Home Assistant Only Changes Lights to Red regardless of color selected

Hardware
1

This is really stranger and I can’t seem to figure out what is causing this. It happened sometime this week. I have several automations and one script hat changes the color of my living room lights. One changes a light to blue. One changes a light to crimson. The other changes the lights to gold or dark orange. These were all working as of Tuesday (3/27/18). Now, these automations and scripts change the lights to Red. I’ve tried changing from “color_name” attribute to “color_rgb” but it doesn’t help. When I change the color via the Home Assistant front end, it doesn’t matter what color I choose, it changes it to the same red. I’m running HASS.IO 0.66.0 and the bulbs in question are Lightify SMART + RGBW bulbs. I’m posting my script and automations below. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Don’t know much about Lightify, but have you checked your bulbs/hub with an app or something?

3

I should have mentioned that. They are connected via a Wink Hub and both the Wink Hub and Alexa change the color correctly. It’s just when done via Home Assistant that it defaults to Red.

4

hi there. The same for me. As I updated both home assistant and wink to last version I don’t know which one causes trouble.

5

I suspect that wink changed something. I am waiting on a zigbee stick for my Raspberry Pi so I can move my colored bulbs out of Wink but it’s back ordered and won’t be here for a month.

In the meantime, I’ve created shortcuts in Wink to do what I want and then HA calls that scene. It’s not the ideal solution but it works for now.

I’m having this issue as well home assistant can’t change colors of wink bulbs.

@w1ll1am23 any insight?

7

I still haven’t found a solution to this so I switched all of my bulbs over to the HUSBZB-1 z-wave and zigbee controller. Color change works well now and they operate a lot faster.

8

Really? I haven’t seen that issue. I am able to chnage color, just seems that my none color bulbs report as having color support.

9

Hmm. I have a few lightify led strips and bulbs and they pretty much stay white no matter what color I pick from the wheel.

Found an open issue on it. https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/13843

Hmm okay, stange. I am on vacation at the moment so won’t be able to take a look for awhile, but I know last week the color was working on the one lightify bulb I have. I also haven’t upgraded HA in a few weeks so something could have changed.

Wink light colors are being fixed with PR14263.
