Light helper can't change color of Hue Bulb

[Ben90]

Hello,

I created a light helper to control a Hue bulb.
The On/Off, brightness, and color temperature functions work, but changing the color itself does not.

In “Actions on set HS color,” I entered:

action: light.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: light.hue_couloir
data:
  rgb_color: "{{ rgb_color }}"

But as soon as I choose a color on the color picker, I get the error:

Failed to perform the action light/turn_on. None for dictionary value @ data[‘rgb_color’]

I tried the same thing with hs_color but got the same result.

How can I make it work?

rgb_color: "{{ rgb_color }}"

What is defined as rgb_color in your light helper? Please define light helper.

Does this work?

action: light.turn_on
metadata: {}
data:
  rgb_color:
    - 240
    - 15
    - 15
target:
  entity_id: light.hue_couloir

Yes, your code work. In fact I never used a light helper via the UI.
I just want the bulb to take the color I choose on the color picker.
I made this for the level:

target:
  entity_id: light.hue_couloir
data:
  brightness: "{{ brightness }}"
action: light.turn_on

and this for the temperature:

target:
  entity_id: light.hue_couloir
data:
  color_temp: "{{ color_temp }}"
action: light.turn_on

Both seems to work but not the color.

@Ben90

rgb_color: "{{ rgb_color }}"

@Ben90

brightness: "{{ brightness }}"

@Ben90

color_temp: "{{ color_temp }}"

What we are saying is you have to either define those variables (correctly) or instead use valid hard values instead of variable names.

RGB is a list of 3 values 0 to 255.
[123,234,0] and if it is giving you problems, you may have to cast it with an additional |list.

I succeeded with:

action: light.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: light.hue_couloir
data:
  hs_color:
    - "{{ hs[0] }}"
    - "{{ hs[1] }}"

I created this:

With these parameters:

Perhaps I didn’t express my request clearly, but in any case, it’s working now.
Thanks for your help.
