Description of problem: Working: Switch on/off Status: Bulb on, in either color or white mode mode Action: Set brightness via slider in hass web interface.

Exception

Additional info: If in color mode and setting to new color via web interface, web interface notification acknowledges the change, but the light gets set to rgb values 5,5,5 (essentially black) appearing off.

If in white mode and setting to new color via web interface, web interface notification acknowledges the change, but the light does not change and an error is raised in the log:

I can confirm the same behavior here. It was introduced by in this pr: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/7221 @wuub : Could have a look at this? Or should we revert the pr?

[wuub]

From my point of view you can revert everything I did to flux_led. My flux led controller was completely unreliable on default firmware. I reflashed it with an mqtt based solution, so I cannot even test original one anymore.

Sorry for causing trouble.

[Danielhiversen]

Ok, this seams to fix it: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/compare/flux_led_fix?expand=1

This issue still persists on 0.47.1 when using the LEDENET 5-channel RGB+WW+CW controller.

light:
  - platform: flux_led
    devices:
      192.168.1.100:
        name: rack_light
        protocol: 'ledenet'
        mode: 'rgb'

Same issue. Only functions work but set color, brightness and WW level does not work

    devices:
     192.168.2.131:
       name: Garden LED
       protocol: 'ledenet'
       mode: "rgbw"

Any updates on this?

[balloobbot]

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.

Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment :+1:

This was still broken in 0.54.0, but seems to be fixed in 0.55.1.
