Can you make this plugin compatible with the Clear Light Bulbs Wiz Offers?

The clear light bulbs dont use the RGB and only use the Kelvin Temperature and dimming functions.

Hi, @Vic-Firth could you please provide some more information?

Do you mean a specific product or the Clear Light Bulbs by WIZ in general? Do you use a non EU version? Because I am based in the EU and therefore can't test my implementation with non-EU versions of this light bulbs. Which internal product ID you wish to control?

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

P.S. maybe you can give me a link to your version on the light bulbs you wish to control, if you're not capable of providing the information I asked for.

Thank you so much for the fast response. It turns out it only the On/Off works for the colored versions of the bulbs too. Basically it seems that the Colorchaning and dimming is broken for the Phillips versions. It's too bad you are in the EU, but thank you so much for taking time and being interested in helping.

These are the Phillips Branded Wiz Bulbs. While made by the exact same company, it seems they must have changed something inside the bulb in these versions to make only the On/Off Compatiable with this plugin.

Hi @Vic-Firth sorry for the inconveniences. I still want to help you as far as it is possible for me. I am unable to open your link, but I figured, if you use a homedepo-link your are probably from the US or Canada, so I searched the Philips website for customers based in North America and couldn’t find the homedepo number :(

But I still won’t give up, so maybe you can direct me to your product. I think if we find your product here: https://www.usa.lighting.philips.com/consumer/choose-a-bulb/products/bulb#filters=SMARTLIGHTING_BULB_SU&sliders=&support=&price=&priceBoxes=&page=&layout=12.subcategory.p-grid-icon

Maybe I can try to emulate your setting with a EU-Version of your product and all I have to figure out with you is the Internat ID of your product type, to add the support you wish to see implemented. I don‘t think Philips is using a different firmware, I think the light bulbs of Philips simply have a few different values for controlling the light temperature.
