Same Type of Light Two Different Menus in HomeKit

[jodywhitesides]

I'm using two Wiz A21 lights. For some reason, one of the lights has the 'scene' menu in the "Light" area: see image

The other light is not showing the 'scenes' from Wiz in "Light":

Wondering how I can get the 2nd light to show the 'scenes' menu from Wiz? Without that scenes menu, the light refuses to work properly in HomeKit.

Both devices are listed in Homebridge and have their proper IP addresses in the config. Is there another setting for the config that I should be using for the individual lights?

Hey there,

Thanks for the report. This is due to a bug in the development (yet to be released) version.

To be clear, did you manually install this development build? Scenes should not be available from the normal install.

Hi Kevin, I used the plugin (4.0.1) install from Homebridge app to do the install. Then added the appropriate info into the config section. Was that wrong?

No, it wasn't, it appears I made a mistake and accidentally released development code into the public.

Apologies for the issue Jody, will try to get a fix out by Tuesday ish.

Kevin.

Awesome!

I just wanted to add that I'm also experiencing this bug. Thanks for your support developer!

Edit: I also realized that the duplicate screens prevent grouping the devices. If you try to separate the duplicates, you can group them but then the brightness slider and power button are separated, causing even weirder behavior. Unrelated, I'm also using non-color bulbs and I see color options available in HomeKit, this might also be a bug.

Thanks!

The latest update should fix this, can anyone confirm?

[jodywhitesides]

Is this the new version: homebridge-wiz-lan v3.1.2 (2021-11-12)?

[MoTechnicalities]

This is not an issue anymore. Each light now has the same available menus.

Each light has 2 accessories (tiles) that can be separated, if you want that separate functionality. I prefer displaying the lights as one tile, even though it means loosing one click ON/OFF functionality. Instead, the first click opens the accessory settings.

Is there any way to program it so only a long hold click opens the accessory settings menu, while a shot click just turns the accessory ON/OFF when displayed as one tile?

[jodywhitesides]

Is there a way to uninstall the v4.0.1 ** Nevermind, I've finally figured it out. Having to uninstall both of them and reinstall the updated version.

[kpsuperplane]

Glad to hear, closing the issue. Please feel free to file another one if something comes up!

Thank you for the support :)

[kpsuperplane]

Also @MoTechnicalities unfortunately I do not see any provision in homebridge to set the "single click" action. Would love to be proven wrong though...

[jodywhitesides]

I only get 1 tile per light and no scene menus now... :-(

[kpsuperplane]

@jodywhitesides yup, you need to enable the scenes in the config.

[jodywhitesides]

Got it, thank you. Missed that setting. Now they're working quite well with HomeKit. You rock!
