I recently set up my Govee RGBW lights using Home Assistant and HACS, and I must say, the experience has been quite delightful! The ability to control these lights through scenes has added a whole new dimension to my home automation setup. However, I’ve encountered an interesting challenge that I’d love to discuss with the community.
When creating scenes, I’ve noticed that some of my lights, which I’ve configured using color temperature settings, end up displaying as an RGB approximation of white when the scene is activated. This results in a much duller appearance than expected. Upon checking the YAML configuration, I noticed that the color_mode is set to hs by default, even though I’ve specified color_temp in the setup. Manually switching the color_mode to color_temp resolved the issue, but I’m curious why this happens in the first place.
Is there a way to ensure that the color_mode remains locked to color_temp when setting up scenes? Could this be a bug in HA, HACS, or the plugin I’m using? I’d appreciate any insights or workarounds that others might have encountered.
On a lighter note, I’d love to hear about how others are leveraging Govee RGBW lights in their setups. Have you found any unique or creative ways to utilize these lights? Let’s share our experiences and tips below!
