Invalid color mode/value in logs

[chench00]

What happened?

Invalid or incomplete color value '{'brightness': 254, 'color_mode': 'xy', 'linkquality': 65, 'state': 'OFF', 'update': {'installed_version': 1057832, 'latest_version': 1057832, 'state': 'idle'}, 'update_available': None}' received for entity light.garden Invalid color mode 'xy' received for entity light.sink

What did you expect to happen?

Nothing in logs.

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

I don’t think I did anything?

Zigbee2MQTT version

1.33.0

Adapter firmware version

20230507

Adapter

Sonoff P

Debug log

No response

Can confirm the same thing happening with https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/commit/a7bb3fc

I created a new zigbee group, joined two identical hue signe lights and was faced with no proper state reporting for the home assistant entity. It just stayed at 0% brightness because of that error message in the HA logs.

This was solved by setting a color to that group light entity via HA. With that, the state reporting started to work

[larronni]

My HA log is full of "invalid color mode" messages... It's not only groups, but individual lights as well.

Same here.

[asfalots]

Same here.

Zigbee2MQTT version: [1.33.1] Coordinator type: EZSP v11 Coordinator revision: 7.2.2.0 build 190 (HA skyconnect)

From the log I can see we publish 2 messages for the same device, one with color_mode: xy and one with color_mode: color_temp. I don't figure yet which action trigger which message.

[larronni]

Looks like (I do not know why/how) that the state changes from "color_mode": "color_temp" to "color_mode": "xy" As long as the state says "color_temp" it is not a problem, but as soon as it changes to "xy" the trouble starts...

The issue is on several types of bulbs/lights. Among IKEA LED2101G4 and IKEA L1527.

Are there some logs you need to look into this, or is it something we can try to set in Z2M to solve this issue?

[sirjmann92]

I'm seeing the same thing in my logs, for 2 out of 4 Sylvania LED panels, and 1 out of 3 Hue bulbs. I'm using a UZG-01 with updated ESP32 and CC2652P7 firmwares (latest on both).

I'm using Z2M, had two HUE bulps and a HUE strip, both with the same 'fault' In Setting (specific) set color sync to true. Problem solved :slight_smile:

[Chaoscontrol]

Same here. Device worked fine for a year. I activated the "Color sync" option after a reset and started getting these errors repeatedly. Came looking for an answer.

SOLUTION: I disabled the "Color sync" option. I haven't seen the error again.

My device was a GL-C-008P.

Same issue with Hue bulbs (color) and IKEA Tradfri (white)

[github-actions[bot]]

This issue is stale because it has been open 180 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 30 days

[dajomas]

Funny that for one person, setting Color Sync to true works and for the other person setting Color Sync to false works and then for me, neither works.... (For those who are looking for Color Sync, it is in the Zigbee2MQTT frontend, select a device and then go to the "Settings (specific)" tab)

And after half a year, this issue still exists.

[VanDoni]

Same issue here. For me it seems to occur with Gledopto devices.

[hardwareadictos]

Same here with two phillips ambiance LED strips

[corchat]

I had the same problem. What solved it for me was setting the power_on_behaviour. I had to do this in home assistant as well as zigbee2mqtt

[henriec]

I have the same issue. At least for one ikea color bulb. On the tab settings(specific) there are two options "color sync" and "state action" which seem to have no value.. When i click on true/false the value is set. However, while this is fixing the problem for others (remove the warning from the logs) this does not change it for me. Whichever value is set: i still get the error [homeassistant.components.mqtt.light.schema_json] Invalid or incomplete color value '{'brightness': 66, 'color_mode': 'xy', 'color_options': None, 'last_seen': '2024-08-29T09:00:55.314Z', 'linkquality': 96, 'power_on_behavior': None, 'state': 'OFF', 'update': {'installed_version': 268572245, 'latest_version': 268572245, 'state': 'idle'}, 'update_available': None}' received for entity light.0xe..........

After reading this whole thread again and asking myself why some users had to togle somthing on where others had to toggle the same setting of and again other users toggled a whole other setting I inspected all tabs for missing values. I found "color temp", "color temp startup" and "power-on behaviour" had no values (on the "Exposes" tab). After setting all of them the problem was gone.

After this: my conclusion is that the error could be thrown when one of the "settings" has an empty or unknown value....

[dajomas]

After this: my conclusion is that the error could be thrown when one of the "settings" has an empty or unknown value....

Ran a test on this and I agree, tried it out with a couple of different brands and looking at the "Exposes" tab and filling in the empty/unknown/unselected values solved the issue. In fact, setting a value for only "Color temp" and leaving "Color temp startup" and "Power-on behavior" alone (and any other unset value), fixed the issue for me.

So question to the developer: Can you ensure a default value is set for fields that are unset? (Like default neutral for Color temp, for instance)

[Merril-r]

I am having the same issue with several bulbs
