Quick Question About Color Settings in ESPHome AwoX BLE Mesh Hub

[rewisch]

Hey there,

First off, big thanks for the awesome ESPHome component: AwoX BLE mesh (MQTT) hub. I've got it all set up and running in ioBroker, and I'm having a blast controlling my lamps and playing around with the colors.

But I've hit a bit of a snag. Even though I can tweak the RGB codes to create some cool scenes, I can't seem to replicate the simple "light" settings I can do in the app, like switching between warm or cool light. I noticed there are RGB and brightness modes, but messing with those hasn't quite worked out for me.

Any tips or pointers on where I might look to get this sorted?

Here's what I'm working with:

product_id: 0x4B
device_type: RGB
name: EGLO Ceiling
model: ECeiling_30
manufacturer: EGLO

I'm controlling the bulbs like this:

setState('mqtt.1.awox-ble-mesh-hub.3496.command', JSON.stringify(payload));

let payload = { state: "ON", color_mode: "rgb", brightness: brightness, color: { r: r, g: g, b: b } };

Thanks a ton for the help and for the great project!

Cheers,

Hi,

you don't need to send all the info.

if you want to set the color temp use:

{ "color_temp": 248}

or to change the brightness

{ "brightness": 79}

or change color

{ "color": { "r": 255, "g": 74, "b": 61 }}

You can combine color and brigtness or color_temp and brightness. You don't need to pass the color_mode. That is something used by HomeAssistant internallySee 

EspHome-AwoX-BLE-mesh-hub/components/awox_mesh/awox_mesh_mqtt.cpp

Line 540 in b21e6fb

void AwoxMeshMqtt::process_incomming_command(MeshDestination *mesh_destination, JsonObject root) {

for how the send parameters are handled by the code.

So to switch between light modes you need to send the "previous" color_temp or color rgb values.
