Is there a way to cycle through (not randomly) available light colors with a switch?
I’m using a Yeelight RGB with a Xiaomi magic cube which acts as a switch.

Yes, there is. I just did it but using Philips Hue. What I did:
-
create the “profiles” you want and put it on light_profiles.csv. Example:
id,x,y,brightness
normal,0.4596,0.4105,254
relax,0.5119,0.4147,255
concentrate,0.5119,0.4147,255
energize,0.368,0.3686,203
reading,0.4448,0.4066,240
orange,0.6177,0.3636,151
red,0.6663,0.318,146 -
Create a automation which “cycle” your profiles. I use a xiaomi wireless switch. Double click cycle the profiles:
alias: alterna profiles do spot da sala
hide_entity: True
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: click
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_xxxxxx
click_type: double
action:- service: light.turn_on
data_template:
entity_id: light.spot_sala
profile: >-
{% if states.light.spot_sala.attributes[‘rgb_color’] | string == “(255, 206, 118)” %}
energize
{% elif states.light.spot_sala.attributes[‘rgb_color’] | string == “(242, 228, 190)” %}
red
{% elif states.light.spot_sala.attributes[‘rgb_color’] | string == “(255, 69, 31)” %}
orange
{% else %}
normal
{% endif %}
- service: light.turn_on
The tricky part was to discover on which profile the light is so you can choose the next one. The numbers between parentesis is the RGB color that the light reports to HA. I dont know why the light_profile use one color representation and the light another one (my fault, I guess 
). I’m almost sure someone wil come with a better solution. To discover those numbers I add this to the action:
- service: notify.Lyra
data_template:
message: "sala {{states.light.spot_sala.attributes['rgb_color']}} {{states.light.spot_sala.attributes['xy_color']}} {{states.light.spot_sala.attributes['brightness']}}"
So the ligth report those values on my telegram :-).
Can anybody share their code on this one? As i understand the csv can be skipped by just calling new RGB values. But i don’t like the checking of if states.light.spot_sala.attributes[‘rgb_color’]
Maybe there is a better workaround?
Well… there are other ways. One way is using a input_selection to cycle the colors. I did a little test here with this configuration. First you create a input_selection:
color:
initial: green
options:
- red
- green
- yellow
- blue
And then you can use them, like this example script:
lightcolor:
sequence:
- service: input_select.select_next
entity_id: input_select.color
- service: persistent_notification.create
data_template:
title: "color alert"
message: >
now the color should be {{ states('input_select.color') }}My approach for my new Philips Hue switch:
