Why are my light sources out of sync?

Light sources can become out of sync when you interact with the main power switches

Light sources can become out of sync when you interact with the main power switches (wall or lamp switches) with just part of your connected light bulbs.

For example, when you turn OFF one light bulb in a group with the main power switch and change the rest of the light bulbs in the group to another state, the turned-off light bulb will be out of sync when turning it on again with the main power switch.
