Hi @smichalczyk,

I have a few questions about this, as I have no problems with my Color Bulbs. What brand of LIFX Color Bulbs do you use? (LIFX Color, 650, 100, A19) Do your Color Bulbs support the use of Kelvin, so you can set the color temperature?

Did you try to use version 0.2.1? Did the bulbs work with it?

The problematic bulbs are these:

LIFX Mini 800-Lumen LED Light Bulb (L3A19MC08E26) Multi Colored

How do I check Kelvin support?

I assume this is what you mean. All three show the Whites tab with K color in Lifx app. Notice how all three are set to different colors at a given point in time. Second Floor Sconce and Desk Lamp are Mini White to Warm. The Nightstand is a Mini Color and is skewed way towards the cooler side of the spectrum and doesn’t appear to change much at all throughout the day.

Here is the problematic bulb type again about 30 minutes after sunset. It’s still very cool (too cool in my opinion) compares to the other bulbs.

Unfortunately, the original app does little for me. I mean from the HomeKit app. A screenshot of this would already help me a lot:

Do you notice any improvement with the latest version v0.2.4?
