Tuya RGBCCT bulb not switching to color mode from Google Home / Assistant

[Alfiegerner]

The problem

I have a RGBCCT Tuya bulb exposed to Google Assistant via Nabu Casa.

If I am in White mode, asking Assistant to select a color like Blue or Red (or trying to see a color within the Google Home UI) does not work, Google responds as if successful.

If I am in Color mode in HA color selection works fine, I can change color in Assistant, but if White is selected only white temperatures selections are effective.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2021.11.5

Hey there @tuya, @zlinoliver, @METISU, @frenck, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (tuya) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

I can confirm this happens to me also.

The problem

G125 RGB+CCT bulb and Smart Bulb RGBCW using the Tuya integration, if in white/colour temp mode no colour options do anything via google home voice commands or the colour picker in the google home app.
If I am in Colour mode in HA color selection works fine, I can change color in Assistant, but if White is selected only white temperatures selections are effective.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

The problem

LePower RGBCW Flood Light (catagory cs) using the Tuya integration. When running a scene or automation and the previous work mode DP state of the light is "white" then the work mode will not change to "colour". The integration sends the correct value to the api but when it comes back the work mode is still white.

If you use the color selector in the device selector then the work mode is correct. I am attaching a logs showing this behaviour.

Sorry Category is dj

[CalvinBroadhurst]

Same for me also

The problem

Four RGB+White Tuya downlights linked to Tuya integration in Home Assistant
I can control them directly through HA and change between White and Color modes but if I configure two scenes where one has white (warm white) and the other has colours then switching from white to colour doesn't work. If I have two scenes which both use colour then it does correctly change colours
Google Assistant (not through HA) will change between white/colour modes without a problem.

EDIT - Weirdly it seems that sometimes I can change between color_temp mode and color mode IF I don't specify a brightness. I originally thought it was down to using a colour_name rather than hs, rgb, rgbww etc values but that may have been coincidence.

[DjehutiC]

Exact same issue for me. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue, but on the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a lot happening to solve this ...

[Alfiegerner]

I ended up moving to localTuya custom component, works great

[mattlward]

I am having the same problem as others, if I set a color and brightness in the same action the light always turns on white.
I have several Tuya lights and this is a common problem with all of them.

Here is my full automation and a work around that works most of the time.

In this case the problem section is conditions[0]conditions[1]

[mattlward]

I to can confirm that device status:
{
"code": "work_mode",
"value": "white"
},

Is not changing when going from white to color in HA, but it does when using the Tuya app.

[santivanic]

Having same issues with tuya integrator on AH
Also same behavior using "Smart Life" app
I ended up using localTuya as @Alfiegerner suggested and color change is working as expected now.

[mattlward]

This is to bad, seems that Tuya cloud has become unsupported. These are the one set of devices I really do not care if I bring in local and localTuya is going to be a pain to set up from what I can tell.

[Phil-m-pinto]

Colour mode works fine in HA for me but if a light is in colour temperature mode, I can't pick a colour with Google home. Which means I can't walk into my kitchen and say hey Google lights turquoise. My light bulbs do not turn turquoise but my LED strips on my WT5 work file. I agree with a previous poster. There doesn't seem to be any response as to why this is. I'm on the most up-to-date version of home Assistant and using the latest tuya integration.

[danielyc]

I'm having the same issue but can work around it by creating a script that first changes the color and then changes the brightness.
Once i've got more time i will look into this issue and creating a pull request to fix it if i'm able to

[findel]

I'm having this problem now too. Has any progress been made?

I'm thinking of switching to Tuya Local (which I wanted to do anyway) to see if that fixes the issue. Anyone know if it does?

Maybe this should be labelled integration: google_assistant also?
