Perhaps it’s only possible to add a device as generic if it supports the On/Off cluster? (@TedTolboom ?)

Hello All,

I have some new lamps, though try cheap 😛 now I understand why I just have to buy something off a brand

two different lamps same manufacturer (only the size is different) one works as a generic zigbee device:

the other one works only partially: on and off, dimm but not color

when I try to change the color I get this error:

“xyz\_js\_1.default.xyy is not a function or its return value is not iterable”

any thoughts?
