So I’m trying to suss out the cause of this particular behavior: when my zigbee switch is turned off it will start cycling through all the LED strip colors and the next time I try to turn on the switch with Homeassistant through the zigbee2mqtt connection it will turn off again (as in not detecting that the switch is actually turned on) and then the zigbee connection is reset and it turns on and off like you would think it’s supposed to.
This is a no neutral connection and I have found that this behavior only happens when the default light off LED behavior is 25% or less brightness. When at 30% brightness and above the switch simply turns off and behaves as you would think it should, the zigbee connection remains snappy and turns on and off as expected with the LED changing colors as assigned to defaults.
My assumption is that this is the switch momentarily fully turning off with an off command and that this is the switch resetting to default briefly as a consequence. Therefore with the 30%+ LED I would guess enough power continues through the switch to avoid this. Finally, I guess a bypass would solve this issue. But I am only guessing and trying to figure out if this is so. Or does the dimmer switch only pull enough power to keep itself on or it does not, no in between. Does the LED light change the power requirements and cause these issues or is it something else? I have no issues at all with the light bulb flickering, this is only an issue with the switch itself behaving erratically.
