I just read in the release notes of Openhab 4.3 that MQTT HomeAssistant support should be much better now and that we can work directly with the discovered items from zigbee2mqtt instead of manually creating things for this.
I just tested this and the color channel worked perfectly. But I’m having some issues with the color temperature channel.
My lamps all have the color temperature in mired, but for some reason Openhab is always sending the values in kelvin. This is how I configured the item:
Number:Temperature NUM_ZIGBEE_PC_1_Temp "PC Zimmer 1 Temperatur" <temperature> ["ColorTemperature"] {channel="mqtt:homeassistant:4ce1d806:zigbee2mqtt_5F0x0017880100d20f2a:light#color-temp", unit="mired"}
In the sitemap I added the new Colortemperaturepicker like this:
Colortemperaturepicker item=NUM_ZIGBEE_PC_1_Temp label="Temperatur [%s]"
Here is the lamp configuration of the MQTT homeassistant topic:
{"availability":[{"topic":"zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state","value_template":"{{ value_json.state }}"},{"topic":"zigbee2mqtt/pc_1/availability","value_template":"{{ value_json.state }}"}],"availability_mode":"all","brightness":true,"brightness_scale":254,"command_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/pc_1/set","device":{"identifiers":["zigbee2mqtt_0x0017880100d20f2a"],"manufacturer":"Philips","model":"Hue white and color ambiance GU10 (8718696485880)","name":"pc_1","sw_version":"67.108.5","via_device":"zigbee2mqtt_bridge_0x00124b0024c12a85"},"effect":true,"effect_list":["blink","breathe","okay","channel_change","candle","fireplace","colorloop","finish_effect","stop_effect","stop_hue_effect"],"max_mireds":500,"min_mireds":150,"name":null,"object_id":"pc_1","origin":{"name":"Zigbee2MQTT","sw":"1.42.0","url":"https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io"},"schema":"json","state_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/pc_1","supported_color_modes":["xy","color_temp"],"unique_id":"0x0017880100d20f2a_light_zigbee2mqtt"}
And here is how the discoverd Thing looks like in the API Explorer:

Am I doing something wrong or did Openhab discover the wrong unit type for the color temperature channel?
