#you could make or keep your working

This was sort of my plan. But since all my light switches rely on scenes I didn't want to wait until it was fixed. Unfortunately, it looks like the rollback broke smething else (the file editor's explore function), but hopefully that will repair upon updating (I see there is a newer version of the editor available)
And I was kind of hoping that someone else had encountered something similar and knew how to prevent it before updating again. I really have no clue how a scene can be unavailable if all the individual entities can be reached. I sort of assumed a scene.turn_on command for a few lights was just shorthand for multiple light.turn_on commands with attributes set in the scene. But apparently there is more to it....

you should check into Samba share Add-On if you haven't already... makes it so you can access and edit the configs via your windows machine...
I like it much better than any of the file editors that are accessible through the UI

I don't have that add-on installed, I'll take a look.

do you have your scenes setup in a separate scenes.yaml file?
I started out using scenes to control multiple lights with settings... (which is kinda nice).
I moved to using Adaptive Lighting to control the white color and brightness of my lights, and for the rest... I created light groups (a room for example, can be grouped into a light group and controlled as a single light), and manually setting brightness, colors, etc in the automations.

do you have your scenes setup in a separate scenes.yaml file?
Yes, they are in a separate file. I can't reach it via the UI atm but I do have access to it via an ssh terminal to the Pi.

maybe wait until the morning of a nice bright day to upgrade and attempt to fix... set a timebox for it so you can be reverted if need be by dark.

I use scenes because I don't want to control them as a single light. I have rgbww and white lights in the same room. I don't know Adaptive Lighting. What does it do?
ocean fog
I don't use scenes anymore, so... I haven't had this experience, and don't know how to fix. I can say though that the Samba share addon is by far the best way (imo) to edit the config files
"Automatically adapt the brightness and color of lights based on the sun position and take over manual control"
I quite like it now that it's dialed in to my preferences
you can create instances of it, so... each bulb could have it's own instance... or... multiple could be on the same instance.

Oh, I definitely don't want to do that. The sun position has little to do with how I want my lights. Until the AI becomes good enough to read my mind I prefer manual settings
ocean fog
well, the cool thing about it is... you can have it as manual or controlled as you want...
might be at least worth a small test to see for yourself what it actually does. 😛
(it's hard to explain)
as for the scenes, I'd suggest Samba Share for editing the files, and... that is as far as I can help

Bas Nijholt sounded familiar to me. I checked his profile photo on GitHub, I actually know him. He was an undergraduate student in the group where I did a postdoc 😃 . I remember him as a smart guy, so I will take a better look at what he did. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks! It seems something got messed up though when I rolled back. I just installed Samba Share and it won't start because the configuration is missing a password. But the 'configuration' tab says: 'This add-on does not expose configuration for you to mess with…'
