Hi there,
I’m pretty new to home assistant and have built a few MQTT lamps myself based on an esp32/8266 but controlled them differently. I hope that I meet you forum conventions, and big thanks in advance!
Now I want to switch to HASS and use the MQTT auto discovery feature of HASS to be able to integrate the devices.
Basically it works, but I just don’t manage to configure the ‘color temperature range’ and return the value in Kelvin of the device.
My UI also behaves a bit unexpectedly. When i move (and hold) the slider, the value is displayed in Kelvin, but on release it changes to percent.
This should be easily reproducible using “MQTT Explorer” and send the payload (raw).
The payload I send to <mymqtt::>homeassistant/light/deskLamp001/light/config
{
"schema": "json",
"brightness": true,
"color_temp": true,
"color_temp_kelvin": true,
"min_color_temp_kelvin": 3000,
"max_color_temp_kelvin": 6000,
"rgb": false,
"effect": false,
"name": "deskLamp001 Desk Lamp",
"unique_id": "deskLamp001",
"command_topic": "homeassistant/jps-room/light/receive/deskLamp001",
"state_topic": "homeassistant/jps-room/light/publish/deskLamp001",
"device": {
"identifiers": "deskLamp001",
"manufacturer": "Own Manufacturer",
"model": "Desk Lamp Model",
"name": "deskLamp001",
"sw_version": "Firmware Version",
"connections": [
[
"mac",
"08:B6:1F:2B:1F:F0"
]
]
},
"color_temp_values": {
"min": 3000,
"max": 6000
}
}
This works fine and registers the device, but no matter what I try, I have not been able to modify the min_color_temp_kelvin=2000, max_color_temp_kelvin=6535 and return the kelvin value instead of the mireds. (All values with “color_temp” don’t seem to have any effect except "color_temp": true).
It is always the default mireds 153 - 500
This is the message I recive over mqtt:
{
"state": "ON",
"color_temp": 275
}
This is the log I get on discovery is:
