Zigbee led bulb device not configured with all entities

[shaikedem]

Hello all
I added a led zigbee bulb to ha
In Z2M dashboard I can see the led with all its properties, including setting color. When I toggle the switches there it works
See pictures

However in the device that was created by mqtt integration, I can only turn led on or off

See picture

Any idea why I can’t have all led controls?
Do I need to configure something manually.

When you click on the entity name what is shown in the pop-up card?

That’s the settings page. Don’t click the cog icon.

[shaikedem]

ok, i got. you, i can see the control
but how do i control these settings via automation?

[tom_l]

With the light turn on action: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light/#action-lightturn_on

e.g.

  actions:
    - action: light.turn_on
      target:
        entity_id: light.living_room
      data:
        brightness: 255
        kelvin: 2700

Hi
I have followup question

So when the bulb is powered, I can control it on off and so
When the bulb have no power, obviously I cannot control it with HA. But it does not turn its status to unavailable or unknown
It just keeps it’s last known state (on or off)
Is there anyway to make HA it detect the zigbee bulb is offline?

I have other wifi bulbs, via tuya local integration, where the bulb is getting status unavailable when the power is off

That’s a global setting in zigbee2mqtt.

You don’t want to set this time too low or your devices may falsely report unavailable.

Active = mains powered devices.

Passive = Battery powered devices. These will communicate a lot less often, so leave the default 1500 minutes time.
