The problem is that it’s difficult to reliably choose the desired color. To address this, the swatch should be complemented by a palette, with the example from zigbee2mqtt which displays this:
I know I already mentioned this, but could we imagine a classic palette plus a palette with just the color temperatures (the white temperature, in fact)?
-cold
-neutral
-warm
We can see this in the screenshot by @Tlse-vins just above
I started Cursor on the subject, but I haven’t tested the PR yet, so the hardest part is still to come If you want to test/improve, you can take up the work done by Cursor and ask your AI to fix it!
Good idea, but usually it’s a different feature on devices (« Color Temperature » vs « Color »)
Yes, absolutely, I don’t know what that implies on the Gladys code side.
But since these features often go hand in hand, I think we should consider developing both, and a device that handles both features should have them.
The device widget has a color palette since Gladys 5.0.
You have 10 predefined colors, including warm white, in addition to the color wheel. If the bulb supports color temperature, there’s a slider too: you can choose a cold, neutral, or warm white without targeting a specific point on the disk.
I’m moving this topic to “Delivered Requests”. If there’s still a case that doesn’t fit, open a new topic: it’ll be easier to follow.
