Have you tried excluding, Factort Default the lamp and including? Acording to this:

It should default to warm white unless changed. I do not think the binding has that capability.

Hi Bruce, Yep, I tried to exclude, factory default and include again. Issue still persist.
When I send value 0, light is Cool. When I send value 100 or 50 light is changed to Warm, but value is reset back to 0 (light is still Warm). I wanna to preserve last sended value.

I do not see an option in that light manual to accomplish that, I imaging that it could be done with some phantom item that retains the last state,

6

Can I ask a question… are you saying when you change the light, the light stays at the setting but the value of the item is returned to 0?

7

Hi Andrew, Yep, you are correct.

THX, Radim

8

ok… sorry… then… who cares? it works right?
If you have some use case where you want to know what the last set value was, as Bruce suggested, perhaps write it to a dummy item

9

Change it from a switch to a slider in your sitemap file.

Same issue with the slider. Value is returned to 0.

Negative point is, that Sliders and Buttons are not able to show the current status…

So I guest this is the ‘standard’ behavior and the bulb is not defective? I can see your sight map not reflecting the current state of the bulb as a problem yes. I guess an unbound items with the value written to it each time it changes is your only choice. Here is a thread where Rich explains unbound objects
