Hi,
Since HA 2024.4.0 I noticed that HA does not show the color mode correctly of my Tuya bulbs.
So
on/off is correctly displayed
when I change color in HA: icon shows the selected color
when I switch back to white modus in the Tuya app (I can’t switch to white modus in HA): the color of the icon in HA remains in color modus although the bulb works now in white modus
on/off works in HA, but when I want to change the brightness in HA, the old color modus is sent to the bulb
This makes that all my Tuya bulbs become more or less useless in HA:
I can’t switch to white modus in HA
I can’t dimm my lights because than they switch to a random color modus
Can you also check following:
after some investigation, I noticed that this problem only occurs with Tuya lights that only support [white + color]
I have some other Tuya bulbs that support [white with colortemp + color], here the above problem does not occur…
So I don’t know if you have some bulbs that also support (white + colortemp) and color.
For those lights, I see in the interface:
and there is no problem when I switch to white-modus or color-modus: both the Tuya app and HA display the status correctly.
It seems that the problem only occurs with bulbs that do NOT have the colortemp feature…
Is this a light that has the capability of white+colortemp???
I mean, can you -in the Tuya app- change the white from “cold white” to “warm white” but stay in white modus?
I guess I’m not sure what you mean by cold white, warm white, or color temp…
I can set the color or set it to [CCT (Only in Tuya)]
In the last week, if I control my lights with HA, it automatically changes out of CCT and into color mode. If an automation runs that modifies the brightness, it goes to color mode.
The only way to get it back into CCT is the Tuya app or, “Alexa, set the lights to WHITE.”
Whatever type of lights I have, my issue is IDENTICAL to your original post.
You can see that you can select a warm white on the left side of the arc, and a cool white (more blue) on the right side of the arc. The light still remains in “white modus”, but you can modify the correlated color temperature (CCT) What is CCT? A guide to choosing correlated color temperature for your lighting.
Beside this, you can also choose the “color modus” (on the top, select “kleur”).
In that case, you can choose any RGB color that you want
You can see that there is no color temperature selector in the arc. The white modus supports only one temperature of white.
Beside this, you can also choose the “color modus” (on the top, select “kleur”).
The problem we are dealing with does only occur on bulbs of type 2.
As far as I can see on your screenshot, is that in your “CCT” modus, there is no possibility to change the color temp. It seems that you can only activate one colortemp. So it looks like it’s also a “type 2” bulb.
Hey there @tuya@zlinoliver@frenck
I don’t know why this thread isn’t getting any attention but I’m sure there are more than 2 people that use these type of Tuya lights.
Also, the code changes for Tuya Component relating to color mode were not in the release notes for 2024.4.
Hi, I have this same problem since upgrading to 2024.4 it has broken 5 lights in my home that are White + RGB. From what I’ve seen in HA the attributes were showing the specific lights as only supporting HS colour mode
They work fine from the tuya app if switched back to white but HA automation will set it to random colours when triggered. I’ve also noticed that HA a couple of times has caused those specific lights to “fail” / reset and go into join / heartbeat mode
Just started using HA now and I have 4 tuya color + white and until I saw this thread I though I was understanding HA enough to get the lighr to go simply white 80%.
HA would do that but with bulb I color mode and that is much dimmer than white mode. I was trying all matter of effect: white_mode white: true etc everything I could find to get this to work and not drive me crazy as if I cannot understand how to simply turn a light on I white.
Works well in tuya. So essentially I have to create a rule that trigger a google home SDK call from my wall switch to get my light to turn on white mode using the activation in home that trigger tuya. With added delay. Or bypass HA and get the switch to trigger an automatiob in tuya.
So.much for HA simplicity, customization and centralization I though. Well I guess it is bug and someone will get to it eventually or is there a way for new setup to roll back 1 version?
