Hello everybody,

I’m expiriencing an issue when I use Homekit (via Siri) to select a color for a “Color” item.

When I say “LED Flooder red” the result is:

2017-01-25 12:25:13.602 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 0,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:13.604 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command ON
2017-01-25 12:25:13.605 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 241.352113,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:13.607 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 241.352113,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:13.611 [ItemStateChangedEvent ] - LED_Flooder_RGB changed from 241.352113,100,100 to 0,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:13.612 [ItemStateChangedEvent ] - LED_Flooder_RGB changed from 0,100,100 to 241.352113,100,100

For green:

2017-01-25 12:25:18.817 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 120,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:18.820 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command ON
2017-01-25 12:25:18.822 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 241.352113,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:18.822 [ItemStateChangedEvent ] - LED_Flooder_RGB changed from 241.352113,100,100 to 120,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:18.825 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 241.352113,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:18.829 [ItemStateChangedEvent ] - LED_Flooder_RGB changed from 120,100,100 to 241.352113,100,100

and for blue:

2017-01-25 12:25:23.176 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 240,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:23.179 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command ON
2017-01-25 12:25:23.179 [ItemStateChangedEvent ] - LED_Flooder_RGB changed from 241.352113,100,100 to 240,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:23.183 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 241.352113,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:23.184 [ItemCommandEvent ] - Item ‘LED_Flooder_RGB’ received command 241.352113,100,100
2017-01-25 12:25:23.187 [ItemStateChangedEvent ] - LED_Flooder_RGB changed from 240,100,100 to 241.352113,100,100

The first two commands each item receives seem to be correct. But I have no idea why it receives two more changes afterwards which always result in the same (wrong) color.
Is this a bug or do you have any Idea what could be wrong?

BTW: With the Colorpicker of the iPhone App I can change to the desired color without any problems.

Here is the item definition:
Color LED_Flooder_RGB “LED Fluter” (Wohnzimmer_Lampen) [ “Lighting” ]

And the sitemap’s line:
Colorpicker item=LED_Flooder_RGB icon=“slider”

Any idea ist appreciated… Thank you very much in advance!

regards,
Stephan

I guess I’m having similar issue [Homekit] RGB Lighting reverts to previous setting
Still not found any solution.

Thanks for your information. Good to know that I am not the only one :wink:

Same issue here.

I’ve noticed that if I set a color via OpenHAB app and then try to use home widget (control center I mean) it suddenly works almost properly. ’Almost’ because sometimes it won’t change the color but usually does.
Maybe it’s a hint.

Hi there,

any update on this?

Hi,

any updates on this topic? I have the same problem with Philips hue bulbs here…

@lomdar67 A possible workaround for those with Gen 2 Hue hubs is to pair the hubs directly to HomeKit. I’ve found this approach to be pretty seamless.

That said, I’m also hoping for a fix. I use arduinos to control RGB light strips and would love to be able to change colors from HomeKit.

I have the same issue reported here

I didn’t see any Reply from the developer yet - maybe it is worth to open an Issue on the GitHub.

I just tried and am seeing the same issue. The Color changes momentarily and goes back to what it was. I see the change event followed by another event putting the Color back to the previous.

Any update on how or if anyone resolved this?

I also have the same issue, sometimes it works… sometimes it doesn’t…

We are 1 year later, does anybody know if there is a fix? I’m experiencing the same problem.
