Add More Items to set_state()

Hi Nirantak,
Thanks so much for such a well written library and for keeping it up to date.

I was wondering if you had any plans to add the rest of the available states to the set_state() Light method?
Your library is amazing, but only supports a small number of state changes. I'd love to allow for effects, alert and colormode.

Is this something you'd be interested in adding? If not, can you tell me what the best way to go about it is? Is it as simple as adding the required keys in the method on line 101?

Many thanks again for all the time you put into this (and for the type hints).

set_state strange behaviour

Description

• Hue API version: version = "0.4.8"
• Python version: Python 3.11.6
• Operating System: Arch linux

Thanks for this library !
I'm hooking my lights up to my StreamDeck +, and ran into this issue.

On initital get_state I end up with something like this ::

state = {"on": True, "bri": 228, "hue": 8378, "sat": 212, "effect": "none", "xy": [0.4976, 0.4266], "ct": 350, "alert": "select", "colormode": "hs", "mode": "homeautomation", "reachable": True}

I updated the "bri" value and set_state(state).
It set the full state as expected, but the light was kind of flashing and struggling with the info,
so I read a bit further and it looks like you can just update what you want as in , via asyncio: light.set_state({ "bri": 123 })

So I tried that, adn now the get_state call looks very different, even after a light.restore_state().

{"on": true, "bri": 213, "alert": "select", "mode": "homeautomation", "reachable": false

Everything else is gone.
Is that as expected?

Do I need to set a certain combination of parameters per mode?
I went through the developer docs and couldn't see anything on this.

Happy to send more data / run tests if it helps :)
