Blueprint Free@Home - light switch to non-Free@Home (Hue, ...)

Configuration Blueprints

Hello everyone,

i am using the awesome integration from jheling to connect my Busch & Jäger/ABB Free@Home-System to home assistant. I am currently struggeling to create a blueprint to connect a light switch to my hue lightbar.
Could anybody help me? I can’t find the error!

The first set for me is to fix the blueprint only for color temperature. Later I want to add features like RGB colors or time related settings!

Thanks!

You should always write an automation (or script) that does what you want before you write a Blueprint. What you are trying to do there would take just a few minutes using the Automation UI editor.

Besides that I would avoid target selectors unless you know how they work. I don’t use them.

The target selector is a rather special selector, allowing the user to select targeted entities, devices or areas for service calls. The value of the input will contain a special target format, that is accepted by service calls.

Thanks for the hint!
I created an automation. I am not sure if I should convert it to an blueprint. I will need this a couple of times!
Do you know if I could avoid the helpers in the automation?

They look pretty irreplaceable to me.
