Recent issue with Hue bulbs

Post Body

I have Hue bulbs in most of my apartment, all linked through and controlled by my Echo's. They have been great, rarely a problem to be had.

However, recently, they all developed the exact same issue at the same time. If someone turns them off by the switch (common in my kids room, since she doesn't talk well enough to use the voice controls), when the switch is turned back on after 10-15 seconds they do the triple flash for pairing mode. When the flashing starts, they go from the warm white I have them set at to cool white, and revert back after the flash.

After the flashing, there's no other issue. They work as normal, I don't have to repair them or anything.

I've confirmed that this is happening in all of my bulbs, even the ones we rarely use switches on, and they all came down with the problem at the same time. Is there any chance that this is from a shitty software update? Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a fix? At this point, since we almost always used the switch in my kids room, I've got it disconnected from the network... While that fixes the problem, it's also turned it into a really expensive normal LED bulb.

Any help would be appreciated.
