Are the summary mini-tiles averages? Like the temperature and humidity ones?

109

They are probably meant to be? But in my case the averaging is not entirely correctā€¦ Even for a single (!) valueā€¦

Any news, maybe?

Anyone know why tp-link kasa bulbs kl135 would show the ability to ramp brightness in a routine but not bulbs from sengled (W12-N15 100w 1500 lumens)?

They both have color temp and are both connected through linked services.

But, if i group bulbs, then i get all of the options on the group and any sengled bulbs will ramp brightness.

This is a request for the driver developer. If provided by the manufacturer, then open a ticket with their support.

Was this for my question? If so i definitely will. Is it something they are / arenā€™t sending?

I ask because out of Hue, tp-link, and sengled bulbs only the tp link have a dimmer option on the ungrouped bulb.

I have Cree bulbs waiting at home to see if those allow gradual brightness alone vs in a group.

If the tp link bulbs came brighter than 60w equivalent, i wouldnā€™t careā€¦

Yes, it was a response to your question. The developer created a driver that communicates the features and communication between SmartThings and the device. The developer defines what appears on the app screen when you open a device using that driver, along with features exposed to routines.

If itā€™s not a community created driver, then contact the manufacturer. In the case of Sengled, I believe they are cloud attached, so definitely ask Sengled.

Actually i found a way to make them work.

I created a virtual bulb and paired it with the Sengled bulb and when adding that group to my routine it gives me the rest of the options since itā€™s using the group handler.

For general info to others, the Cree 100w bulbs have the gradual brightness ability without the workaround but their colors arenā€™t very good.

I found a better hackā€¦

The way i described doesnā€™t have circadian wake in the routine

If i leave a cree bulb in smartthings (even though it isnā€™t connected) i can create a group with it and the sengled bulb and it gives all the options including circadian gradual brightness.

It looks like cloud-connected lights, such as Wiz and SwitchBot RGBW bulbs, have the ability to control individual bulbs.
