Chris, this is what I get…
I put the bulb into pairing mode. its flashes, so I do a zigbee scan I get a thing and a color channel. The bulb stops flashing and it illuminated bright white.
I then link and create an item …
If I turn the light on/off or use the brightness dimmer, the light varies between off and bright white. Once I move the hue or saturation, it seems like the bulb visibly dims, as it looks like the white led turns off, and only the red, green and blue leds are on.
If I pair the bulb to a normal Lidl zigbee hub, I get a on/off, dimmer, cool to warm light, and rgb colour also dim-able.
So maybe I’ve not understood the limitations of using the hacked Lidl gateway, or possibly its a limitation of the bulb, gateway and zigbee implementation,
