Redshift not working (or i'm misunderstanding) #50

Closed dalexanderio closed 8 months ago

dalexanderio commented 3 years ago

I have my location set in lights-defaults, however when I enable redshift on a light it seems to make it quite bright and blue. Really, I'm not sure how to use this feature and cant seem to find any documentation on it. Is there anything else that needs to be done other than pressing "t" on a light?

There maybe some bulbs arround that don't have the capability to set color temperature. Here is an example how the configuration in "~/.config/lampe/light-defaults" could look like. Changes apply only after restart of lampe. 

redshift_options="-l 52.52:13.40 -t 12000:1000"

Please note, that I pushed the code over to GitLab, so this version here could be out of date. You could try the latest version from branch release1.1.11 and see if the problem still persists. This version requires jq to be installed on your system. When hitting capital I it can show some of the bulb-capabilities.
