Color Loop Blueprint & On / Off Setup

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello

I can’t seem to get the Color Loop to work anymore and I’m not sure of the correct setup. I what a group of Zigbee lights called “Backyard Soffit Light Group” to go on at Sunset and off at 11:45 PM only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Is this done by creating three automations; color loop / On & Off?

Has anyone got this to work recently and if so can you post screen shots or the process used to get it to work?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

By color loop do you mean predefined colors of your choice that rotate or cycle? Or do you mean a built-in function that spans the full color wheel?

Hello

I mean the Color Loop Blueprint found here: Color Loop Blueprint with Configurable Colors and Transition Time

Not familiar with that blueprint. I set up my open loops in automation for holidays, etc. Mine are not fast, though. Sounds like the blueprint allows quick change with high overhead.

I’m still struggling to get this to work and I know nothing about coding so I have to rely on AI tools. Right now I can get all 10 soffit lights to go on and off, however they don’t change colour and 9 out of 10 are yellow with one of them being red. It was suggested by AI that I try a script and this is what it came up with. It looks to me as if only two colours have been defined; I’d like 7 Blue, Violet, Purple, Teal, Green, Yellow and Orange. Can someone advise me on how they get the bulbs to change colour? I also have they grouped into one entiry called " light.silicon_labs_ezsp_backyard_soffit_lights_automation". Thanks again for any help that can be provided.
