Connection works, but light colors can't be changed

Open sortino opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I have successfully added all of my lights (Philips Wiz, and Hue) to my Homebridge setup all through a Smartthings hub. Unfortunately, I can only control the brightness and not the color of the lights. Any ideas?

Edit: It should also be noted, the Apple Home app seems to be bugging out as well? Weird colors are showing up when I go to edit, even in the "Tempature" mode where no colors should show. It's almost like the Homebridge connection is causing it to bug out.

Edit 2: This issue might be due to the fact that I have not manually added lights into the config file (I used the auto config plugin). Can anyone provide me with the correct syntax (and basic instructions if possible)?

I have the same experience with my Wiz RGB lights. Despite being able to control color in the Smartthings app, I'm not able to control the Wiz lights when using thee Home app. I'm given the controls to change the color, but they do not work.

Also, if the lights go offline (for example, someone turns off the power switch), the Smartthings app will report the light as offline, while the Home app will simply report the last known power state (on or off).

+1 for innovelli z wave rgbw lights. Work perfectly through the SmartThings app, but the home app does not correctly assign colors
