Every day when my automations come on, not all of the lights will come on. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions? If there is a group of 10 scheduled to come on at 7:00 only 7 will come on, etc. this is happening to many of my automations. It’s always a different 7 or 8 that will come on.

Will the ones that don’t come on react to the app or Alexa? I’m wondering if there’s a connectivity issue to the internet.

I can go in and turn them on through the app with no issues.

Did you happen to move any bulbs around recently? ZigBee is very finicky and likes to be paired with the hub at the location it's going to be used at.

If you did it will eventually settle down but you could try re-pairing any bulb acting up in place to speed things along.

i may or may not admit i set up the same request twice (1 minute apart) to address the issue.

another trick is to tell it to set the light to 100% right after to get it to turn on correctly.

I’ve never thought of this. This may help.

Another issue is the brightness. Sometimes they come on at like 1%. It’s so aggravating.

yes explicitly set the level too. i never know what alexa command my kids or wife has barked out so i have to tell the bulbs exactly how i want them to look when they come on.

Have you set a scene? Maybe try that if you haven't. The suggestion about explicitly setting the brightness is good and this would include that.
