Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience in resolving an issue with my Tasmota bathroom light fitting. Initially, I was using the old Rules Machine Legacy button controller to adjust the color temperature of the LEDs, which worked perfectly. However, after switching to the new button controller app, I noticed that the color temperature functionality stopped working. This was quite perplexing since other lights in my setup continued to function normally with temperature adjustments.
I started by reviewing the logs and noticed a Groovy error, which suggested that something might have changed in the new app that broke the previous functionality. After some research and experimentation, I discovered that the issue was related to how the new app handled color temperature commands. It required a different syntax or configuration compared to the legacy system.
To resolve this, I reached out to the community and found a helpful workaround. By adjusting the JSON configuration within the MQTT settings, I was able to map the color temperature commands correctly. This involved specifying the exact range for the color temperature and ensuring that the commands were formatted as expected by the new app.
Here’s a quick tip for anyone facing similar issues: Always check the documentation for the latest API changes and consider reaching out to the community forums for guidance. Sometimes, a small tweak in the configuration can make a big difference.
I’m thrilled to say that after some trial and error, my Tasmota light is now working seamlessly with the new button controller app. It’s a great reminder of how a proactive approach and a bit of troubleshooting can lead to successful integrations in the world of smart home devices. Thanks to everyone in the community for their support and insights!
