Room Lighting vs Hue Automation

[JB10]

What is your overall goal with Room Lighting and the Hue automation? I also run overlay automation in Hubitat with some also on the Hue Bridge.

I had a problem where they'd turn on but just white, not the color I had set in the Hue Automation. I resolved that by changing them from CT to RGB in Room Lighting.

To fix this, change the type to Switch rather than CT or RGB. This way, Room Lighting will just turn the Hue Zone "on", which should just take them back to their previous state.

But the other problem is when the Hue scene has turned them on, if I go into the Hue app and turn them off, the smart switches don't work right. I have to click the smart switch off then on again. I think it's because Room Lighting isn't recognizing that Hue turned them off?

What type of switch are you using? Does it have a Smart Bulb Mode? This current Room Lighting instance does not turn off the switch when Room Lighting turns off. To solve this, you will most likely need to create an automation that turns of the switch when the Hue Zone turns off. When I have switches like this, I use [RELEASE] Switch Bindings 2.0 to mirror my Hue Groups/Zones with Smart Switches.
