Philips Hue - Tags are not updated?

I try to store the tag-data of a Hue Lightstrip Plus in a few variables, so I can restore them to this 'previous' state after the light has had a color-party.

Seems to work fine, except that the tags don't seem to contain the current values for the lightstrip... :worried:
Whenever I change the color on my Hue-app, the data is not updated in the tags... not in 7.5 seconds, not in 10 seconds, not in a minute. So... Hue-tags seem to be useless at the moment.

    If it's version 2.2.2 you can try https://github.com/athombv/nl.philips.hue/tree/8fff7c0c3c35c08cc047995ab09363531333dd32 This is version 2.2.1

    Are the tags updated in 2.2.1 ?

    I didn't check before. Started creating these flows tonight... after the update.


    EDIT: Strange. It seems to be only that one lightstrip that has the problem... but it is the last device in the Tag-list (top menu desktop), maybe that's something.

    On a side note; could you show how you store the tag data... I would like to do a similiar thing with my Hue setup!

    Thanks :-)

    I think the problem might be the "Lamp-mode" parameter-tag for combined white/color hue lights, like Go, Richer Color Bulb and Lightstrip Plus..

    I can store this tag in a string variable, but there's no way to restore the mode to the lamp.

    It seems that when I store the other parameters in color-mode and restore them to the lamp, the lamp will switch to temperature-mode and from that moment on the Tags for that lamp will not be updated anymore.

    I discovered that the freezing-tag-bug has nothing to do with new generation Hue lights and their mode-tag!
    Here it happened also with the older Lightstrip.... and it might also happen to other Hue-lights, but I''m going to do a few more tests for that.

    Meanwhile I'm writing a detailed step-by-step description for everything I do, so each user with Hue lights should be able to reproduce the bug.... at least I did a few times now.
    And the most evil part of all: As it seems, the frozen tags can only be defrosted by rebooting Homey... so I have to wait about 7 minutes after each positive bug-recognition...

    PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD.

    I will start a new one when all testing is done.
