Hi guys,

So I suddenly (it worked a while back) have the following issue: Example:
1.) I tell Siri to change all lights to "100 %" and "red"
2.) I go into the Home app, create a scene called "Party" and add my desired lights

Problem: When I then choose another color and tell Siri to turn on "Party" one of 3 things happens:
- For some lights, everything works
- For others, a default white color gets selected
- For others, the last chosen color gets selected

I already tried deleting the scene and setting it up again and then maybe light 1 works (which didn't previously) and for light 2 it's the opposite. It's driving me nuts right now.

Anyone has an idea what could help? Thanks so much in advance.
 
I've had that happen before

get the eve app, it ties into your existing homekit home, you don't need any eve devices to use it.
it let's you see what's recorded in each scene and also has a toggle for each parameter to be included or not.

so you can make sure that color, dim, and power are all in the scene, and if not you can include them, and then set the scene how you want, You can even cut and paste colors, so you can copy the red from one lamp, and put it on all the others.

This worked wonderfully well. Thank you so much <3
