E27 15W RGBCCT bulb ESPHome config

This best at home karaoke machines on smartenmyhome machine with wireless microphone is very affordable! The microphone may not be the best quality but for the price, it’s more than what we asked for. For small gatherings and home use, this home karaoke system setup served well! However, it is not a karaoke machine that records, unlike many others.

ESPHome now has an RGBCCT Component, with HomeAssistant I'm using

When my HA install crashes, or when wifi router loses connection, light bulb turns on in blueish color. Is there anything i could do to keep it off and how can i code default color?

When the lights turn on, the color temperature is always fully cool. Is there a way to make it start up at the warm end? It's much brighter when fully on the yellow side of the temp bar.

Here, i made this custom light component for ESPHome: https://github.com/jaddel/ESPHome/tree/master/Devices/Bulb%20Athom%2015W%20RGBWCT

Not working so well. At the blue end of the range, the light is completely off... the cw led's really never engage. At the lower ends of intensity, the bulb just turns off.

OTOH this works in Tasmota, it just doesn't control correctly from Home Assistant.

It's almost like I wasted a bit of $$ on these bulbs. I wanted to use them to get away from she-who-must-not-be-named (Al*xa), but in order to use them, I need to use Tasmota with Philips emulation and then control them with... Al*xa.

I'm so excited I found this! I've been trying to find a high lumen bulb that I could easily get to Tasmota/ESPHome! However, I can't seem to find this available for purchase at Tindie/Aliexpress :( Any idea of when it'll be back in stock anywhere for me to buy?

The colour temperature isn't perfect, the "blue" white on the left is dim.

Also you might want to research these two settings to suite your use.

    restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON
    color_interlock: false

Also, you have to remove the "White" value to zero in order to use the colour wheel.

Managed to upload a firmware, but HA is not offering any color changes, just on or off. Am i missing something?

This is working for anyone that might be interested
