Motion lights always go to 50% not 100%

[Stabu]

This is whats happening with my piston atm, it changes the color of the lights to blue but they are at 50% brightness

What i want to happens is when I walk in the room i want both lights to turn on, turn blue and be 100% brightness. after motion is inactive turn the lights off after three mins.

My problem is both lights will pick the color blue and the brightness goes down to 50%

You can copy and paste logs. You can also copy and paste images into the message box

Can’t you set the level as well once you turn it on, set the color, then set the level? Below is an example. I don’t have any RGB lights to add completely though.

i tested that and the lights will go 50% to 100% but it always kinda weird. its not very seemless, its like it almost blinks.

What is your device and what device handler are you using? You can check that at https://graph.api.smartthings.com/

I am far from a guru but I can think of two possible root for your issue:

The least likely: WebCoRe somehow defaults level to 50% for the command set color. It’s very unlikely because you wouldn’t be the first to report it.

The most likely: the device handler you’re using is programmed in a way that the setcolor command also setlevel to 50.

Of course, you want to take my answer with a grain of salt as I’m not expert.

Posting more info about your device and device handler will most likely be useful.

I’m not sure what your asking, I clicked on the link but not sure where to get the info you need. The devices I use are 2 Philips hue bulbs and Samsung motion sensor. The device handler says none

My Phillips hue does exactly the same. Change color via webcore and it reverts back to 50% that’s how it’s always been so I’ve sorta got used to it.
I just add a 3 second wait and then set the level to 100%

[c1arkbar]

Pretty positive this is because the set color defines a brightness based on the exact color you are picking.

This is what I do to my hue bulbs so it stays at 100.

[Stabu]

Can you post the whole piston? I’m pretty new with all this stuff and having trouble with variables and expressions. It’s easier for me to see it all

[eibyer]

Something like this… this example doesn’t have a turn off task.

Thanks for all the help! Everything is working great now
