Sometimes get_color_zones() returns zones colors where random segments of zones are all zeros. Today I ran into this a lot while testing multizone_chase.py and trying to save the original colors and restore them at the end. It's weird, because it doesn't seem to be from out-of-order packets or anything, and it's not consistent. I'm wondering if the light strips themselves are having intermittent problems.

Def not a bulb issue, the MultiZoneLight get_color_zones() code was just the worst pile of spaghetti of all time. There was a lot of clean up, but the most impactful change was checking which zone indices a response referred to. Turns out they do arrive out of order...
