Values in Light Component can't changed with new native-api

[patricknitsch]

After changing to the new native-api, I can't change the values in the light component anymore. I can switch the state but all values will be at 255. They are not writeable. See the picture below.

Can you share your yaml please so I can reproduce it ?

[patricknitsch]

Sure. Thanks for your fast answer.

Sure. Thanks for your fast answer.

great thank you! I will have a look at it, was just building also an LED light for my LaserCutter and used WLED. Will us that as test-device for ESPHome light part to see what's going wrong here.

Just to be sure: It worked before but since update to latest version its failing right ? (not that I am looking at an issue that was already there :))

[DutchmanNL]

ok I can reproduce it, the light component indeed looks to be broken by latest API integration so we will have to troubleshoot this one. What I see is that state on/off indeed still works as expected, but all light commandos result in an empty request to the ESP device

these entries were related to controlling the colours, as we see we get an empty request somehow

[DutchmanNL]

what I'm wondering, I don't see a color change possibility in the web interface, are we sure correct components are used?

[DutchmanNL]

I can reproduce it also with an Neo-Pixel light component, so indeed looks like an issue with the integrated library

[patricknitsch]

I think that's ok, because it's only monochromatic light. You can only change the value for brightness. I also have rgb in use, there is the same problem

[patricknitsch]

And yes, before the update it works correctly

[DutchmanNL]

I think that's ok, because it's only monochromatic light. You can only change the value for brightness. I also have rgb in use, there is the same problem

Found the issue, we use an attribute to identify if its an controllable light and these values have been change in API. I modified the code and pusht version 0.3.2-beta.0 to git

Can you do me a favour please, install the version 0.3.2-beta.0 from git and test if it works now ? locally it looks good, but before making a new release which is deployed to all users I would like a double test from your side :)

[patricknitsch]

Awesome! I will test it and give you feedback.

[patricknitsch]

It works! tested it with monochromatic and rgb. Looks both good. Thanks for fixing it!

[DutchmanNL]

Perfect thank you, will release this version to NPM shortly so will be available tomorrow for everyone by admin
