Combining RGB with CWW light

ESPHome
1

I’m a bit stuck,

I have a light with warm white and RGB,
but as of now those are 2 separate entities.
but I want to use only 1.

So my thought was to create a 3th light and then sync the colors.
but when I do this. none of the colors work.

I have this now

bk72xx:
  board: generic-bk7231n-qfn32-tuya

globals:
  - id: sync_r
    type: float
    restore_value: no
    initial_value: "0.0"

  - id: sync_g
    type: float
    restore_value: no
    initial_value: "0.0"

  - id: sync_b
    type: float
    restore_value: no
    initial_value: "0.0"

  - id: sync_lock
    type: bool
    restore_value: no
    initial_value: "false"


output:
  - platform: libretiny_pwm
    id: output_cold
    pin: P26
  - platform: libretiny_pwm
    id: output_warm
    pin: P24

            id(sync_lock) = true;

            id(sync_r) = id(rgb_raw).current_values.get_red();
            id(sync_g) = id(rgb_raw).current_values.get_green();
            id(sync_b) = id(rgb_raw).current_values.get_blue();

            auto call = id(light_rgbww).make_call();
            call.set_red(id(sync_r));
            call.set_green(id(sync_g));
            call.set_blue(id(sync_b));
            call.perform();

            id(sync_lock) = false;

  - platform: rgbww
    id: light_rgbww

    warm_white: output_warm
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON
    on_state:
      then:
        - lambda: |-
            if (id(sync_lock)) return;
            id(sync_lock) = true;

            id(sync_r) = id(light_rgbww).current_values.get_red();
            id(sync_g) = id(light_rgbww).current_values.get_green();
            id(sync_b) = id(light_rgbww).current_values.get_blue();

            auto call = id(rgb_raw).make_call();
            call.set_rgb(id(sync_r), id(sync_g), id(sync_b));
            call.perform();

            id(sync_lock) = false;

the global sync_r etc I probably can set local,
but that won’t fix my issue.

anyone any suggestions?
I think I either read or write the colors wrong

Before you go off and do a whole bunch of over thinking and making a minor problem into a massive one, you need to do the most important step and thats to go check through the Esphome documentation for solutions that may already exist for this or any problem because it would have saved you all this extra unnecessary code you made…

Also, what specific type of device/hardware are you using?
