Some weeks ago in an order to AliExpress, I included a Zigbee E27 220v light bulb.It works perfectly in Zigbee2MQTT (in Home Assistant).Perfectly that is except for one thing – the default state setting does not work and in the event of a power failure and subsequent reconnect, the lamp always turns ON.
As it was just one light, I put it to one side and named it SPAREZIG.My latest Ali delivery came in yesterday, this time a pair of Zigbee lights – different manufacturer, same size.Same problem! Thankfully Ali are being good about taking these back and I’ve ordered some WiFi replacements.
Hopefully I’ll have more luck as all my other WiFi lights (Some Tasmota, some Tuya) can be powerup to their last setting.Have I just been unlucky here or is this a common theme with Zigbee lights running with Zigbee2MQTT? I ordered 20w in the hope that this means more than 3w per colour..time will tell… the 9w lamps often have decent white light and pretty useless colour.
