Change light color using helper and input select ikea tradfri

Configuration
,
1

Hello

I need to make my ikea styrbar remote change color on my ikea tradfri lightbulps, using a helper containing a dropdown helper, containing the color names.

Im using this blueprint: Malte/zha-ikea-four-button-remote-styrbar-for-lights-e2001-e2002.yaml

Bulps: TRADFRI bulb E27 CWS 806lm
Remote: Remote Control N2
sensor group: light.bedroom_lightbulps (containing both bulps)

Problem: When changing the bulp colors with input.select_next and input.select_previous - i changes the colors, but it seems a bit random, wich color is selected.

Can anyone spot any obvious mistakes?

    light:
      entity_id:
        - light.bedroom_lightbulps
    button_left_short:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data:
          color_name: "{{ states('input_select.color_list_1') }}"
        target:
          entity_id: light.bedroom_lightbulps
      - service: input_select.select_next
        target:
          entity_id: input_select.color_list_1
        data:
          cycle: true
    button_right_short:
      - service: light.turn_on
        data:
          color_name: "{{ states('input_select.color_list_1') }}"
        target:
          entity_id: light.bedroom_lightbulps
      - service: input_select.select_previous
        target:
          entity_id: input_select.color_list_1
        data:
          cycle: true

Hopefully someone knows what is wrong here - thank you in advance

I did a lot of research and found a solution:

My setup for this to work is:

Bulps: 2xTRADFRI bulb E27 CWS 806lm
Remote: Remote Control N2

Helper group: light.sovevaerelse_paerer (containing both bulps)
Watch this to see how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al9RKee3_NI

Blueprint: Malte/zha-ikea-four-button-remote-styrbar-for-lights-e2001-e2002.yaml

Out of the box, the blueprint give on/off and brightness control for the up and down buttons

I now did the short/long press for left and right buttons

short left click: change one color back
short right click: change one color forward

Long press left: change color_temp down
Long press right: change color_temp up

You need to create a helper that contains the colors you want or your bulp(s) supports.

Inspired by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG0VvQlePkI

settings → devices & services → select helpers → create helper → select dropdown

Now you just need to add the colors you want, you can find color names here:

or a shorter list here:

Don’t expect every color to be supported by your bulps.

Name the color list: Color List 1

If you look in the code you see i have 250 and 454 multiple times - These numbers are my min_mireds and max_mireds, so if your bulps have different numbers for min/max mireds, adjust in the code.

Last i want to say, i have no idea if this is the best way to doit or not… but it works :slight_smile:
Hopefully this will save you some time, as i spent alot on figuring this out :wink:
