Using a RGBW Controller for only RGB Stripe (Change Controller Mode to RGB)

Hardware
1

Hi

I bought a GLEDOPTO GL-C-008P Zigbee LED Controller which could handle different LED modes (RGB, CCT, RGBW)

I just want to use a simple RGB Stripe (connectect via ZHA).
Color change and brightness works fine but when I use the “Temperatur” picker instead of the “Color” picker in HA, the stripes gos off.
Possibly because HA tries to use the separate White-Chanel and not the regular RGB channels.

Is there a possibility to change or limit the controller to use only the RGB channels in HA?

I’ve been struggling with this too…I guess not a common issue. If I figure something out I will share!

I’m looking for something similar: I have the same controller, but I am using it for a single colour only, so I would like to disable everything except brightness. What would the settings be then? And I am using another controller for tunabel-white only - what’s the setting then?

And where/how do I make them? I am more or less a complete beginner in HA, although fairly experienced in other automation systems, and fairly PC-savvy in general.
