Lights won't turn on with motion automation after sunset with AL enabled

Please confirm that you have completed the following steps:

• [x] I have updated to the latest Adaptive Lighting version available in HACS.
• [x] I have reviewed the Troubleshooting Section in the README.
• [x] (If using Zigbee2MQTT) I have read the Zigbee2MQTT troubleshooting guide in the README.
• [x] I have checked the V2 Roadmap and open issues to ensure my issue isn't a duplicate.

1. Debug logs captured while the issue occurred.

2. Your Adaptive Lighting configuration:

I use the default configuration everywhere. The only thing I changed is: min_brightness = 50 sleep_brightness = unchecked

I already removed the add-on and reinstalled it. The behavior is unfortunately the same.

3. (If using Zigbee2MQTT), i am not using zigbee2mqtt

4. Describe the bug and how to reproduce it: i have lights controlled by motion sensors. The lights are adapted by adaptive lighting. This worked flawlessy in the past. All of a sudden the lights are not turning on anymore when motion is detected. HA correctly fires the automation, but the light stays off. The weird thing is: this only happens after sunset. I double checked and sleep mode is off. I know AL is causing the issue here because when i switch off the main AL switch, the lights turn on as expected. Also, when manually executing the same automation, the lights turn on. The lights change color nicely by the way until sunset. After this, it is not working anymore. This really got me lost.

5. Steps to reproduce the behavior: after sunset:

   • move in the kitchen
   • lights will not turn on

before sunset:

• move in the kitchen
• lights turn on

+1 My motion sensors also show weird behavior recently. Lights either switch on for 1s, then off, then on again after a few seconds- or they do turn ob, but randomly turn off after a few minutes. Have you found a solution?

[jjpeersman]

I did a bunch of testing and ultimately my solution was to switch to Circadian Lighting. I have zero issues ever since!

That is because it is much simpler. Glad you found a solution.
