I am using the SmartLighting app to control my hue bulbs. It seems that all the “White” colors do not work properly on the newer hue light strips. The colors seem to work fine on the 1st generation Hue BR30’s but exhibit a very strong green hue second generation Hue Lightstrip Plus. I see the follow…

I’ve run into this between my Hue, Hue Go, and LiFX. SmartThings needs some sort of color space mapping to make sure the colors match on all the different bulbs out there. It will just get worse as more hit the market.

Glad i’m not the only one. I think the most annoying part is you cannot add your own colors to their list within the app, so you are stuck with what they have or need to use other apps which don’t have local processing and quite a bit of delay to them making them basically useless for my needs. I’ve…

[image] bazfum: Hue Go I am havinf the same problem with my Hue Go… Smarthings Hue Color Code and Saturance are not compatible with the Hue new line products. I am using http://www.huecode.com/ for the right code.

Agreed. This is supposed to be handled by each device type to convert 0-100 hue/sat into the correct colors; but that’s heavily reliant on the device’s color gamut. They probably should have went with x/y coordinates. You’d still have problems when you want something outside the range a device can p…

[image] Sticks18: The best solution to your particular problem with white shades is to send Hue a white color temperature value instead of a hue/sat combo. Then all the bulbs could at least produce the same white shades. I’ve asked ST to look into adding the the ‘ct’ parameter and give Hue light…

[image] Tweak3D: Can I make these adjustments somehow via the smart light app? Unfortunately not. You would need custom code in the Hue device type and Hue Connect to pass the color temperature, and Smart Lighting doesn’t have an option to change color temperature yet anyway. Sorry, I should…

To be fair, I haven’t used them in quite a few months, because the delay was so bad, but really this should just be something that can be adjusted in their app. I can’t imagine it would take much effort on their part to allow for the customization of colors :D. Plus, aren’t we trying to get them on…

I just installed 6 Hue bulbs in my Bathroom Vanity. 3 Ambiance White and 3 Ambiance Color (3rd gen) This problem makes it impossible to use Smart Things to set them to a white that matches. The Ambiance White Bulbs all create white colors with the 4 available Smart Things Selections. The Ambianc…

I just installed Smart Lights tonight and thought I had FINALLY found a solution for controlling variable lights, colors, and intensities for multiple lights within ST… and then I turned on one of my color lights looking for a 6500k TV backlight. What a load of crap. I am already fed up with the go…

Me too. Just bought a few osram lightify bulbs, and the smart lighting app by smart things isn’t even close. Daylight is like a blue color, soft white looks more like an ugly day light, green looks blue. blue is purple, etc. Just awful.
