Help: Color temperature not working with Hue-compatible lights

[r4nd0mbr1ck]

Hi All,

I recently made the transition to Adaptive Lighting for my lights (through Philips Hue Bridge). However, I find that the color temperature doesn't seem to work. The lights are always in a cool white range. My settings are as follows:

 "options": {
  "lights": [
    "light.family_room"
  ],
  "interval": 90,
  "transition": 45.0,
  "initial_transition": 1.0,
  "min_brightness": 25,
  "max_brightness": 100,
  "min_color_temp": 2700,
  "max_color_temp": 6500,
  "prefer_rgb_color": false,
  "sleep_brightness": 1,
  "sleep_rgb_or_color_temp": "color_temp",
  "sleep_color_temp": 1000,
  "sleep_rgb_color": [
    255,
    56,
    0
  ],
  "sleep_transition": 1.0,
  "transition_until_sleep": false,
  "sunrise_time": "None",
  "min_sunrise_time": "None",
  "max_sunrise_time": "None",
  "sunrise_offset": 0,
  "sunset_time": "None",
  "min_sunset_time": "None",
  "max_sunset_time": "None",
  "sunset_offset": 0,
  "brightness_mode": "default",
  "brightness_mode_time_dark": 900,
  "brightness_mode_time_light": 3600,
  "take_over_control": true,
  "detect_non_ha_changes": false,
  "autoreset_control_seconds": 0,
  "only_once": false,
  "adapt_only_on_bare_turn_on": false,
  "separate_turn_on_commands": false,
  "send_split_delay": 0,
  "adapt_delay": 0.0,
  "skip_redundant_commands": false,
  "intercept": true,
  "multi_light_intercept": true,
  "include_config_in_attributes": false
}

Here are the logs after turning on the Adaptive Lighting switch. A couple of things to note: It is setting the color temperature to 4273 at around 8:30PM - this seems much cooler than I expected. Almost immediately after I see a state change detected log with the color_temp_kelvin attribute showing as None and this also has an attribute min_color_temp_kelvin set to 4273 (this matches the color temperature AL is trying to set). I have checked my customize settings, etc. and I don't have a min_color_temp set.

Is it possible that the lights got marked as "manually controlled"? Check the state of the main AL switch. Easiest thing I do to find it is go to States under developer tools and type the word "manual" in the attributes filter.

I'm not sure where you live, but that could have a lot to do with the settings. When is sunset? Put that into the little tool thingy and see what it will do. Set a min or max sunset time if you want to set boundaries.
