Lidl LED Light Bar (TS0505B) RGB not working

I’m using HA with ZHA on a Raspi 3 with Conbee II usb stick. I just bought three Lidl LED Light Bars (TS0505B). But all of them have the same strange behaviour, that RGB colors are not working properly. I paired the lamps at different places and nearby the Conbee II stick. I paired the lamps 2 or 3 times. But they all have the same behaviour.

Without a problem I can change the color temperatur and brighness.

But when I try to change the color to green, red or any other the LED doesn´t take this color. It stays white in different color temperatur.

But when I selected a color and power off the light and then make the power on again I get all the colors I want. In this state I even can switch to any other color I want. Just the brightness stays on the level as befor the power off and always shows 0 %:

BUT when I try to change the brigthness or color temperatur than again only white LEDs are working and RGB is not working.

Switching off the LED light using Zigbee doesn´t help. If have to switch off the supply voltage to get RGB colors. Are the LED Lights broken or can I fix this behaviour of ZHA and the lights somehow??

I just what to change from a working scene with white light to orange or green light to relax without powering off the lights.

Same problem here. Have you found a solution?

I wrote the customer support. They asked which platform I’m using. So I told them about Home Assistant. But (as expected) they wrote me, that they only guarantee a proper working device if I’m using a LIDL smart home gateway. I also asked about firmware updates for the light. But as they told I only can get updates using the LIDL gateway. So I bought a second hand LIDL gateway for 12 € on Wednesday. My hope is, that a firmware update solves the problem with Home Assistant. I will update the thread, when I have results from the tests with the LIDL gateway.

Ok, thanks

Using the Lidl Gateway everything is fine. Just there is no firmware update fixing the problem for Home Assistant. So can anybody write a quirk??

Thanks. is the Lidl Gateway Universal and also working with other Zigbee devices such as Philips Hue or Muller light Smart switch(TINT) ?

Sorry for my late reply. As I know the Lidl Gateway supports all standard zigbee devices. I used Osram switches and Ledvance (and other) lights.

The topic is a bit older, but unfortunately there is still no solution. Apart from switching to Zigbee2MQTT. But there are some news:

  1. I used to have HomeAssistant on a RasberryPi 3, so everything was a bit slow. But the Raspi broke down. So I switched to the already prepared USFF PC (MiniPC) with Proxmox. Everything works much faster now. Except for the Lidl LED light strips discussed here, they still take about 2 seconds to switch on and off. What is the reason for this?
  2. One of my light strips broke down. It kept switching on and off. So I opened it up once. The power supply unit is obviously defective, as the input voltage ‘jumps’ up and down. I will try to solder on a new power supply unit. But maybe the pictures will help to create a quirk.
