Replacement for Garden Hue Colour changing App? (Colour loops)

Hi, I was wondering if anyone as done anything to replace old apps that used DTH to the new world of edge drivers.

My problem is I have a zigbee RGB module connected to an RGB LED Strip and I was until recently using the Garden Hue app to sequence a colour change when its switched on. Now that app as stopped working … I am trying to find an alternative way to achieve the same.

Ive installed a zigbee edge driver with the help of the community ( thank you) but I cant seem to make use of it with any of the standard ST apps or options such as routines or scenes.

I thought of using Alexa routine but that doesn’t have options that would allow me to loop the colour changes.

Does anybody have any colour changing /looping apps or suggestions please ?

Many thanks

If you have access to change the colors in a ST routine, you can use the Edge Counter from @TAustin to trigger the color changes at set intervals.

If light turns on
Then
Turn on counter

If counter eq “x secs”
Then
Change color to blue
Turn on counter (resets)

If counter eq “y secs”
Then
Change color to red
Turn on counter (resets)

It’s not as elegant as being able to loop, but can achieve your goal. I haven’t explored whether Sharptools offers the ability to loop or not.
