Confirmed in v0.1.0 and v0.1.1 :

Repeated log messages to be associated (in my case) with the update of colour temperature by HomeKit when using the adaptive lighting, but not exclusively to it, as it can be prompted by manually using the app as well.

Can also prompt a slightly different warning for colour changes when in the off state, modifying xy: [23/01/2023, 11:04:15] [deCONZ] xxxxxx: warning: request 344: /lights/2/state/xy: api error 201: parameter, xy, is not modifiable. Device is set to off.

Modifying the value of colour temperature/colour when the unit is set to off seems to be part of the behaviour of HomeKit, so that when the device is set to on, it takes on the colour/colour temperature that has been set - this is confirmed by the behaviour of the Home app's 'tell-tale' on the device settings, which changes its colour even when the device is off.

The result of turning the device off at the Home app, changing the colour temp or colour, then turning it on at the Home app is that the application's represented colour does not match the bulb's actual colour.

Hope some of that helps!

Thank you. Helps to understand. Maybe it will be fixed in the next release?

Damn, I was preparing for deCONZ v2.20, but that version crashes on my production installation, so I couldn’t finish it.

Since the latest ZCL version, Zigbee lights might actually accept Level Control and Color Control commands while off, depending on a setting (per cluster). Notably, the Zigbee 3 Hue lights support this. See https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/6454. deCONZ v2.20 and later support these settings, and will no longer return the warning when the setting is active. Homebridge deCONZ will enable the settings, especially for adaptive lighting, but should still check whether the light is on for lights that don’t support the setting (and ignore the commands while off).

Ah - That makes a lot of sense, and explains the behaviour: anything I can do to help in the meantime?

[ebaauw]

Quick fix in v0.1.2.

[axelweichert]

Thanks a lot, that helped for the moment. :-)

[Monofin]

Tested as resolving both issues above, as of v0.1.2 - thanks for the quick update!
