I’m progressing in migrating my home automation from Deutsche Telekom’s Magenta Smarthome (MSH) to HA.
HA is up and running, RaspberryMatic as well, both is integrated as well as my IKEA Smart Home items and I have already successfully migrated a couple of devices and remote controls (e.g. HMIP-RC8). Additionally I have implemented the first automations on HA.
I’m able to detect the bulbs and integrate them in my HA setup. I can easily build automations where I switch on and off the bulbs with the HMIP-RC8 remote and dimm them darker or brighter.
The only issue I have is that HA seems not to support the change in color temperature which the bulbs are capable off!
Does anyone have a hint where I can learn more about how to change my HA’s configuration so that I can also change the color temeprature of the bulbs?
If anyone has a good source where I can read more about this topic, I’m grateful!
All right, now after some 2 weeks of time, and a couple of activities, my issues are completley solved. Here is what I figured out in the meantime, what I did so far and where I am right now with respect of my ZigBee bulbs and controlling them with HA:
I run a couple of updates of Home Automation Core since when I posted the original post. In fact so far I installed every update almost immediately. Currently I’m running the latest stable HA version 23.1.1. I can’t say to which extend any of the HA updates helped with my issue
After all of the above I was able to change the color temperature of the bulbs through HA’s launchpad. The last challenge then was to create an automation which changes the color temperature of the selected bukbs.
Apparently it is currently not possible to create such an automation only with the guy but it seems necessary to do a bit of copy&past plus minimal edit in YAML.
