Color Extractor does not work with RGBW Lights

[sspaul1976]

The problem

This integration does not appear to work with RGBW Lights. There is no error, it simply does not do anything. I assume this is because the supported color mode for my lights lists RGBW and not RGB, but not sure. These are WiZ recessed can retrofit bulbs.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2024.2.3

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

What type of installation are you running?

Hi @sspaul1976, couple things spring to mind.

One, could you enable debug logging on the color_extractor integration and see what it produces?

Second, I can see your debug of the entity has rgb_color which is all this integration invokes so rgbw shouldn't matter, could you try loading a debug image of all green and seeing if that works, or aiming it against only a single bulb instead of a group (if its a group)

Let me know if the extra logging gives you anything, cheers

Thanks, Adam.

I was able to get it to work with a bit of a hack. I think the external URL was being blocked and path doesn't seem to work for local. Below does work:

service: color_extractor.turn_on data_template: color_extract_url: >-

http://192.168.86.249:8123{{states.media_player.bar.attributes.entity_picture_local }} entity_id: light.music_room

I also added my local IP to the allow external URL in config.

Sounds right to me, it should produce a warning/error if the external url isn't authorised.

Glad you got it working.

not working for me (its just not changing the led status)

service: color_extractor.turn_on data_template: color_extract_url: "http://192.168.1.131:8123/{{states.media_player.yanir_room_speaker.attributes.entity_picture_local }}" entity_id: light.led_s

[yanirel]

get an error on the log :

External URL 'https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/wdNi-5uwhaxeKZzH-FuWl5V4t3VIDYarOxUmgbhdmXYAFHRTFG9GOnBoFDHDGBfZyHVHOP8c4TreX=w120-h120-l90-rj' is not allowed, please add to 'allowlist_external_urls'

[sspaul1976]

I had to add my local IP in the config yaml to get it to work.

The underlying color thief library can pull X amount of colours (from most dominant to least), but that functionality isn't pulled into this integration.

You can have the most dominant colour extracted and applied to multiple lights as it is though.
