I’ve been diving into the world of home automation with OpenHAB on my Raspberry Pi 4, and it’s been an incredible journey so far. However, I’ve hit a snag with my Elgin Smart Color bulbs that I’m hoping the community can help me resolve.
After setting up the bulbs and integrating them with Alexa, I noticed that while basic commands like brightness and color work flawlessly, the color temperature slider isn’t updating as expected. I’ve configured a custom widget to display both brightness and color temperature, but the temperature value doesn’t reflect changes in real-time.
Here’s a snippet of my configuration:
{
“uid”: “Cell_Light_Card_1”,
“props”: {
“parameters”: [
{
“name”: “item_warmth”,
“context”: “item”
}
]
}
}
Despite this setup, the slider doesn’t update the temperature value dynamically. I’ve tried adjusting the bulb’s temperature manually, and while the bulb itself responds, the widget doesn’t reflect these changes. I’ve also checked the logs and confirmed that the bulb is communicating with the system correctly.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue with Elgin bulbs or other Tuya-based devices? I’d love to hear if there’s a workaround or a different configuration approach that could resolve this. I’m particularly interested in ensuring that the slider accurately reflects the bulb’s state in real-time, as this would greatly enhance my automation setup.
Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions! Let’s keep the conversation flowing and help each other tackle these automation challenges.
