Room Lighting - change color based on time of day?

Is it possible to change the color of the lights to the time of day? I would like to have it set to this setting at night - see screenshot below.

Green at night

In the morning a bright white light.

  • So Green at night
  • White in the morning

Set Up Lighting Periods should do what you what you want.

Okay - never used that but will check it out.

Thanks

How do I change the color to Green?

Click on the color squares, this will bring up a window and there should be an option for green or click on pick color

I clicked in color box and nothing happens.

Color box

That is odd. Can you change the color for that device in it's device page?

Yes

Maybe try starting from scratch and create a new room lighting for that device.

Okay will do.

It should look something like:

If that doesn't work maybe try a different RGB light and see if it can be changed.

Perhaps it does not work with my bulbs.

THIRDREALITY Zigbee Smart Color Bulb ZL1 4Pack,Compatible with Home Assistant(ZHA&Z2M), SmartThings,Aeotec,Homey,Hubitat or Echo Devices With Built-in Hub,A19 RGBCW Bulb,2700K-6500K Tunable,800 Lumens

So all 3 of those lights are the same and you can't change the color in RL app? I wouldn't think the device matters. HE sees them as RGB so it should work. I just changed one of my Sengled's driver to the Third Reality zigbee RGBW bulb, created a new RL and I can change it.

Are you using the HE APP or are you on a computer? Just thinking if you are using an app maybe when you are clicking on the color you just aren't seeing the color option window.

Just had another idea. Go ahead and setup your time periods. Go into each bulb's device page and set the color and level you want. Then click on re-capture for the time period. Do the same thing again for the next time period. That "should" set the colors.

Q: So all 3 of those lights are the same and you can't change the color in RL app

A: Correct I can not change the color on my computer. FYI I always use my computer.

Very odd. Try doing the capture and see what happens.

@bravenel any idea what could be causing him not be getting the color change option?

They mirror each other


My Goal is to have

Nighttime: A Christmas color like Green on one bulb and Red on anther.

Morning Time: All White

He hasn't posted on the forum since July 22nd. I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned that. I hope all is well...
