Feedback or Bug Why does the Sunset FX not turn off the light?

I tried it last night to turn off my Luna. Set it to go over 20 minutes and it was nice to see it slowly fade from orange to dark blue to almost off before the midnight sun shone in my face waking me up. Turns out that after the Fx runs its course it revers to the previous settings it had which was white and 85% brightness.

I thought I was a way to turn it off the built in sunset fx that you can activate by holding t the power button on it but control the timing of it. But no Its just a rude awakening.

From my +5 years ezpwith Lifx, "long" senses / routines create problems such as failure to turn off or on eventually.

Try an apply over 5 seconds instead of 20 minutes. It works! A bug I guess.

Shortest can set is one minute,

I’ve set scenes to turn my lights off over an hour while turning others on and those run continuously without issue. But the FX returns to its previous state instead of staying off.
