## Summary When a parent light group is turned off and then child lights are turned on by an automation (e.g., motion sensor), Home Assistant may reuse the old turn_off context ID for the parent group's state change. This caused `just_turned_off()` to incorrectly treat the group's turn-on as a "false positive" polling artifact, blocking adaptation. ## Root Cause The `just_turned_off()` function checked if the off→on context ID matched the on→off context ID. If they matched, it assumed this was a polling artifact (HA briefly seeing the light as ON during a turn_off transition) and cancelled adaptation. However, for light groups, HA reuses the context ID when the parent group turns on as a side effect of child lights turning on. This is a valid turn-on that should be adapted. ## Fix Use causality-based detection instead of just context ID matching: 1. Enhanced `_off_to_on_state_event_is_from_turn_on()` to check if any member light of a group has a `turn_on_event` that happened after the group's on→off event. If so, the member's turn_on explains why the group turned on. 2. Restructured `just_turned_off()` to check for turn_on events BEFORE checking for matching context IDs. Only treat matching context IDs as a false positive if no turn_on event explains the state change. ## Why This is Robust | Old Approach | New Approach | |--------------|--------------| | Magic 1-second threshold | Actual causal relationship | | Fails with different timing | Works regardless of timing | | No explanation in logs | Clear log: "group turned on because member X was turned on" | ## Test Plan - [x] Added test for light group context reuse scenario - [x] Added test to verify polling artifacts are still detected |

Developer notes for the tests directory
To run the tests, check out the CI configuration to see how they are executed in the CI pipeline. Alternatively, you can use the provided Docker image to run the tests locally or run them with VS Code directly in the dev container.
Prerequisites
Before running tests with Docker, you need a local Home Assistant core checkout with symlinks:
# Clone HA core (one-time setup)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/home-assistant/core.git core
# Setup symlinks (one-time setup)
./scripts/setup-symlinks
Running tests with Docker
Navigate to the adaptive-lighting repo folder and execute the following command.
Important: Mount the entire repo (-v $(pwd):/app), not individual directories, or the symlinks will break.
Linux / MacOS / Windows PowerShell:
docker run -v ${PWD}:/app basnijholt/adaptive-lighting:latest
- In windows command prompt, the command is:
docker run -v %cd%:/app basnijholt/adaptive-lighting:latest
This command will download the Docker image from the adaptive-lighting Docker Hub repo and run the tests.
If you prefer to build the image yourself, use the following command:
docker build -t basnijholt/adaptive-lighting:latest --no-cache --progress=plain .
This might be necessary if the image on Docker Hub is outdated or if the test_dependencies.py file is updated.
Passing arguments to pytest
You can pass arguments to pytest by appending them to the command:
For example, to run the tests with a custom log format, use the following command (this also gets rid of the captured stderr output):
docker run -v $(pwd):/app basnijholt/adaptive-lighting:latest --show-capture=log --log-format="%(asctime)s %(levelname)-8s %(name)s:%(filename)s:%(lineno)s %(message)s" --log-date-format="%H:%M:%S" tests/components/adaptive_lighting/
