I just started with ‘Philips Hue’ integration…
The devices/entities defined on hue bridge appeared in HA…
However I just wondering why I do not have for RGBW lights color change wheel? Only ‘brightness’ can be changed/regulated…
While with ‘Vera’ integration and ‘Zipato RGBW’ light - I have the color change wheel.
See screens below…
For the ‘Philips Hue’ integration should be something more defined/enabled…?
Indeed… It works, when ‘on’…
However I have another question - why in ‘effect’ I see only ‘random’ option…?
No other options. Should be somewhere defined…?
I would like the color to be changed every few seconds…
I didn’t say it was a fix. I told him to fix the problem with his bulbs.
I don’t really understand why you feel the need to constantly appear in threads where people are trying to help others to say that you find their solution to be substandard when (like now) it is the only available solution. If you want to see the colour wheel, you have to switch the light on. To switch the light on it has to be available in homeassistant.
If you believe that the colour wheel should be on the cards when the light is off, take it up with a frontend developer.
OP, the effects box only shows effects that are available for the light in question. Random will just set it to random settings, and that’s obviously available on any light that’s not just on/off. Other lights (like LEDs) sometimes have built in effects like flash or rainbow, they would appear there if supported.
You can write an automation to cycle the colour of the lights.
I use that exact automation here with no issue, I literally copied it from my config and changed the entity_id to YOUR_LIGHT to make sure you saw where it needed changing.
Make sure that you don’t use the automation UI, it will probably mangle the template.
Presuming you have
automation: !include automations.yaml
In your configuration.yaml, then paste the code into automations.yaml. It will probably all need moving 2 spaces to the left so the hyphen is against the left edge of the page and it is all lined up as it is above.
O.K. Now O.K. Thank you…
Just wondering how modify the code to have brightness changing from let’s say 25% to 100%. When color is changing…
Trying, but I’m not getting results…
Each time the automation runs it will randomly pick a number from the array, so in the example I gave the brightness will either be 25, 38, 50, 63, 75, 88 or 100. There’s lots of different ways you could template the brightness, you could do it by time, or gradual increase/decrease. That was just my first thought based on your request.
I also noticed, that in the automation the color is not changing, every minute, as projected…
Do not understand why.
I.e. it changes when I switch OFF and ON again the lights.
Should be still something adjusted/corrected in the code? According the automation it should do (I think).
I would like to change the color every minute…
