Wyze Bulb Color - Broken color selection

[scealux]

I’m frequently trying to change the color of the bulbs to pure red (#ff0000). Though, the only way I’ve been able to do that consistently is through Google Assistant and asking it to set the lights to “Dark Red”.

With the color selector in app, the wheel won’t allow me to select pure red, green or blue and always includes some of another color. See below, regardless of where I select in the red zone, I just get some mix of red that makes a pinkish color (#fe0100)

That includes when I’m trying to set color for an automation…

In the past, the color selector worked for being able to select pure colors, and I think at one point you could explicitly type in a hex value, but that’s not an option anymore.

Just hoping to update the color selector to allow pure colors again!

I don’t recall ever seeing this for Wyze Bulb Color (or Light Strip or Light Strip Pro), but it’s been requested in the Wishlist:

Color Bulb set precise color & temperature

Currently, the Wyze color bulbs use a friendly but imprecise cursor on a color wheel to select a color. Similarly, they use an imprecise cursor to select color temperature. I would like the option to set a specific color through hex codes, HSV, or RGB values so that I can, for example, color match my favorite college football team (Clemson Orange, #F56600 and Purple, #522D80). This would be an easy, optional text input that could be placed right below the color wheel within the app. I suspect v…

More options for Bulb Color

The Wyze Bulb Color App could use some help! The hardware is nice, but the app is far from it. When choosing the temperature please add an option to type in the value you would like, e.i. 2700K, etc. Also RGB or CMYK scale for exact colors. It would be nice as well if there were preset values to major colors (editable of course) next to the “wheel”. There should be color changing scenes as well, fading from one color to the next or pulsing chosen colors. Also please allow rules and schedule…

It’s been mentioned as a request for Automations Actions, as well:

Add More Actions for Wyze Automations (Rules)

Color bulb “scenes” need to be accessible via rules The color bulbs aren’t new. Why have a feature that lets you set a color scene for multiple bulbs (like special colors for Halloween or Christmas) but you can’t use that scene in a rule for when they turn on? All you can currently do is turn them on individually at a set color/brightness but that defeats the creation of scenes. Plus you can’t test the colors you are setting in the rules and they don’t allow the use of Hex or RGB colors to make…
