Set color temperature without turning on?

Hey!

Is it possible to set the color temperature while the lights are off?

I have a set of lights I want to be reset to a specific color temperature at night.. is it a way to do this without turning them on?

That's known as "prestaging" I believe. Some bulbs offer the feature. If not, another way is to create a virtual switch that doesn't turn them on directly but runs a rule that checks the time, and if between certain times sets them to the correct colour and turns them on. You'd have to make sure that any controller you had that turns on these lights instead turns on your virtual switch.
