Apple HomeKit component + Lifx Mini = Color reset

Background

Hello. I have Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+, with a 128 GB Application Class 2 microSD card.

I have a few Lifx Minis that I’m controlling via the Lifx integration in Home Assistant. Additionally, I’m using the HomeKit component to control the devices directly with Siri via HomeKit on my Mac and iPhone.

A couple of questions:

  • The color wheel seems pretty “not smooth”, i.e. not all 16.7 million colours are shown whereas I know for a fact that they are supported. 47

EDIT: Never mind, there’s a button that’s hidden at the top left in the latest version… Bug, anyone?

  • When I change the colors by dragging along the color wheel in the Home App on either macOS or iOS, it resets the color. Often, the color resets to something it was before if you change it too fast. The best way to fix this is to switch back to the “smooth” color wheel on the Hass.io app. Is this fixable? If so, please guide me and I’ll make a PR.

  • Sliding across the color wheel is way choppier on Hass.io than the native HomeKit app when pairing with the Lifx’s directly. Brightness only changes once I let go of the bar and not continuously.

I have the same issue. My colors are resetting when I change the color in HomeKit. However, when I change the color with Siri the color is changing correct and not resetting. Did you already find a solution?
