Since it will break in 1 year from now, lets keep it in to preserve compatibility with older HA versions

[javiges]

and how can it be fixed, thank you

[amacomber]

Also having this same issue

[TermeHansen]

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a setting where one can have old deprecated flags like this posted. I mean if you have latest zb2mqtt, you probably also have latest HA in far most usercases I believe...

[danielkihlgren]

I agree with @TermeHansen. It's better to make it work with latest versions. Those who choose to stay on old HA are probably those who use old versions of zigbee2mqtt.

Same issue — we no longer have color-changing lights in our house 😞 ...is there a temporary fix?

[hase-00]

I have the same issue. Home Assistant is evolving so rapidly that it makes no sense to use old versions. Those who use old HA versions should also use the corresponding old addons and integrations. Therefore, I believe that the problem should be solved promptly. That's my humble opinion on the matter.

Fixed!

Changes will be available in the dev branch in a few hours from now.
