Hi @FlexxFR,

The error says that the selected light entity does not have a color_temp property while the action was performed. This could be caused by one or all of the following:

1. When creating the automation, you selected the light by area or by device. For this blueprint to work you need to select it by entity.
2. The light entity was turned off when you pressed one of the temperature buttons. For the temperature change to work, the light has to be on.
3. The light entity does not have a color_temp property. Some lights that can change between warm-white and cold-white use the kelvin property.

I used the entity selection but used a "light group", switching to 3 induvidual light entities did the trick.
Now it's working 👍

Although, HA is reproting the lightgroup is supporting the color_temp.

min_mireds: 250
max_mireds: 454
effect_list: stop_effect, okay, breathe, finish_effect, channel_change, blink
supported_color_modes: **color_temp**
entity_id: light.eettafel_lamp_1, light.eettafel_lamp_2, light.eettafel_lamp_3
friendly_name: Verlichting Eettafel
icon: mdi:lightbulb-group
supported_features: 44

Is it correct groups are not supported?

At first I still believed it was not working because I was expecting a "step-mode" like the original IKEA mode, but it's working more gradually by holding the buttons. Great, even better :)

Great to hear that you've got it working now!
By the looks of it, the light group does allow a color_temp to be set but it does not actually report what it's current color_temp value is.

Hey Niro, I now had the Time to fork it, but somehow it doesn't seem to work.. I already deleted it, as I thought my edits were the issue, now I have a fresh fork but it still doesn't work properly.
I get the error "Error rendering data template: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'int'"
Happenes for the light color (color temp).

Do you have any idea?

The fork is here:

Hey again, I found the issue and how to fix it. When you select one entity, it adds it differently than when you add multiple. You have to edit the automation as yaml and correct it.

Wrong:
light_entity:
entity_id: light.0xbc...

Correct:
light_entity:
entity_id:
- light.0xbc...

Have a good day

Hola de nuevo, encontré el problema y cómo solucionarlo. Cuando selecciona una entidad, la agrega de manera diferente que cuando agrega varias. Tienes que editar la automatización como yaml y corregirla.

Incorrecto: light_entity: entity_id: light.0xbc ...

Correcto: light_entity: entity_id: - light.0xbc ...

Que tenga un buen día

Thanks! I had the same problem with the Ikea bulbs and solved it with your tip

replace every var_light_entities.entity_id[0] with var_light_entities.entity_id

Okay, can someone help me out here? I got the same issue with the colors. The Tradfri bulb has the property of "color_temp" but it won't change the color, always gives the same error:

I already repaired the bulb twice, no change. I can change the color using the dev menu or my own automatisation just fine.

Same here. Have you found out how to address this problem ?
