I’m trying to save my current state with {“psave”:99} via MQTT - and it works, except that the brightness is not included. I only found the segment brightness, but not the main segment.

If i save the state via the GUID, the brightness is included in the json of this preset.

Bug or feature?

Feature.  
As in UI you need to pass info to include brightness and segment bounds.

okay, sorry, then my mistake. But that was different some versions ago (\<13?).

How do I save a preset with brightness via JSON API?

[EDIT] Wow, that was hard to find: {“psave”:xx,“n”:“Preset name”,“ib”:true,“sb”:true}. Would be great to find that in the doc.

Now that you found it, you can update the docs. Please.
