#IKEA trådfri does not handle transitions well

So i've been seeing some weird behavior on IKEA trådfri. When turning them off with a transition effect, they sometimes get stuck at 0% but the bulb is on att 1% (0% in HA, but shows as on). Not sure if it's HA, IKEA or ZHA that's faulty or making it behave this way.

I assume this is an IKEA white spectrum bulb (not color bulb?)

#

Those have a known issue where they cannot simultaneously transition both color temperature and brightness at the same time.

#

when doing a transition that changes both color temp and brightness, those get sent as two separate zigbee commands. when the bulb receives the second transition command, it cancels the first transition.

#

(this is against spec; the bulb is supposed to do both transitions simultaneously)

#

oh, wait, this is transitions off? I'm getting confused. I haven't seen any problematic behaviour like that for transitions off.

You're correct, it's that kind of light, and it is transition on.. But I had to disable it to get them to shut down.. They did work with transition, but they got stuck at 0% (but reallt 1%).

#

what action (service call) are you using to turn the lights off?

The regular turn-off one. But like I said, it's only with transition (sometimes), lol.. It's just a bit messy since the lamp does transition, but stops at 1% (0% in the app).

that's very strange. i've never had any issue with turn off with transition on these bulbs. is it possible that the turn off is getting interrupted by some other automation running a command on them?
