Manual overruling not working anymore

[rbovenkampclearict]

Version information:

Latest version. It did work a few versions before but I don’t remember that version number

Description:

Manual overrule by dimming a light with a button doesn’t work. The brightness is set to the the adaptive light level after a few seconds / minutes.

I reinstalled the adaptive lightning script but unfortunately it still doesn’t work.

Can you what the last version is that it worked for you?

That will help me tremendously in finding the bug.

[rbovenkampclearict]

Unfortunately I can’t remember the version number but I installed it 2 weeks ago. And I’m quite sure that that was the last version at that time. It than works for a week or so, and a few days ago I saw there were some updates which i installed. At that time it doesn’t work anymore.

[rbovenkampclearict]

Can I checks some logs to confirm this?

[basnijholt]

You can use HACS to install older versions and figure out where the problems don't occur anymore.

@basnijholt I installed Adaptive Lighting a few days ago and experienced the same issue. In my case, I set take_over_control: false and created a custom automation that calls adaptive_lighting.set_manual_control if certain criteria are met. I stumbled upon this issue when researching for issues that are related to mine. Could this (in my case) be caused by the combination of disabling take_over_control and then wanting to call set_manual_control anyway?

I also have this issue. .17 and latest. Had to completely remove the integration for now as any light turned off by the physical switch comes back on after 20 seconds.
It could've equally been caused by an update to HA

Also having the same issues. Have noticed that if I uncheck the min/max/sleep brightness checkboxes in the configuration and click submit, the next time I open Configure they're checked again. Even with the Adapt Brightness switches turned off, the brightness still seems to get adjusted.

[basnijholt]

If anyone can pinpoint which version does not exhibit this problem, it will allow me to fix the bug.

[fpschrisiom]

1.0.15 definitely worked fine, I think I may have used .16 at release but can't be certain.
.17 onwards has the issue for me as I tried to rollback to the earliest hacs would allow via gui which was .17

Ok, so I have Adaptive Lighting 1.1.0

It sets to control a light group and I change the brightness of this group with a remote directly bound to a group. take_over_control is on and I tried with and without detect_non_ha_changes. Most of the time I change the brightness with a remote - manual_control of a responsive switch stays empty. Even when the change is significant.

manual_control was enabled only once during my experiments and I was not able to determine why.

No errors or warnings in HA log.

@basnijholt, please, let me know if you need some more information.

v1.1.1

for me it appears both manually changing lights and even manually setting manual_control=true doesn't work as expected and the lights switch back to adaptive after a few seconds

nevermind, setting manual_control works as expected, I made a mistake in my automation. It still ignores manual changes to lights though and goes back to adaptive.

I'm pretty sure in my case it is this issue #304
I had setup AL with one instance and linked it to multiple devices. I then manually changed a subset of those devices which got reverted by AL. I will try to confirm by setting up AL instances for each group.

sadly the issue still appears even when both AL and the manual change use the same device. For now I just manually set manual_control

I have Philips Hue lights throughout my home connected to a Hue hub. Most are controlled by a Lutron Aurora Smart Bulb Dimmer Switch for adjusting the brightness, and turning on and off. Take_over_control and detect_non_ha_changes do not work at all for me with these bulbs and switches. Is there any solution?

[doylejg]

I am using the L530E bulb and I have the same issue with detect_non_ha_changes not working (I believe I tested making changes from HA and those changes stick). Specifically, I am making changes with Google Assistant, so HA would only know when it pulls the new data from the bulb.

Update: after opening the settings and resaving, it seems to work as intended. Sorry this was such an unhelpful comment in the end, but they were behaving incorrectly when previously tested.

This will most likely fixed by #486

[th3w1zard1]

This has been fixed by 1.11.0
