Hi sir, could u please explain what's the correct payloads for the statusRGB and setRGB topic? Does it reads a hex color code like #EBD7B8 or just a array of rgb(0-255)value? I try to filled in EBD7B8FF for the statusRGB topic, it appears obviously not work.

also please consider converting the hex8 value (eg. EBD7B8FF=RRGGBBWW) inside homekit2mqtt cuz this is what tasmota prefer, and somehow many of us are using sonoff devices with tasmota.

Currently it still needs extra work in node-red to convert the mqtt topic payload to make homekit2mqtt happy.

Thanks sir

Currently it should work with a string containing a 6 digit hex value for RGB (no #) prefixed with #. This works in my tests. I must admit that I don't know what to do with your 4th tuple ("WW") as RGB already contains the Brightness information (e.g. #FFFFFF is white at full brightness and #777777 is white at 50% brightness). Will do some more testing as soon as I find time.

I thing is better to include the # in the value, otherwise typeGuess will do a parseFloat for a hex value without letters (ex. 001180 -> float 1180) resulting in a TypeError

Oh yes, thanks for pointing that out. Added the '#'.
