IKEA bulb workarround

[trilu2000]

Hi Luligu,

i am a beginner in terms of Zigbee2mqtt but also your automation extension, so apoligize if i am asking stupid questions :-)
The issue i have and which i want to solve with your extensions is following:

Ikea bulbs are not able to change color and brightness with transition within one call.
The common workarround is to split the call.

1. Turn the light on
2. Wait a short moment
3. Cange the color

The workarround ccould be done in Homeassistant or any other system.

My idea is that if Zigbee2mqtt gets a message to turn on the light, that it check if the called device is an IKEA bulb and it splits the mesaage by itself, so that no one has to take care of it in Homeassistant or Node Red.

Would that work with your extension?

Hi,
what should it be the trigger of this automation for the light device?

Just the turn on of the light, then you send another command to change the color with transition?

But how long should it be the interval to work ?

Hi,
yes, turn on is the trigger.
Then a short check if it is an IKEA bulb, if yes, the message gets split.
First message send to the bulb should be the brightness setting.
Then a short moment to wait 500ms, or so
Second message is the color change
