Tradfri Floalt changing light temperature without switching light on

Configuration
1

Hi all!
I tried to configure my floalt light panel in a way that I only control the light temperature.
Basically, I want to turn a float light panel on and off with the tradfri remote control. The light color should automatically be set according to the current time by home assistant.
Unfortunately, I did not manage to change the light temperature without turning the lamp “on”.
Any recommendations?
Those scenes work but, but when I remove the “state: on”, the color temperature does not get adjusted, regardless of whether the lamp is switched off or on.

scene:

  • name: daytime
    entities:
    light.floalt_panel_ws_30x30:
    state: on
    brightness: 300
    color_temp: 257.66590389016017
  • name: Nighttime
    entities:
    light.floalt_panel_ws_30x30:
    state: on
    brightness: 300
    color_temp: 457.66590389016017

Have you tried the integrated Home Assistant Flux platform? I used IT togehter with my tradfri lamps and it works like a charm.

You can find more information about it here: https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.flux/

Thanks alot. Flux seems the right way to do it.
I played around with the Flux component, unfortunatly I did not get it to work yet.
Strange thing is that it starts with 2300 kelvin, and does not get whiter. I also tried to interchange the start_color and stop_color. - This leads to starting with 4000 kelvin, but than it does not get warmer…

My config looks like that:

switch:
platform: flux
lights:
- light.floalt_panel_ws_30x30
name: Fluxer
start_time: ‘20:14’
stop_time: ‘22:00’
start_colortemp: 4000
sunset_colortemp: 2500
stop_colortemp: 2200
brightness: 200
disable_brightness_adjust: True
mode: mired

Hi,
Did you get this working? I tried to add 3 float panels to my working Flux setup and the HUE threw an error.

My setup that is working for other lights which is a mix of Philips and Osram lamps. My relevant part of the configuration.yaml

switch: !include switch.yaml

The switch.yaml

- platform: flux
  lights:
    - light.lamp1
    - light.lamp2
    - light.lamp3
    - light.lamp4
  name: Fluxer
  start_time: '6:30'
  stop_time: '23:00'
  start_colortemp: 3500
  sunset_colortemp: 2800
  stop_colortemp: 2200
  mode: mired
