RGBCW 5in1 LED controller - Dimmer mode - problem to change output "color"

Configuration
1

Hi I’m now trying to setup a RGBCW 5in1 LED controller.
I actually don’t want to use it as LED RGB control, but to control several LED (one color).
I had the idea that if I could make RGB values (and C and W) values, then I could turn on output #1 (Red) by sending the color "FF, xx, xx, xx, xx). But in HA I don’t see I can do that. Actually I can’t from action insert a color code !
But when I find the unit (Zigbee) then I can get at bulb icon with color (in the visuel editor), and from there I have added red, green and blue colors. Then I can control my device when in RGB mode. I cant press visuel editor/yaml editor - to toggle between these two to see how to do the yaml code.
Therefore I have no idea how to set color from Yaml, and I have to because I don’t have the option from the drop down when making a new action. Can anyone help me how to send the color value to the device. I have tried to insert rgb_color: [255,0,0] but then yaml wont compile (extra keys not allowed).

I just tried to use the action “Bulb Turn on” and then I can “add target” (my controller) to setup color, now I hope I just have to find how to do this correct :slight_smile:

I have spend a lot of time trying to control the color setup, but from the wrong action. Now I can controll the unit in different modes, but not the mode I want to use :frowning:

The controller in “Dimmer” mode - then I can’t use RGB color. And on the actual hardware I can see the vallue are called V1, V2, V3, V4, V5. But how and where can I setup these vallues ?

Sounds like you are having difficulties defining what you want to achieve.
Are you trying to change the color intensity for each color to achieve dimming?
Post some code for what you have already tried.

No. I’m trying to use the individual color to control output port.
E.g Red ch = 255 to output max to one LED - Red output ch = 12V.
Green and Blue the same - values 255 (FF).
That way I can set output.
If I use RGB setup for the controller (and this works), then I can control red, green and blue output. If I only want green output ON, then I send RGB (0,255,0).
But the controller supports two white output as well (cold and warm white). I cant get those to work. If I use the setup DIMMER on the controller, then I think I should use the RGBWW color (FF,FF,FF,FF,FF) (all on). When I send the setup to the controller - it pass - but I cant chage the color. This for any of the 5 color values.

If I uset RGB setup, this works:
action: light.turn_on
metadata: {}
target:
entity_id: light.controller_01_light_solutions_91_943_pro_rgbcw
data:
rgb_color:
- 0
- 0
- 255
brightness_pct: 7

But in RGB mode, I can only control 3 output. The controller support 5 color output.

I want to use the controller like below - don’t care about other than ON/OFF states of the output.
