openhab2/Homekit - Siri turns lights on before turning off

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation

Hi everybody,

I’ve set up my lights in openHAB 2.5.4, inlcuding Homekit and all works fine.
o
Just one thing what annoys me a lot is: when I give Siri a voice command to turn off 1 light, it turns the light first on and than off. The same if I give the command to turn off all lights. First it will turn on all the lights and than turn it all off.

If I use the app from milight, Homekit from Apple or my own dashboard (HABPanel) it works all fine, i.e. it just turns off the lights, without turning them on first.

I think it has something to do with Homekit, as Siri itself is not configurable. But I’m not sure what I need to change in Homekit…
I configured the for every room the same way and as follows (and I think this config is causing the problem):
Livingroom
Livingroom Brightness
Livingroom Nightmode
Livingroom Whitemode

Config:
Milight Box2
VM Windows Server 2019
openHAB 2.5.4

Anybody any suggestions?

Thanks.
Dennis

If you look in your events.log, you’ll be able to see what commands are actually generated for each Item, influencing devices.
I would imagine that is something to do with your multiple groups, maybe sending brightness 0% to one comes with an ON artefact or suchlike.
