Controlling color of flex_led bulb

Configuration
1

Hi!

I have a cheap light bulb that I’m struggling to change the colors of in HA.

My configuration looks like this:

light:
  - platform: flux_led
    devices:
      192.168.1.179:
        name: flux_table

automation 3:
  - alias: flux_flex_random
    trigger:
      platform: mqtt
      topic: "fast-forward"
    action:
      service: light.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: light.flux_table
        effect: random
  - alias: flux_flex_red
    trigger:
      platform: mqtt
      topic: "light_red"
    action:
      service: light.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: light.flux_table
        rgb_color: [255,0,0]

The flux_flex_random rule works as it should, but flux_flex_red doesn’t change the colors. Also, the color picker in the HA dashboard doesn’t have an effect, but the effect dropdown works.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you ever resolve this? I’m having a similar issue where I cannot get my MagicLight to turn on to a specific color or brightness level through automations. It seems as though only the effects work through the turn_on command.
