Wim;
I hope I can explain this clearly. As I have written in another post, I am changing my driveway path lights out from LED strips controlled by 4 Dresden RGBWW controllers to 12 individual Hue bulbs. The work is done, the bulbs are included and identified. All 12 are in a single group. The 4 Dresden controllers were also in a single group.
I am now building animations to replace the few I had with the old controllers.
I am finding a new behavior, that was not present on the old animations. On the old as well as the new I have a single option selected "Return to original settings after animation ends"
It all worked at Halloween. I am running 2.0.2.8, at Halloween I was running 2.0.2.7. On the new animations, they will not run at all, either manually or from an event. If I deselect that box the animations will run both manually or from an Event, but when they are stopped, the lights are left in whatever color and intensity they were when the animation was stopped. At halloween, I could stop the animation and they would return to where they were.
The new bulbs have all been updated to the newest firmware and otherwise are working well. The animations also work as long as that option is not selected.
On another possibly unrelated item the "Continue after other HUE command" checkbox will not stick. I click on it and a checkmark shows and immediately disappears.
Did something in the plug-in change.
On an unrelated topic, is there any way I can vary the brightness of an animation, or must it be hard coded into the scenes? I would like to be able to start them at full brightness and reduce the brightness later in the evening. I thought of using a replacement variable or even writing the values with a script if a plug-in function is available to do so.
