Trying to implement rotation

[DanfieldNet]

I've been following the YT video. I was initially unable to complete the install via ESPHome (2024.11.2) as it kept timing out between 31% - 40%, until I updated to the newest firmware (1.37 4m). Then I was able to get the rotate package installed; however, I am now getting errors in the log such as
[json:041] | Could not allocate memory for JSON document! Requested 408 bytes, largest free heap block: 408 bytes
[json:041] | Could not allocate memory for JSON document! Requested 352 bytes, largest free heap block: 352 bytes

Didn't do any substitutions beside the basic (see below).

Upon boot the log indicates it gets the current state of the Hue light. But the switch will not toggle it, nor will holding the button cycle through colors. Also holding the button doesn't seem to appear in the log... I attempted to capture logs.

substitutions:

Switch the order of the packages so rotate comes second.

Thanks for the quick reply! I changed the order and the functionality of the color rotation on the switch works, but the switch either as on/off or changing the color of the bulb doesn't (although I did see in the log that it initially sensed the state of the bulb). Also, I noticed during some of my tries of holding the switch, the small red light starts flashing.

I'm attaching a log.

btw around the 1 minute mark of the video you specifically say that the rotate has to go first. So if this works, you may need to make an edit.

Thanks again for your help with this. I'm excited to get this working.

OK, I believe I have it. After trying the above, I noticed I got a "repair" message about ESPHome being unable to control an HA device. I changed this option and it appears to be working. Perhaps this option setting being off is a recent change to ESPHome??

If you edit the video regarding the package order, perhaps you can also include the change of this setting.

I do, however, still get that blinking small red light occasionally. Thoughts?

Thanks again!

A couple other follow-up observations now that I have the basic functionality working. Neither of which are major, buy don't seem to align with the video:

• Upon turning the light off and back on via the switch, the light will return to white; however, the switch stays the same color as previously set.
• If the light is changed by another automation, etc. the switch color stays the same.
