deCONZ which Thing Type is needed for Lidl Melinera LED wire?

[mas (Markus)]

I am using openHAB 2.5, unfortunately the color selection for the Lidl LED wire is not working correctly. I suspect it is due to “colormode=hs”. I have seen there is a bugfix for this issue:

[deconz] fix colorlight not updating color channel

Now the patch release 2.5.11 came out, but the bugfix is not mentioned in the release notes. Will the bugfix be available for 2.5.x or only for 3.0?

It would be nice if the LED wire works correctly this Christmas with OH2 and not just next year with OH3.

@J-N-K do you think this will be possible to configure the effect colours?

[J-N-K (Jan N. Klug)]

Please check if deconz supports effects on these lights. If so, please add a link to the issue in deconz that added support.

[Schnuecks (Andreas Heß)]

So, how can we solve the message from openhab with the effect feature?

Is this feature available on the lamp or is openhab mentioning that that kind of lamp has this feature and can’t use it?

I just like to understand.

[J-N-K (Jan N. Klug)]

Ignore it. Will be fixed with the next version.

You should be able to use „colorloop“ which is the only effect available on these lights.

[Schnuecks (Andreas Heß)]

I don’t need the effects just curious about the message.

Thanks for the fix and the additional information on the effects.
