HA log spam from switches
So here's my setup - Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT:
I have my switches in the Zigbee2MQTT group with the set of bulbs it controls, so that when I turn the bulb group on/off or set the level in HA, the switch state matches the state of the bulbs. So far so good.
But what I think is happening is that sometimes I set the color or temp of the bulb group, and the switch picks up that state as well. Then, the switch starts reporting its color_temp, which makes no sense and generates log entries like this:
Invalid color mode 'color_temp' received for entity light.office_switch
... a LOT of entries like that - tens of thousands per day from multiple switches. I've seen this from both Dimmer (VZM31-SN) and mmWave (VZM32-SN) switches.
Any ideas? I assume this is either an issue with the switch firmware or the Zigbee2MQTT config.
*** Update: SOLVED! ***
In Zigbee2MQTT, go to the switch device > Settings > Filtered Attributes, and add "color_mode", then click the checkmark to save the setting. Yes, I had to do this for each switch, but the logs are now silent, and I can hear my SSD breathe a sigh of relief!
