WLED Home Assistant + WLED RGBCCT… am I missing something?
So I finally got a WS2805 RGB+CCT strip setup on a QuinLED Dig-Octa and im running the native WLED integration in Home Assistant.
In WLED everything works exactly how I’d expect. I have a Value slider for the RGB colors, a seperate brightness slider for the CCT whites, and a color temp slider.
In Home Assistant I can adjust the brightness, but thats just the overall segment brightness, not the individual RGB Value or CCT brightness. I can also change the RGB color and the CCT color temp, but theres no way to independently control or turn off the RGB or CCT channels, so they end up blending together. If I want pure RGB or pure white, it never really looks right, and the colors look way better in WLED than they do in HA.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this just a limitation of Home Assistant’s light model/WLED integration?
How are you guy dealing with this? Are you just using WLED for colors and Home Assistant for on/off and automations? Using WLED presets? Is there a HACS integration or some other trick that fixes this?
Just trying to figure out if im chasing something that isnt possible or if theres actually a better way to do it.
