Unsupported color mode rgb

Unsupported color mode rgb

[bramstroker]

So I guess if any of those modes are available for an entity, avoid loading rgb.csv.gz etc, and instead just use the HS LUT, no problems? 🤔

Yes that also seems the easiest solution to me. I can have a look into this next friday.

@bramstroker oh ok thanks! Love you username...lol

Yes, at the moment rgb mode is not yet supported, but it should not be much work to add that.
How did you discover that you need both hs and rgb for your YeeLight? This does not sound logical to me, I would expect home assistant to control the light by one or the other when changing colors on the color wheel.
I am not sure if I have any hardware which has rgb as a supported mode, I can check that tonight when I am home. When I don't have a light supporting this I am unable to test.

[bramstroker]

Could you also check in developer tools, which color modes are supported for your light?

Sure thing, here's the entity attributes, (I had just taken note of supported_color_modes to find out):

Support for all three modes within Yeelight’s API is documented here:
https://www.yeelight.com/download/Yeelight_Inter-Operation_Spec.pdf

"COLOR_MODE": Current light mode. 1 means color mode, 2 means color temperature mode, 3 means HSV mode.

I think it’s just a convenience for developers, to pick whichever suits them, they’re functionally identical. Using the Lovelace colour wheel, or the Yeelight app spectrum, it switches to color_mode: rgb. It only seems to be in hs with a manual service call to light.turn_on, ie setting hs_color.

Looks like HASS makes this easy to deal with, though.
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/light/

If the light is in mode COLOR_MODE_HS, COLOR_MODE_RGB or COLOR_MODE_XY, the light's state attribute will contain the light's color expressed in hs, rgb and xy color format.

If the light is in mode COLOR_MODE_RGBW or COLOR_MODE_RGBWW, the light's state attribute will contain the light's color expressed in hs, rgb and xy color format.

So I guess if any of those modes are available for an entity, avoid loading rgb.csv.gz etc, and instead just use the HS LUT, no problems? 🤔

Cool, thanks!

I have made some changes in branch feature/rgb-mode are you able to test with this branch in your installation?
I don't have any lights with rgb color mode so I am unable to test fully. Did have a look at this code of the light component in Home Assistant, and they also set the HS values when selecting RGB of XY color mode, so I am pretty sure my changes should work.

[bramstroker]

Made another commit to the branch. PR #50 contains the changes for supporting the rgb mode.

[bramstroker]

just released 0.2.6 which should include necessary changes to make this work.

Hi, I’m trying to make LUT files for my Yeelight bulbs. The integration supports color_temp, hs, and rgb modes. I tried making the rgb.csv table with a format of bri,r,g,b,watt, but fell flat when powercalc realised it doesn’t know what this rgb business is about. 😅

If you can add RGB, I should be able to get this to work. Perhaps having some logic to convert HS table values into RGB would a useful way to do it? Once LUTs are working for this bulb, I can add mine into the repository.

@aetha

I have some of those YeeLights too were you able to get the LUT files to make them work? Could you post them if you did? Thanks

[bramstroker]

@gdreelin you don't have to create a rgb file. Only hs and color_temp are needed.
