The problem

I just updated to ESPHOME 2023.12.5. And for some reason my Wallfire E27 bulbs state they are OFF but still glow very dim.

This didn't happen until I updated. I searched and found a post from March 7th that stated the same issue but was unresolved.

2023.12.5

What type of installation are you using?

Home Assistant Add-on

The only relevant change appears to be https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/5765.

ssieb commented 9 months ago

What version did you have installed on the bulb before this? That change was made in 2023.11.1

ThrashinVictim commented 9 months ago

I believe it was the version before this one.

ssieb commented 9 months ago

Which should have been the version with that change, unless you installed the .0 version.

@Mat931 any ideas about this?

Try increasing the bit_depth as a workaround. The problem will still happen but the light will be so dim that you can barely see it.

Increased bit_depth to 12 and that fixed the issue. Thanks.
