How can I make one controller appear as two bulbs to homebridge? #39

I have a XCSOURCE DC 12-24V iOS Android WIFI Remote 5 Channels Controller for RGB LED Strip LD686 and a strip of LEDs. I've gotten it to basically work (kind of) using

{
"bridge": {
    "name": "Homebridge",
    "username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:30",
    "port": 51826,
    "pin": "031-45-154"
},

"description": "This is an example configuration file with one fake accessory and one fake platform. You can use this as a template for creating your own configuration file containing devices you actually own.",

"accessories": [
   {
       "accessory": "MagicHome",
       "name": "LED Strip",
       "ip" : "192.168.88.224",
       "setup" : "RGBWW",
       "purewhite" : true
   }
]
}

However - it makes much more sense to me to have the device appear as TWO LED strips - one that would control brightness of the White alone, and one that would do the color.

Is there a way to fake this?

Thats a great idea. It could work with warm white and cold white.
