Same result in test

Questions & Help

Hi
I’m new to this, so I do a bit of testing.
This Flow results in the top message each time, no matter the LIFX is on or off?
Is that a bug?

Regards
Thomas

Maybe it uses polling so it might take some time for a change from the LIFX mobile app to reflect in Homey

Maybe the light is dimmed to 0% but still on?

Thanks, what is polling?

Tried to check for both OFF and DIM below 0.1 - same result :frowning:

Polling = periodically checking for status updates. This means that if you change something within the LIFX mobile app, it might take a while for that change to reflect in Homey.

Let’s say a Homey app requests the device status from the cloud service every 5 minutes. When you change something within the manufacturer’s mobile app, it can take up to 5 minutes for that change to reflect in Homey.

Thanks, makes sense!
But just tried this morning after the LIFX has been turned off all night - same result.

But it must be that single LIFX unit, since I have tried the same setup on another LIFX bulb - and there it works.
Really weird!

If the dimming level is 0%, the light is physically switched off, also for Homey.
