I restored esphome to 22.6.2, restarted esphome, it said all my bulbs had an update available, so I updated the one bulb I have been testing, and that solved it, so now I can downgrade all my bulbs to this previous version and have full functionality again, but that does not get to the bottom of what the breaking change was.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
update: I don't remember when but this issue was fixed a few months later. I never knew what the problem or the fix was, but when upgrading from 2023.12.9 to 2024.2.0, the issue is back. This time, I caught it in time to restore 2023.12.9 and verify that it now works again. The problem definitely has to do with updating the device, because I had to downgrade the device to 2023.12.9 to get it working again.
The problem
These bulbs have been working great for multiple years now, but I have discovered some super strange behavior from esphome in home assistant addon yesterday. not sure how to describe this with less than 1000 words, but all of my esphome lohas wifi bulbs no longer respond to on / off from either the ha app or the web browser trying to do it manually with my dashboard, or even when visiting the node through the esphome addon or even the devices list. I connect to them normally, but clicking the on / off does nothing.
but this is where it gets weird, I totally don't get this... the lights work fine when using my ikea buttons working through a blueprint / automation, and node red automations on the lights are working fine. since my lighting is controlled 99% through ha automations and scenes and some node red automations, I have no idea how long it's been broken. tried restoring back to os 8.5 and supervisor from a few days ago, but that didn't solve it. I have lots more backups and could keep shotgunning backup restores going back until it starts working, but would rather try and troubleshoot and understand the problem.
this is probably more of a tech support request than a bug, but is anyone else having similar issues?
