Hi,

I don't understand how you connect the rgbcct strip to Tradfri Gateway. What kind of strip is this?

camatthew commented 5 years ago

gledopto controller with generic rgcct strip. It works with ikea applications.

i'm not sure if this can be considered a bug in hue emulator because Ikea tradfri exposed api is very limited and this my be a limitation. At the time when i add support for tradfri gateway it was possible to set just 3 color temperatures to tradfri CCT bulbs (despite the bulbs are ZigBee compatible and support all CT modes) and for this reason i was forced to create condition to play with just 3 values:

elif key == "ct":
                    if value < 270:
                        payload["5706"] = "f5faf6"
                    elif value < 385:
                        payload["5706"] = "f1e0b5"
                    else:
                        payload["5706"] = "efd275"

I see just one quick and expensive option, buy the Raspbee module and decommission the Tradfri Gateway.

i only need 3 color temputures, nothing else

camatthew commented 5 years ago

how do i set it to those three options then

camatthew commented 5 years ago

or seperate warm white and cold white into seperate one color bulbs. also changing temputure doesent activate white leds.

I don't know, try first to see if is possible with pytradfri. My feeling is that you cannot control them because Ikea don't have any rgb-cct bulb and their implementation is very basic.

Closing as the issue is a limitation of the Tradfri hub. Use the Raspbee module as a possible fix. If pytradfri offers a solution, reopen this issue.
