Wrong Home Value sometimes appearing - 3.2.5

Question

Hi, I've been having an issue with Eos sometimes giving me the wrong values when using home. If I have no values recorded for a given fixture, certain parameters can show up in cues in this wrong Home Value. I'm not sure exactly how. But, I can replicate this by selecting a fixture in blind that has no data recorded and with a cue selected, I will Home one of the affected parameters and it will give the wrong value. This has caused Hippo Layers to be rotated on their head (probably what happened here: https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/eos-family-consoles/f/eos-family/27812/z-rotate-keep-changing ), Iris closed on Robe T2 causing no output all of a sudden, and strobing on a Solaframe 1500 that was absolutely not appropriate. I have found a workaround of recording a home value into my first cue. But this has caused problems for other operators here in the theater who didn't know about this. 
 The affected parameters/channels I have discovered are; 
 1. Robe Robin T2 (modified fixture profile, frost+shutter adjustments only modified) - Iris Channel affected 
 2. SolaFrame 1500 (modified profile, shutters modified) - Shutter Strobe affected 
 3. Hippo v4 layer (v4.5 through 4.8) - Z rotate affected 
 
 I'll send over a showfile via upload link if required. 
 
 Thanks!

Yes, the videos were received and they helped a lot! 
 The problem that you're seeing is a consequence of Home not homing the parameter's mode (which is by design). In the cases you're seeing where Home doesn't do what you're expecting the mode parameter doesn't have any value. 
 The current behavior isn't fully explained and there is an internal discussion for expected behavior now.
