Sengled Tunable “warmer” and “cooler” voice commands

Not sure if this has been asked before:

I have tunable led bulbs from Sengled. I’m using the Sengled Element Plus driver in order to adjust temperature. I also use Amazon Alexas for voice control and was wondering how I should go about associated “warmer” and “cooler” (or warm, cool daylight, set temperature to 2700k, etc.) commands to adjust the light bulb temperatures in set increments. Haven’t done this before and was wondering if anyone here has accomplished this. Thanks!

I just say "Alexa, set office light (warm white/soft white/daylight white/cool white)".

I use the "shades of white" names as shown in the Alexa app for the particular bulb.

Unfortunately with a couple hundred devices and a brain like Swiss Cheese and others in my house, having to remember different syntax and device names can be challenging. That’s why it’s nice to have unified commands whenever possible.

The color names used by the voice assistants are set by the voice assistants, not Hubitat.
You say alexa set the office light to cool white, and alexa sends a command to hubitat of setColorTemperature(5000) or similar.
We have no control over the name to Kelvin mappings that are implemented by third parties.

Going by memory (a perilous task for me) here are the mappings used by Alexa:

Warm white: 2200K
Soft white: 2700K
White: 4000K
Daylight white: 5500K
Cool white: 7000K

Thank you everyone. Well, now I know. However I still wish there was a way that Hubitat could parse some custom commands to the Alexa integration.
