default on colour
Closed this issue · 7 comments
I have a number of Kauf A21 RGBWW Smart Bulbs running the latest esphome configs, all connected to Home Assistant. The bulbs work well - I can change the colour, etc..
Whenever I turn the bulbs on they are always set to orange (255 183 77).
Can we set the bulb to keep the last colour setting or, at least, set a default colour (eg white)?
KAUF RGBWW Bulb by Kaufman Home Automation
Firmware version 1.91(y) made using ESPHome version 2023.5.5.
What is the "Power On State" setting set to. It should be working as you are wanting. Maybe ESPHome changed something in a recent update. I'll look into it.
The "Power On State" is set to "Restore Power Off State". I just tried all the options and whenever I turn the bulbs on they are set to orange. :-)
Thanks for checking. Happy to experiment.
Do you have anything in the yaml besides what is shown in the readme? https://github.com/KaufHA/kauf-rgbww-bulbs#readme
Maybe try doing a factory reset as described here: https://github.com/KaufHA/kauf-rgbww-bulbs#readme
Do you have some automation doing this? I can't replicate here. Maybe try removing from Home Assistant and seeing if it still does it.
My yaml file is the same except for the name. See below:
substitutions:
name: bedroom-lamp-a
friendly_name: Bedroom Lamp A
packages:
kauf.rgbww: github://KaufHA/kauf-rgbww-bulbs/kauf-bulb.yaml
wifi:
ssid: !secret ssid
password: !secret wifi
I haven't set up any automations for any of these bulbs yet.
In fact I just connected the last one to HA without any flashing and it does the same thing. Orange.
I used the /reset URL and the bulb was reset. Using the bulb's web page it will turn on as white. When I turn it on via HA it turns on orange. Then the bulb webpage turns on as orange.
So HA is overwriting something to make it orange. Im at a loss as to what that is.
A fresh HA instance doesnt show any issues - the last colour setting is remembered perfectly. I'll look to my HA configs for the issue.
Thank you for your help.
FYI: I had a light_profiles.csv file containing an "all lights" default that was overriding bulb colour when HA turned on the lights.
Weird I've never heard of that. Thanks for letting me know. Glad you got it sorted out.
