Hey sorry,sound like an idiot but where do I guys learn all this sh&t cos I’m just trying at 40yrs old an sober for once in my life so I can remember to things… Just wondering if f U could link me to a good site or place to learn more things
Hahaha, we aren’t too different. I’m also 40.
What in particular are you wanting to learn?
I’ve spent a fair bit of time reading the home-assistant.io website, the esphome.io website, plus too many hours fault finding various things. I’m an electrician so that has been my life 
How do I manually add the Mirabella Genio Power Plug in Home Assistant. I’ve flashed the smart plug and can manually connect to smart plug via web ui.
Info looks like this:
Continuing from above I can connect directly to device by URL, change settings (on/off) and see the change via mqqt in home assistant.
Continuing from avove, I have manually added the device in Home Assistant with the following code:
And it appears in Home Assistant as…(see next message)
How do I set my globe to this mode?
Click TEMP button
Switch to ‘370’ ?
None of these seem to do it 
I just want to create a button which makes all lights maximum bright WARM WHITE - not nasty hospital white.
Turn the light ON to the desired setting using the popup you have in the screenshot, then go to the the ‘developer tools’ → ‘states’ and find that light entity. It will show you all the colour temperature details etc. You can then create a button that calls the light.turn_on service with that colour temp as the data.

Hello,
My problems continue with these things and it’s slowly killing me.
It’s also random (!!) making it much more painful.
If I reboot home assistant, sometimes pressing the white button in the middle of my colour wheel, it will go warm white, other times, it’s white white.
I unfortunately have at LEAST 3 different types of globes in my house.
What’s baffling is, regardless of the globe model, Tuya will control all of them, without any issue, period.
I almost never want ‘colour mode = white’ If I go to white, I want warm white mode (it’s also significantly brighter) - it literally switches modes into a brighter warm mode.
Some of my globes seem to have supported features = 63, others 19, some support colour temp, some don’t.
I don’t know how to even change this properly.
I tried using
Configuration, customizations
I had to manually add an entry called
“supported_color_modes” and then add “colour_temp”
However I don’t think it liked it.
I just want to be able to CONSISTENTLY set my lights into modes and it’s very difficult.
You can see what I guess is serial numbers here, I think it shows my oldest globe is like 6 years old+ vs my latest 6 months ago
Is there a definitive trick to this?
@FlimFlamFlop Amazingly I think @sparkydave has answered your question in the post immediately before your one:
This will address having different types of light and allow you to tailor the brightness and colour for each individual setting.
This did not work, it doesn’t appear to show the values for the modes.
I can not, consistently identify what to ‘push’ to my bulb to get it to go from ‘color’ mode (quite dim) back into ‘normal lightglobe’ mode, where it goes much brighter and is warm white.
I can’t for the life of me find it AND it varies from globe to globe in my house.
Tuya, does this consistently somehow. I almost wish i could just pull a command from Tuya to switch modes.
What is important here, is that no matter what the current setting I can FORCE it to ‘warm white’ mode somehow, via automations.
So I can wake up to very very dim orange, brighter orange, then switch to dim-warm-white (still brighter than bright orange) and slowly phase up
etc
I can consistently switch to colour modes, luckily, I can’t consistently get them to go back to white modes.
Infact, the main reason I’m doing this, is I’d like a single button which turnes every light in a room to max brightness. Sigh
Can you post example/s of the automations you are currently using to try to force the bulbs to warm white mode (just the action part should be enough), we may then be offer suggested adjustments which may help.
Other useful information:
- which integration are the bulbs using to integrated into HA?
- are the bulbs RGBW or RGBWW?
Hi,
So I think my primary key issue right now is the fact that people above are correct and it’s very dumb / annoying, sorry.
It does indeed seem, if I use Tuya on my cell phone, to set ALL lights in the house using Genio bulbs to a colour mode, then reboot the system, I gain access to the color wheel / colour picker thing.
This is very annoying if my server reboots without my knowledge, or I perform updates to either HomeAssistant, or the VM host it’s running on.
Surely there’s a solution to this without needing to set all bulbs to green or whatever, then rebooting?

Problem #2 is the ability to go from COLOUR / COLOR (sorry) mode, back to ‘warm white’ full bright mode, consistently.
I would dearly love a “at 6pm, all lights in this room MAX” but if they’re in colour mode, they will go max colour, not max white mode.
I’ve attempted using
“Developer Tools” and States.
I can read current states from my devices but I can’t get any way to push these states and have it change anything.
How do I send this to a globe and have it actually work?
min_mireds: 153
max_mireds: 370

color_mode: hs

Bafflingly complex, when the buttons in the main lovelace UI do it fine
Well you can only use ONE colour mode in a service call. So you can’t send rgb and xy together for example.
I don’t use Tuya so can’t help with the specific device issues. I have eithe rTuya-Converted or chip swapped my devices.
What is an rTuya-Converted / chip swapped device? this seems potentially overly complicated?
Are you suggesting what I’m trying to do, is not actually possible with Tuya? (I mean I can literally get the bulb to do the thing I want, with the lovelace UI, I am simply unaware of how to push those commands in a script)
It’s probably the easiest to create a script for each setting you like, that way you can call the same setting to multiple lights. You can then call the script in an automation. I’ve got 2 examples that might help you.
This one is for a normal white/yellow type setting.
kitchen_dim:
alias: Kitchen Dim
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.k1
data:
brightness: 115
color_temp: 204
and this one is for a colored setting, in this case, Blue
blue_lights:
alias: Blue Lights
sequence:
- service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.steps
data:
brightness: 60
rgb_color:
- 0
- 0
- 255
Thanks ofr the reply.
I’m going to play with this but I just want to clarify here, that your white / yellow setting will change the globe from any current mode (warm white OR coloured / colored) to a warm white?
Because my main issue is often I get “colored white” mode, which is very dim, no warm yellow and a ‘hospital’ white. It’s going in to RGB white not classic ‘globe white’ if that makes sense.
It can depend on the bulb itself and if it has 2 white channels. An RGBW Light only has one white channel, so that will cause what you are describing. It may be that the light has something like 5000k White LED and RGB, so to get a warm white, it will use the RGB lights to give you that color. I had a similar issue with the initial batch of Kogan bulbs before they went to RGB+CCT types.
Calling the script will override whatever it is currently set to.
Ok first, I want to thank you.
I don’t know why, I don’t know how, but making it a script with the following, works on 3 of my 5 globes.
service: light.turn_on
target:
entity_id:
- light.bf5854d2257389a0b6XXXX
- light.bf340fe53261cfdf87XXXX
- light.bfe6c63a8f19df2e9dXXXX
data:
brightness: 255
color_temp: 370
CONSISTENTLY.
Be them OFF, Coloured or warm white, it WORKS. Finally.
I can call a script or something, I can work with this.
Now, my 2 old globes, different story 
They are still coming up to a white colour, not a white warm.
Any idea what I can do, without replacing?
They only have the single white channel, so not much you can do other than play around with settings and see if you can find something you are happy with. (call an RGB value instead)
