Hey everyone, I’m facing a bit of a challenge with my Milight setup and I’m hoping someone here can shed some light on the issue. I’ve got a Milight bridge connected to my OpenHAB setup, controlling an RGBW bulb and two RGBW strip controllers. Everything seems to work smoothly for the most part, but I’m stuck on one particular feature: setting custom RGBW colors.
I want to be able to set specific combinations, like full red with full white or 20% blue, 50% red, and 30% white. I’ve tried using the color picker in OpenHAB, which does have a brightness slider, but it doesn’t seem to adjust the white LED as I expected. Instead, it only changes the color without affecting the white component.
I’ve double-checked my item definitions to make sure everything is set up correctly. Here’s what I have:
Color C223_G1_RGB “RGB Farbauswahl” (C223_Group1) {milight=“bridge1;7;rgb”}
Switch C223_G1_WWSW “White Mode” (C223_Group1) {milight=“bridge1;7;whiteMode”}
Dimmer C223_G1_WWDim “White Mode Dimmer [%d %%]” (C223_Group1) {milight=“bridge1;7;brightness;27”}
I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing in the configuration or if there’s a different approach to achieve the desired RGBW combinations. Maybe there’s a specific way to address the white channel or a different set of commands needed. I’ve looked through the OpenHAB documentation and some forums, but I haven’t found a clear solution yet.
If anyone has experience with Milight RGBW setups or knows a workaround for this issue, I’d be really grateful for your insights. Let’s see if we can crack this together! Thanks in advance for your help.
