The API uses units of mireds for color temperature.
The documentation is updated to correct the units used for color temperature in the API. Mireds are described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mired
Multiplying and dividing by 0.05 is inverted, first of all, such that the highest Kelvin values produce the lowest mired values. Secondly, the values skew, especially at near the lowest mired values.
Consider the following chart. The first two columns are empirical data gathered by setting a temp in Kelvins using Control Center and then retrieving the mireds value from the API.
K, Mireds, K * O.O5, mired / 0.05, 1000000 / K 2900, 344, 145, 6880, 345 3900, 254, 195, 4880, 256 4950, 201, 247.5, 4020, 202 5950, 168, 297.5, 3360, 168 7000, 143, 350, 2860, 143
