I'm seeing the same issue

I'm also seeing the same issue where I can change the color wheel in HA, or select a color temp, but it doesn't update WLED or the strip. It seems I'm only getting brightness, presets, and on/off control for the strips.

*For reference, I'm running WLED 0.15.0-b5 with WS2805 RGBCCT Strips (which are newly supported in WLED in 0.15, and that may be causing the issue.)

I'm also having this issue using WS2815 12V strips using Home Assistant Core 2024.10.1

Same here. I have HA Core 2024.10.2, the MagWLED-1 controller (ESP32-C3), WLED 0.15.0-b5, and a WS2805 LED strip (RGB+WW+CW). I set "Auto-calculate white channel from RGB" to "Accurate", and WLED correctly displays two sliders: Value/Intensity and White Balance.

In HA, color selection doesn't work (as above), plus it shows THREE sliders (color intensity, cold white, warm white) instead of just TWO (color intensity, white balance). Also, scenes including that light don't work anymore, HA complains about some WLED API error.

I suspect that the HA WLED integration doesn't completely take the WLED settings correctly, especially in cases with 5-LEDs (i.e., RGB+WW+CW).

For the time being, I could help myself making PRESETS within WLED, which seem to be called up correctly, except in scenes.

Would also love to know what's going on here too, :c

Same - I am using a RGB Warm White strip. The HA Ui was working when I had auto-calculate white enabled in WLED.

Also having the same issue, no controls are responsive besides the brightness slider and power toggle.

Firmware: 0.15.0-b7
HA Version: 2024.11.3

Same here! I can't imagine this being the issue, but the Home Assistant Language is also German.

[Mprice12337]

Now on 0.15 official release.

In Home Assistant I get two sliders on the color wheel page one for color brightness and one for white brightness. Neither seem to work correctly, as they both reset to whatever the preset's values were within a few seconds.

For the time being, I created two presets in WLED, one with RGB brightness set to max and White brightness at zero, and one with RGB at zero and White Maxed. Then in Home Assistant I've been switching between the two presets for RGB or white mode, as it does have control over the Color Temp and color values now.

Fixed this by unchecking the box “White Balance correction” under the LED Preferences section of the WLED Native app and then reloading the configuration in HA.

Seems that having that box checked prevents HA from adjusting color. Power and brightness worked fine.

The big downfall in this fix is it is now difficult to properly adjust white through HA as there is no separate settings for white like there is for other lights.
