Hi, i have this controller

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/16Million-colors-Wifi-5channels-RGBW-WW-CW-led-controller-smartphone-control-music-and-timer-mode-magic/32792842998.html

With this led strip

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5M-10M-Dual-Color-CRI-95-SMD2835-CCT-Dimmable-LED-Strip-Light-24V-DC-WW-CW/32909420564.html

I setup the plugin using this parameters

"platforms": [ { "platform": "MagicHome-Platform", "debug": true, "disableDiscovery": true, "lights": [ { "name": "LEDStrip", "ip": "192.168.0.216", "setup": "RGBWW", "purewhite": false, "timeout": 0 } ] } ]

The HomeKit accesory only turns on and off the strip, changing brightness and color temperature don't work. Every is fine with the Magic Home App.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Have you tried setting pure white to true? If it's rgbww, it should support pure white.

Also consider changing the settings from rgbww to RGBW, RGB, RGBWWv3, etc. I had to do this until mine decided to work, turns out my LEDs were actually only RGB

I read into your lights more, I didn't realize at first that you're just using color temperature changing lights, not RGB, you should try changing your config to RGB or RGBW. Alternatively, this plugin supports single-channel LEDs

I guess you could also try my earlier suggestion of setting purewhite to true combined with RGBWW.
