Hi There,
I have a few Hue's setup around the house and have tried to use 'Recover light settings after being unreachable' under the settings for each bulb.
I have noticed that it is a bit slow to recover the settings, which if its only recovering settings would be fine but I have an event setup so that it dims the lights when turned on if the house is in sleep mode.
This event triggers almost instantly when the light is turned on and dims the light, after about 2 or 3 seconds the light then flickers and does the Recovery effectively cancelling out the event, it also only happens at random to some bulbs but not others.
My Event is basically
If bulb has been unreachable for x amount of time
and house is in sleep mode
then JowiHue Actions Set Lights group to preset with brightness of x
To get around this I have tried disabling the recover light settings and created an event to handle when the house isn't in away mode that uses JowiHue Actions -> Set Scene -> Last On State but this seems to be for something else as nothing happens.
Is there a way to create an event which handles restoring the lights previous settings after being unreachable instead of having it in the bulbs settings such as below, this way we can control whether it restores the old settings or not and it will be faster to respond.
If bulb has been unreachable for x amount of time
and the bulb is now on
then JowiHue Set Lights group to previous settings
Or something along those lines, even if I have to tell each bulb to recover settings thats fine, just after a way to do it. I understand that this is a bit of a workaround to make up for the fact the hue doesnt do this natively which it why it would be so nice to have
Thanks in advance, hope there is something that can be done.
