Script for color temperature command

[Sir_Rob]

I can use the script editor to get lights to turn different colors based on a different dimmer's level, but I can't get them to display a specific white temperature. 

I'm likely not writing the script command correctly, but I can't find clear enough documentation to get me there.  Can someone provide an example of a script that works for them?

Hello @Sir_Rob ,

You can refer to the documentation available online in regards to Automation Script Editor. The documentation provides details about how to create script automation for different device types and scenarios. It also provides sample scripted automation and details about different types of errors and warnings one can get.

Thank you.  I read through these documents prior to posting.  I can find the instructions for using color temperature as a starter, but everything I try for using it as an action fails with errors.

Here is the example given for the starter:

starters:
- type: device.state.ColorSetting
  device: My Device - Room Name
  state: color.colorTemperature
  is: 2000K

Can you provide a functional example of an action?

I'm with the same problem ! 

Do you get to finally work with the color temperature as an action?

[Sir_Rob]

No, I have not been able to get it to work as an action.

This works for me:

automations:
  - starters:
      # omitted for brevity
    condition:
      # omitted for brevity
    actions:
      - type: device.command.ColorAbsolute
        color:
          temperature: 3500K
        devices:
          - Light 1
          - Light 2
          - Light 3

Thanks. In the meantime I was able to make it work 😊

[Sir_Rob]

Thank you.  I guess the problem was I had not capitalized the "K".  Problem solved!

[holycacao]

Yeah, that has gotten me several times too. I don’t know why they made it case-sensitive

Holy cow I've been POURING the internet for a couple hours trying to find out why it wouldn't accept 5000k as an input. 

On one hand it's ridiculous and on the other I guess we gotta accept that we forgot that was the correct notation for Kelvin. 

Sigh... Thank you for coming back and saying what was wrong. Saved me.

I'm glad it helped someone else
