#Either scene.create isn't storing, or scene.turn_on is restoring all attributes

I've had various automations for lights, both for brightness levels and colors/effects working for about 4.5 years now, and after the latest update they don't seem to work anymore.

I've reviewed the docs to see if there were any updates, and the only thing I saw was changing services to actions and no longer using data_template as most things are templated now.

I've converted to these new YAML properties, but the behavior is still the same.

Effectively, the brigtness of my Jasco/GE Switches and the effect of my WiZ RGB bulbs do not seem to persist/restore properly. In fact, for some reason, even if explicitly deleting the states with either scene.delete or from the UI, it seems to never update the scene ever again and will restore to the original state - even between restarts of HA. Scenes that were created hours before and deleted are affecting the state (but seemingly not the attributes) of other entities in surprising/odd/awkward ways.

This has basically broken over half of my automations, which aren't even complicated ones, and has been frustrating trying to find the problem/solution - but I can't see any information stored in the scene as there doesn't seem to be any insight into that through the UI.

Can you show a proof of concept in yaml?

And you are sure the scene you want to make isn't already defined (in yaml)?

I'm certain, these have been working for years with no changes (other than the updates to deprecations mentioned) or additions, and is reflected among 5 different scenes with unique names.

Below's one of the exact automations I have from a webhook. It used to work flawlessly, saving the effect, and restoring after.

Here's also the before and after state of the webhook. As you can see, effect gets set to null and the rgb_color (and others) have values that were never set. I'm not sure where that color is even coming from (for reference, the alert uses purple, or green, or orange, but never red [255, 0, 0]).

What's more, is the automation deletes the scene, and will recreate it on trigger - however the scene always restores to the very first values the scene was initially created with since last restart of HA. Even if I leave the scene around, it happens the same, and manually deleting has no alternate outcome.

Thanks for responding! I didn't get an alert and just thought about my thread as my lights are going crazy trying to restore from the front patio sensor triggering the patio/driveway lights, and another automation for my TV keeps trying to restore the state as well, which is ruining TV watching 😅

Do you have other bulbs you can test it with? Preferably another integration? As I have seen devices that just get confused by a scene restore :/

#

Other then that I do see noting weird :/
