I know this is kind of an old topic, but I was able to resolve this issue.
As we all know TUYA is REALLY bad. I am actually new to AH and spent ALL DAY yesterday AND the day before, trying to figure this out. I was literally about to flash my bulbs, because even the TUYAHA fix didn’t work.
2 unbranded bulbs of the same brand, 2 different light strips, all working beautifully.
HERE’S WHAT I DID:
Disabled TUYA from HA
Opened TUYA
IMPORTANT!!! --> CHANGE THE MODE TO COLOR. Make sure you can see the color wheel.
Choose a Color
Re-add TUYA in HA
Should have the Color Picker now.

Does anyone have an update to @Saxo’s query from above?
“Now if only I could get HomeKit to play nicely with this setting (it refuses to send the correct white value and just mixes RGB) I would be home free.”
I purchased a set of Feit Electric (rebadged Tuya bulbs) from Costco. I have added them to the Tuya app, then to HA using the Tuya integration. Using @Saxo’s advice I got the color picker working by adding 63 as a customization, but when I try to update the bulbs in HomeKit, they will only change the RGB values, not the white values. Any advice?

I can only add one buld to this method in cotomize.yaml
Here is one:
-light.32535184c82b960d5b92:
supported_features: 191
It will not let me add an additional one after it.
OK Nevermind. After I post it, it decides it wants to let me add it to customize.yaml .
UUgh. hahaha
Here is the code:
light.32535184c82b960d5b92:
supported_features: 191
light.32535184c82b960d5d14:
supported_features: 191
Hi there,
I found a solution with my bulbs connected to HA with tuya integration.
Go to the integration /option
Select your bulb in the menu
Select Force Color mode
and confirm
Resubmit with no selctionr on the base menu to save the config.
your tuya bulb should have the color wheel

I have been able to get the color wheel for all of the tuya devices, however I cannot control the white LED separately. I am able to set the light to control the white LED through alexa or tuya but I cannot get HA to set it. When I set the color temp, the bulb goes to an unresponsive state until i physically change the color through alexa/tuya. I have searched and changed to tuya custom as well as added custom items for the entities but can’t get the white LED to work only RGB. any ides?
I’ve been having this sam issue and havent sorted it ou
I didn’t find a solution(per-se) to the issue with the particular bulb but i ordered separate bulbs which had both CW and WW, still controlled by Tuya; Unfortunately all bulbs ordered now have new firmware and can’t be flashed with current tuya-convert (atleast the last few switches and bulbs i’ve tried).The new bulbs added to Tuya and it was able to scale from CW to WW, then added to HA with regular Tuya component, selected force color and updated supported features, everything worked perfectly. Seems as though Tuya integration into HA can’t get a white color correct when there’s no temperature scale(only WW), or I couldn’t set it up correctly with supported features. I have added old bulb as a test device but I haven’t had any luck getting the white to work, as soon as HA tells it to go to white it becomes unavailable.
For me it worked the Supported_features to 63.
I’m not sure where did you get the number from, but works in my 2 smartlife led strip controller
Just to check, you have a led strip with rgb+ww led and setting only supported features worked? You can switch from color back to pure white(not using rgb led to create cool white light)? Can you tell me what HA picks up as the min and max mired for your led strip?
my led strip is just rgb. I’m sorry but I’m not that much an expert. with the configuration I started being able to enter the color selection tool in HA
Go to the Tuta integration. Under options:
Select the devices to configure or leave empty to save configuration (you can select more than one) then Submit
Check Force color support then submit, submit, finish

Yes this works
What’s worked for me, is if you set all your lights to a color (say, red) via the tuya app (or for me google assistant since I load my tuya devices through their integration not HA). Once they’re all some color, reload the integration. Voila. Should work until the integration is reloaded again. Idk why but on integration load it seems to be set depending on if the bulb is in white mode or color mode.
great! worked like a charm here! thanks!
Amazing, this has fixed it for me. Previous solutions showed the colour wheel but did not enable actual changes, this has worked flawlessly.
I recently backed up the little import snapshot (is it a docker file?) from my server.
Rolled a new server and set it up and it’s been a mess EVER since.
I can’t for the life of me get the bulbs to change colour, I’m messing with the featue section (HS, 63) and the stupid things are just not working.
Is there a bug or flaw in the snapshot code for backups which misses some data on import?
Correct but this wasn’t a problem until I set up a new HomeAssistant VM - this was fine for me previously.
I also heard they updated HA and made some changes causing this. It’s very frustrating.
I thought I solved this, by literally deleting my bulb, out of Tuya application (delete and wipe) then re-adding to Tuya, rebooting home assistant 5 minutes later and it appears.
Next reboot, the god damn colour picker is gone again. This was fine, until I was stupid enough to migrate from one machine to another with the backup tool. God help me is there a solution here? It’s supremely frustrating.
