I cannot set the warm value

[fariazz]

Hi there, first of all, thanks for making this script! I'm using it to automate a couple of lights to have cold light at day time, and warm light at night.

I'm able to set any RGB value to the light bulb, but sending the warm command doesn't do anything on my end. I can set the warmness via the mobile app, but not with command.

Example of command I'm running: python3 magichue.py -ip {ip_here} -warm 150 it also doesn't work if I try to send the warm in a raw command. cool doesn't work either.

Do you know what could be causing this? No issues at all with sending RGB values or querying status.

Hi. Probably your bulb have both cold and leds.
You should try this:
"31 00 00 00 ww cc 0f 0f" where ww is warm value and cc is cold value. Both can be used at the same time.

you can also change lines 133-139 in magichue.py:

    if parsed_args.warm is not None:
        warm = hex(int(parsed_args.warm)).replace('0x','')
        values = process_raw('31:00:00:00:'+warm+':00:0f:0f')

    if parsed_args.cool is not None:
        cool = hex(int(parsed_args.cool)).replace('0x','')
        values = process_raw('31:00:00:00:00:'+cool+':0f:0f')

Or also if you want to use both warm and cool (interesting to make a mix):

    if parsed_args.warm is not None and parsed_args.cool is None:
        warm = hex(int(parsed_args.warm)).replace('0x','')
        values = process_raw('31:00:00:00:'+warm+':00:0f:0f')

    if parsed_args.cool is not None and parsed_args.warm is None:
        cool = hex(int(parsed_args.cool)).replace('0x','')
        values = process_raw('31:00:00:00:00:'+cool+':0f:0f')

    if parsed_args.cool is not None and parsed_args.warm is not None:
        warm = hex(int(parsed_args.warm)).replace('0x','')
        cool = hex(int(parsed_args.cool)).replace('0x','')
        values = process_raw('31:00:00:00:'+warm+":"+cool+':0f:0f')

All this because our lamp has a RGBCW driver.

Thanks @domisol ! I'll see if with these I'm able to revive a couple of lightbulbs that I got permanently stuck in the RGB mode.
