Mine is Philips 324131092621 .

I will check if trigger.to_state.state also works with mine and I'll update the code if it does. Otherwise I'll maybe add a note about it in the description.

Mine is Philips 324131092621 .

that certainly explains it - thanks for looking into it!

Both commands work with mine. So I'll update the code. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the blueprint! I noticed a weird side-effect when using it to control a zigbee group of philips hue lights: the transaction time seems to somehow get overwritten for the off action. I have my lights set to fade to off in 1 second. This works from Lovelace and using another blueprint, but when using this blueprint, the lights turn off instantly instead - any ideas what might be causing it? I'm explicitly turning the group off, not setting a scene
