Is there a way to set rgb color? #107

Hi,

is there a possibility to get rgb bulbs to change color using you home skill? I found "set color" but it does not show off the color wheel inside the alexa app. Maybe I misconfigured something?

Best, Jan

Okay - brainfoo...

Just had to use a color-convert node from HSV to rgb. Maybe this helps someone else, too.

Yes, but the output from the skill will only be in Hue, Saturation and Brightness you will need to use something like node-red-contrib-color-convert to change it to RGB.

As to why it doesn't show up in the app I can't answer, try using the voice interface to trigger it.

E.g. Alexa set kitchen light, green
