IKEA Dirigera lights not triggered first time

[durd]

The problem

Hi,

I'm using IKEA Dirigera through the Matter add-on. Works pretty good when it does work, it's noticeably faster.

But, after a few hours pass without a light being triggered. It seems that something is reset and the light needs to be triggered twice for it to turn on. I'm not sure how much time needs to pass, sometimes it seems like an hour, and sometimes several hours. The logbook shows the scene is being activated, but Overview shows that it's not turned on.
Once the light has been triggered to turn on, it works perfectly.
This happens with another light that also is only triggered by automations. Other lights I trigger manually with an IKEA smart switch and then is controlled by automations, these work fine.

I have an automation that depending on what time it is, activates different scenes which should turn on the light at a certain brightness and warmth. After presence turns negative, the lights are turned off.

Looking at the Matter addon logs it seems like it sends the same data both times. I've increased log levels in the addon, but logs rotate too quick. I've tcpdumped to check that HA sends packets which it does (via IPv6 link-local).

Any help or ideas are appreciated.

There are three triggers in above log, the first fails to turn on the light, the second "turns off" the lights, and the last successfully turns the lights on.

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Can't find any log errors that would give a clue.

Can't figure out how to find the YAML for scenes. LMK how if you could use them too.

[durd]

I found some information in the automations traces that I haven't seen before.

[marcelveldt]

Can you please tell me how this is a HA/Matter issue if we send the command but the light doesn't respond ?

[durd]

Because if I use the regular Homekit integration with Dirigera, the lights respond as expected with the same automation and scene.
I've duplicated the Choose-action so that I now have two after each other and that works when using the HA/Matter-integration.

I guess the issue could lie with automation or scenes. But as I mentioned, lights that I manually turn on with IKEA Rodret switches work with other automations using HA/Matter.
Edit: I could create an HA automation to handle this event instead of through the IKEA app/Dirigera. Would that help pinpoint the issue?

I'd be happy to provide better logs if you let me know how, I expected more than the little I got from following the official article on how.
Is there a way I can increase the amount of logs saved so I can see more instead of only the last 100 rows?

[durd]

Good news! Somewhere between the Matter Server 6.6.0 update and IKEAs 2.660.2 the issue resolved itself.
I forgot to test after Matter Server upgraded.
Thanks for the help. I'll close the issue.
