Help with RGBWW LED Strip (WS2805) and Home Assistant – Warm White not working

Hi everyone,

I’m using a GLEDOPTO controller based on an ESP32, running WLED version 0.15.

Home Assistant is running the latest version available as of today.

My setup includes a 5-meter WS2805 RGBWW LED strip.

It has 4 wires: V+, Ground, Data, and a fourth blue wire.

I connected both the Ground and the blue wire to the GND pin on the controller.

Everything works perfectly via the WLED web interface – I can control effects and colors smoothly.

However, in Home Assistant, I can only control the RGB part. When I try to set a color temperature or use warm white, the output is still RGB-based – no proper warm white.

Does anyone know how to correctly configure WLED and Home Assistant so that true warm white (WW) is used instead of simulated RGB color?

Thanks in advance!
