When I open the Control section in PaperUI, my devices (currently all mqtt RGBWW bulbs) do not show the current state of the device. On/Off is pretty stable, but the other sliders (for brightness, color temperature, or HSBColor) are always 0 (far left) even if the bulb is on and the brightness is set to 50%.
Is the PaperUI->Control screen flakey in this regard or am I missing an mqtt state request somewhere in my files?
Here is my Things file…
