If I ask Alexa to turn off my lamp, it changes from 254 to Off.
If I ask it to turn on my lamp, Off to 254.
All is well.
If an HS event triggers that turns off the lamp, 254 to Off.
If I then ask Alexa to turn on my lamp, Off to 1.
I then must say "Alexa set lamp to 100%".
This only happens after the lamp is shut off by an HS event.
Process of elimination:
-It can't be Alexa, it's just asking the bulb to come on at last level.
-Hue bridge thinks the last level it was set at was 1 when it is shut off by an HS event. (No tricks in the event, just set device off.)
-Hue bridge thinks the last level it was set at was 254 when it is shut off by Alexa.
So either:
a. HS is doing this and you have no control over it, or
b. There is maybe an opportunity to stop this?
Since Alexa can turn the bulb all the way off and have last level be remembered as 254, it is possible to do. It can also remember any other dimmed level.
Since your plugin is the code talking to the Hue Bridge, I'm hoping this is something you control and might be able to change.
