Does anyone know if this is possible? (setting hue colors with hex)
I had read on the forum that setColor([hex: #00FF00, level: 50]) was possible but I cannot get it to work.
The reason I ask is because I am capturing the state of the hue before I change it and want to reset it back. When you get the current state of color it returns a hex value, but I cannot find a way to send it back to the bulb.
Supposedly the Hue Notification app will reset the state but I can’t get that app to work either.
What am I doing wrong? 
I have tried this 100 ways, but this is what I have been working with right now, i simplified it to do some testing and have experimented with many different ways to capture vales…
any help is appreciated, thanks

you saved me a lot of time
