sure if it could be related to me switching to the new Advanced Zigbee CT Bulb driver, I don't think it occurred when I made that switch....

You need to run the configure command after switching drivers.

Thanks Mike. I'm pretty sure I had done that, both when I switched drivers after the last release, and I thought I even did that last night as well, but can't say for sure, so some more testing is in order for me.

I'll work through the bulbs more methodically this time, running the configure command and trying to turn them on/off shortly after, plus testing on/off sometime later as well as on/off after a reboot, just to rule out any other contributing factors.

You were spot on @mike.maxwell, saw an immediate change, i.e. no errors in the logs after I ran through the configure command on each bulb and then adjusted scenes, etc, including this same expected behaviour after a hub reboot. Thanks again for helping out with this.

Two very minor things I noticed, the first one would be nice if it could be fixed....

When I ran the configure command the description text logging preference appears to be turned on, even though I had previously had it switched off (I had these bulbs configured using the old dev version of the Zigbee CT driver and moved them to the new Advanced driver). Not a major issue, just and inconvenience, but would be nice if this setting remained as I had it configured already.

The even less important one was that when running the configure command some of my rgb Hue bulbs turned blue. More just an FYI for you guys, obviously once I activated scenes, etc, everything goes back to normal and it doesn't have any ongoing impact. Not really worth any effort to fix I would think...

The advanced drivers run a test routine, which includes changing colors ect.
