Please help me understand color modes for color led bulbs

[applesauce]

I am using an automation blueprint that I love but it doesn’t work correctly on newer zigbee deconz bulbs…

deCONZ - IKEA five button remote for lights with color temp

This is a fork of the blueprint from Bram Kragten (Thanks for the inspiration!) with the following differences: left/right buttons change color temperature to warmer/colder temperatures, number of brightness and color temperature adjustment steps is configurable, only one light entity (no areas or devices) is supported This light entity needs to … provide either both min_mireds and max_mireds attributes or the rgb_color attribute and support the color_temp argument of the light.turn_on servic…

the bulbs that work well say they are using color_mode: rgbw and the ones that don’t work well are using color_mode: xy

is there a solution to this? can I put the xy bulbs in rgb mode? I am able to use the color picker to change colors on both bulbs, and also call service to rgb value work fine on both bulbs, but the automation doesn’t. can I fix the automation or can I fix the supported color modes on the bulbs?
