This may already exist but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask… For those of us with programmable bulbs, when the power comes back on, all of the bulbs will turn on. This can be a real problem if you are not at your residence at the time of the power cycle…as you may not know for sure if the representation of the bulb is accurate within the app. The Hub knows when it goes off line and when it goes back on line.

Before you begin, turn on Advanced Mode by going into Settings->ExpertFeatures->Expert Mode [image] FAR from perfect, but a start. It will break if the bulb is connected to a remote. My case is a sta…
