Unable to toggle the state of the syncing #20

When you attempt to turn on light syncing via the Home app, the icon will indicate that syncing is on but will revert back to off after a few seconds. Similarly, if syncing is already started and you attempt to turn off the syncing in Home, it will indicate Off but switch back to On after a few seconds. In other words, the current state of syncing always overrides the state that try to set in Home. Note that modifying the brightness works as expected.

Great plugin.

@cwaddington Which values for defaultOff and defaultOn have you set in your config? Have you already checked the logs for error messages? I recommend starting Homebridge in debug mode (parameter D) to get the detailed log output.

Hi Lukas

My original config did not specify values for ‘defaultOff’ or ‘defaultOn’ as they were optional. I went back and added them as follows:

DefaultOff: passthrough DefaultOn: video

And that now fixes the problem so that when I turn sync on via HomeKit it stays on, and it stays off when I turn it off. Problem solved!

Thank you for your help, and donating your time to this project.
