TPLink Driver with LBXXX Bulbs Proxy Issue

[Time2Jet]

I have struggled with this issue and the answer so far has been “buy white bulbs”.  I don’t use “white” per se.  So that’s not a good solution for me.  
 

I have a bunch of TP LBxxx bulbs that I set at a default color, etc in the Kasa App and the hide all but Brightness in C4 Navigators.  Each time I reboot my controller they all Unhide, regardless of the room they’re in (very odd).  It’s a royal pain to go hide 12 rooms of lighting proxies each time.  

Seems the Auto Hide Proxy is buggy on my drivers.  Maybe the actual driver instance and I need to readd all 12.   Just a little frustrated. 
 

Let’s keep the arrogant comments to a minimum.  I treat everyone here with respect.  Thoughts?

What do you have the auto hide set to?  If you have that set to true - that is your problem.

 

Auto hide means that when it finds the bulbs if they are White (not color) it hides the color channel.

You want to set it to false since you don't want the driver to make decisions for you.

I have it set to True. I will set to False and test.  Thats very interesting Mitch, was that in the docs?  I’ve had tickets in and that solution was never mentioned.

Not sure if the behavior you are talking about is in the Manuel. I defer to @alanchow 

 

But I'm 99% sure it will fix you setting to false.

Worth a try.  It makes sense when you explain it. I’m hopeful. Thanks always Mitch.
