Philips HUE (zigbee) setColor API syntax?

Spett · March 26, 2023

Trying to set a Philip HUE zigbee lights RGB value but I'm confused.

I have tried both:

hub.call(289, 'setColor', 5,200,255,0)
and
/api/callAction?deviceID=289&name=setColor&arg1=5&arg2=200&arg3=255&arg4=0

Both give the same result, theese values gives me the color: 56,199,255

What is going on here, is it not RGB values that are set with setColor?

Anyone?

Is there a bug in this update or have it always been like this? I have not used setColor before..

The way it works now is that the values set with setColor are percentages of each other. (sort of, not completly tru but..)

I mean:

1,1,1 or 124,124,124 or 3,3,3 etc etc.. will always set bulb color to be 255,255,255

10,6,2 will set bulb color to be 255,203,124

10,10,4 will set bulb color to be 255,255,170

Is it a bug or is it another color map?
