Zooz Zen 27 switch turns off with manual control disabled

I have multiple zooz zen 27 switches that are connected to Sylvania Smart+ bulbs. I have the switch set up with manual control disabled and am using the switch as a scene controller to turn on groups of lights. My issue is that if I experience a lose in power when it is restored the button controllers do not work until I go into hubitat and select the on button with each zooz device. Has anyone else had this problem and is there anything else I can do to fix this problem. Should I let the switch physically control the lights or is there a way to keep them as scene controllers with manual control disabled and not have this issue when power is lost. Thanks in advance

I personally don't use the "smart bulb" modes but I do know a couple of firmware updates have fixed issues with things like this. What firmware are you on? Zooz just sent me a brand new firmware version to try (3.04) as well which they said fixed some bugs with the smart bulb modes. Not totally sure if it is public yet. I would send them a ticket with the issue and ask for the newest firmware.

It does sound like what you are trying to do is the correct intention and should work.

Once you get on the newest firmware if it is still having issues post a screenshot of your config values (might be in different places depending on the driver).

I can confirm that later Zooz firmware releases fix the issue with physical switch state when used in Smart Bulb Mode, aka manual control disabled. I have multiple Hue smart bulbs running on Zen27 dimmers in smart bulb mode... The physical paddles on the dimmers are used as button controllers, and the underlying physical switch is always on. I have firmware version 3.01 running on these dimmers, and they always restore to the correct state following a power outage event. We've had at least 4 outages this winter/spring, and power is always restored to my smart bulbs once the power company gets us restored.
