Automations turning on lights when they shouldn’t.

[itchyfeet]

I have a couple of automations set to change the colour an brightness of lights in the house but not turn them on, so that if I do turn the lights on at that time they are the brightness and colour I like for the time of day (ie daylight colour during day light hours and warm white colour in the evenings).

The problem I am having at the moment is that google is turning the lights on - despite having no instruction to do so.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

It depends on the brand whether they'll turn on or not.

Tuya/Smart Life won't turn on if you change its brightness, but my LIFX bulb will.

I don't know if there's a workaround solution, but I'll look into it.

Thanks.they are Mirabella Genio lights. They’ve only stated turning on in the last couple of weeks, they’ve worked for years, without turning on.

Might be a temporary bug.

Have you tried Reconnecting the manufacturer's app to the Google Home app?

Yes, I’ve tried rebooting my wifi router, I’ve unlinked the Genio app and relinked. I’ve tried deleting the automation and redoing it The issue has continued. 
i guess I could try completely resetting all the lights and relinking them.
