Shelly RGBW2 white channel dim feature request

[notbuch]

Problem: can't use the rgbw2 becaus of:

1. an't dimm the white chanel in homey
2. rgbw is dimmable

and the "toggle white" and "on/off switches" just doesn't solute the problem, white will not go on reliable. it's buggy.

solution? if there were 2 dimmers (first rgbw, sec white), everything would be fine. maybe homey will not be able to prefer 2 dimmers in one device by default, so maybe you can just have two devices to solve this (like fibaro double switch including, you get 2 devices, the first have all the setting and ohne switch, the second just an additional switch)).

I just had a look at the code. It seems this is already implemented under the light temperature capability.

• Dim/brightnes capability equals the brightness slider from Shelly
• Light temperature capability equals the white channel slider from Shelly

What more do you expect to see?

Thank you,

I just tested it, you are right, I did not see it till now.

There are some (small) problems anyway: The on/off button is able to toggel in homey, but the function an the status doesn't work proper and we can not use the light dim-parameter within the if-flow. For me it would be more flexible to have a second device for on/off dimm white channel an the rgbw2 dimmer.

That's not going to happen, it would effect all existing users that never mentioned any issues with the current implementation.

I never heard of any issues with the on/off button either. I assume you are talking about the whitemode toggle? I should probably be using a stateless button anyway instead of a on/off switch for that as the Shelly does not have matching functionality and does not report any white mode on/off status. I'll look into that.

For IF withing the flows you should use also the light temperature.
