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 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/8/08766950e7cd7a22ed3565c6ce2a06eccf2c5ec7.png) ---

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 ☹ ---

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! ---
