Error while processing state changed for switch.adaptive_lighting_alle

[Chreece]

Hello there! What a wonderful way to help others! Adaptive lightning saved literally my sleep... I'm happy using it. Sadly it's still not perfect but we are getting there...

I have an issue coming very often. I'm getting an error: Error while processing state changed for switch.adaptive_lighting_alle And that's blocking turn on or off my lights when it occurs.

Error code:

Logger: homeassistant.helpers.event
Source: helpers/condition.py:232

I tried turn on or off some options and also remove some lights (even all...) but I still get this error.

Happy to give more info if wanted...

Keep up guys, thank you spending your free time on it!

Do you have an automation that causes these errors? Or do you just have a switch set up?

[Chreece]

Hey basnijhot,

In the meanwhile I seperated my lights that are the same type, in different Adaptive Lighting entities. This error comes with the two LED Strips (Gledopto GL-C-008 controller) that showed also in the errors. The two other entities don't give any error. The values from this switch I use to automate another light (aquarium) so to simulate the sun light from the sunlight position attribute (sunlight position*255 = brightness from the aquarium light). It can be that momentary this switch doesn't give any values (NoneType) and then I got this error.

Don't worry about my issue, take a rest for the New Years Eve :)

Hey @Chreece,

the last update on this was done a while ago. I wanted to check if you still having trouble using adaptive lighting - since there were some major changes in how HA handles color temperatures and RGB values quite recently.

What does not work with the most recent version of HA and do you still use your workaround?

[Chreece]

Yes, indeed. I haven't recently any problems. I close this issue for the time :) Thank you very much for your message
