Anyone seen these? They are about $20 cheaper then the hue color bulb.

I’ve used both the Sengled classic and and Sengled Element plus with hass.io. They are linked to the hub with USB zwave/zigbee dongle. All functions work however for the plus there isn’t a slider for temperature. To change the temperature you have to send commands individually to the bulbs.

These color bulbs are brand new so I’d imagine its the same situation for them with only the brightness slider being available in the front end with the other features requiring the sending of specific commands to adjust.

Thanks for the info. I love my hue color bulb and this is cheaper. I have a bunch of the sengled white and this looked promising. I may order one and see how it does.

Any chance you could share that command that you sent for posterity?

What I did to get it to work was reset the bulb to default settings by tuning it off and on 10 times. Then call zha.permit.

Its the standard light.turn_on with either kelvin or mireds in the payload

So Tungsten is:

{
  "entity_id": "[ENTITY ID HERE]",
  "kelvin": 2700
}

I’m using them extensively and they work out-of-the-box without any changes, at least in 0.116 . Pairing is a breeze, simply plug them in and do a zigbee search.

Controlling brightness and color works fine.
