Bulb colour changer

[stueyhughes]

Hi, what is the simplest way of toggling through bulb colours with a button.

I have IKEA Tradfri bulbs and IKEA sSomrig buttons (sure the button is irrelevant). To toggle through 5 colours, I have this rule within button controller which works hreat but it feels like a clunky rule. Is there a way to toggle through colours without having to define them in a rule. Or is there an easier way of defining the colours without the usage of a dashboard?

Any help welcomed. Appreciated

I use @bertabcd1234’s excellent Dimmer Button Controller app to do this:

[RELEASE] Dimmer Button Controller (configure Pico to emulate Hue Dimmer or any button device to easily control lights)

Inspired by this thread and this post in particular, I have created an app that (I think) easily allows button devices to be configured to control bulbs, switches, and dimmers. This app allows you to: choose a button device (I wrote this with 5-button Picos with the "fast Pico" driver in mind and expanded it to work with the "held" events from the Osram/Lightify dimmer and later the "double tapped" events from other devices, but any button device should work) choose one or more bulbs/dimmers o…

This is what my setup looks like with that app:

I did the same thing with webcore. I had to enter the color names and/or HEX codes in an array to cycle through colors. Brute force, but it worked. But I totally agree. I needed a method of just incrementally increasing/decreasing the HEX codes. It just required a little more programming than I was willing to commit at the time.

I'd be lost without you @Sebastien. Thanks again!
