Hue Entertainment - Lights not responding

Describe the bug

Hello, I just tried to set up the Hue entertainment areas. It works fine so far, you can set it up and save it. While arranging the lights, they react, but as soon as you get to the part about testing the synchronisation, the lights stay exactly as they were before. No change whatsoever. The lights can be controlled otherwise. (I have tried it with different lights, but the same thing happened with all of them).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go To Settings
2. Click on Entertainment-Areas
3. Create Area
4. Select a Light
5. Arrange the light
6. Click on Next 2x

Expected behavior

The light symbols should light up in different colours in the app, but the lights remain the same as when they were arranged.

Additional context

I’m trying to connect it to Razer Synapse, the lights are also recognised perfectly there, but none of the lights change no matter what I set.

No yet, a bit busy with work atm. I"ll take a look at it this evening. It did work once so I’m pretty sure we can fix this.

We will look into addressing esphome lights directly on UDP but for now we’ll have to do with the current implementation. Entertainment mode sends a very high load of light commands to the lights and both HA as lights have to cope up with that. In the emulated_hue.json you can set the throttle setting for each light. For example set it to 500 (=500ms) for your lights and see if that makes a difference
