Cannot see all entities for IKEA "TRADFRI bulb E27 CWS 806lm"

Hello. Noob Question. I have a “TRADFRI bulb E27 CWS 806lm” that I would like to automate a change in colour based on a value of another device (current [variable] energy tariff), but cannot see an entity that would enable me to do so.

Accessing the lamp from the device list, I can set the colour of the light to whatever (red, amber, green, blue etc) and the light can be manually (toggled) on/off to whatever colour I set it. However, in the automation UI I cannot see any actions that will let me set the target colour of the light. In my entity list, I only see one entry for the light bulb (and that is the bulb itself).

Can anyone point me to how I might automate a colour change without venturing into YAML (not yet ready to venture into that) ? I’ve tried scenes, but see no colour entities for the device.

I was hoping that if I can manually change the colour of the light via HA/gateway, that I could to some extent automate that functionality. I seem to be able to adjust the brightness of the lamp, but that’s not what I’m after,

The lamp is paired through IKEA’s Tradfri gateway. I also tried paring it to ZHA but wasn’t presented with the option to change the colour (just brightness).

All thoughts, suggestions and insights welcome by this noob.

Adding in case this is of use to others. This is probably not the simplest way of achieving this (but it’s achieved what I wanted).

  1. Installed: HA-Emulated-Color-Temp-Light
  2. Paired my bulb to ZHA rather than the Tradfri Gatway.
  3. Created a “scene” for each colour I needed.
  4. Created an automation that at specific points in time (the trigger - when my electricity tariff changes) calls a specific (colour) scene based on the current electricity price. I also created another automation to check the current energy price when the lamp is switched on.

I could potentially streamline the number of automations, but haven’t had a chance and for now am happy with the result.
