ESPhome RGBWW on_boot color

ESPHome
1

Hello, first post here.
So i want my RGBWW ESPhome Light to be useable as a normal Lamp with the normal lightswitch.
So it should instantly always light up in WARM white on boot.

It kind of works, Warmwhite is on, coldwhite is off, BUUUUUT R & G & B is completely on. It seems like a bug. If i set red: 1% only red turns on. even though Warmwhite is set to 100%. Bug? Weird. I need help

Markant lines of my yaml file of the ESP8266:

esphome:
  name: deckenlampe
  friendly_name: Deckenlampe
  on_boot:
      priority: 750.0  
      then:
        - light.turn_off: 
            id: deckenlampe
        - light.turn_on: 
            id: deckenlampe
            warm_white: 100%              # Warmweiß auf 100% setzen
            red: 0%                        # Rot auf 0% setzen
            green: 0                      # Grün auf 0% setzen
            blue: 0                       # Blau auf 0% setzen
            cold_white: 0% 



restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF

What light platform are you using?

Also, include ``` before and after your code so it gets formatted correctly, makes it easier to read.

Have you considered using WLED instead of ESPHome? I find it to work MUCH better than ESPHome (I only use ESPHome with LEDs when they are part of a larger project), plus it’s much easier to modify on the fly.

Thx, i updated the code formatting.
I dont want to fumble around too much, i just want a light that works how it should.

The lightplatform is called rgbww

light:
  - platform: rgbww
    name: "Deckenlampe"
    id: deckenlampe
    red: output_component1
    green: output_component2
    blue: output_component3
    cold_white: output_component4
    warm_white: output_component5
    cold_white_color_temperature: 6536 K
    warm_white_color_temperature: 2000 K
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF

Is there a reason you’re using such a high priority value? You can definitely get weird behavior if you do something too soon before everything is properly setup. I’d try the default of 600 (and even lower if that doesn’t work).

i just wanted it to happen instantly on boot. lowering the priority may work, but i found a Solution:
just turn color_brightness to 0% and brightness to 100%

esphome:
  name: deckenlampe
  friendly_name: Deckenlampe
  on_boot:
      priority: 750.0  
      then:
        #- light.turn_off: 
        #    id: deckenlampe
        - light.turn_on: 
            id: deckenlampe
            brightness: 100%
            color_brightness: 0%
            warm_white: 100%              # Warmweiß auf 100% setzen
            red: 0%                        # Rot auf 0% setzen
            green: 0%                      # Grün auf 0% setzen
            blue: 0%                       # Blau auf 0% setzen
            cold_white: 0%
