After setting up action files to control hue, the system works in that the correct scene is triggered but at the same time it decides to turn on ALL the other lights in the hue bridge. one of my action files is this.

Holiday movies often becoming traditions that bring us together with family and friends. Some movies remind us of childhood memories, while others capture the magic and chaos of the holiday season in ways that feel deeply personal. Is there a holiday movie you think is underrated or deserves more attention? What makes a movie feel like a 'holiday movie' to you—does it need to be set during the holidays, or just have the right vibe? In other words, is Die Hard a holiday movie? Do you prefer cla
Can you feel the excitement building in the air? Well, you should, as we are ready for our first Release Candidate for Kodi 21.0 "Omega"!
This is a major release, so, as you'd expect, it comes with many new features. However, with a core change to FFmpeg 6.0, there is a very good chance that we'll get some regressions As such, please be aware that installing this will most likely break things, and we'd really like your help at that point to identify the problems and get them fixed. Please raise Github issues with full debug logs to help us resolve any issues that you wonderful testers come across.
First, we'd like to make a few targeted announcements.
Android users
Many users may still be on the Kodi testing track for their Android devices. It's far easier to leave the testing track from a 'phone-based device, but be aware that if your device is on the testing track, we will be continuing to deploy Beta 3 releases over the next week or so. If you wish to opt out of the testing group, one way you can is by visiting the following link Google Play - Kodi testing track. From here, you can opt out for your Google Play account. This is the best (and possibly only) way to opt out on many Android TV devices (e.g. Nvidia Shields).
With that said, for those adventurous types who would like to help us with testing, you can use the same link to opt in for a Google Play account.
Xbox users
As we do not have a testing track available for Xbox users, we will continue our customary deployment of RC1+ of our major releases to the Microsoft App store. This means that Xbox users will start to see their Nexus deployments updated to Omega RC1.
If you do not wish to receive this update, the only option we are aware of is for you to disable auto updates for all apps/games on your Xbox.
You can disable auto updates to games and apps in the Microsoft Store through the Store's settings.
Startscreen, then selectMicrosoft Store.Microsoft Storeat the upper right, select theaccountmenu (the three dots) and then selectSettings.App updates, setUpdate apps automaticallytoOff.The UWP store deployment is scheduled to begin rolling out on the 16th March.
Skin Developers
An API bump has been made for Kodi 21's testing cycle. See the following PRs for details:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/23926
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/23862
This will require changes and submissions to the Omega branch for skins for those who submit to the Kodi Repository. Reach out on the forums if you have any questions/concerns.
Please note, https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/23927 was merged shortly after Beta 2, and all skins will need to update the GUI version number to be available in Omega repos for any builds (including nightlies) after Beta 2.
The following forum thread has the skinning change info for Omega: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=372280&pid=3174566#pid3174566.
And now, for the list of changes for RC 1.

Known Issues
You can see open issues on our tracker at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues. However, to call out a couple of specifics, please be aware of the following if you're planning on upgrading:
We continue to march forward to what we hope will be a successful v21 "Omega" release.
If you love to live on the bleeding edge, you can get RC 1 from here. Select your platform of choice, and look in the "Prerelease" section. Again, though, please: expect some breakage, don't use this as your daily installation unless you know how to get things working again, and please share your experiences back with us so we can really get going on those bugs.
There is always a great deal more changes/fixes/updates than we can highlight in these reports, so, as usual, you can see a fuller list of what has been merged between v21 and v20 here. For a more targeted look at the changes made since v21 Beta 3, you can see those changes here.
