another day another issue
as mentioned before i have set up hyperion as my exclusive "driver" for all my living room lights. When hyperion is not doing its magic putting the TV image to the lights i use the Home Assistant integration to control the lamps.
this works all fine and well. The lamps show up, i can turn them on and off and with the color picker/wheel of HA's own hyperion integration i can change colors.
The problem is: all of that only works at 100% brightness. The way home assistant handles the integration/color picker is via a RGB color wheel PLUS a brightness slider. Now while the color wheel works just fine to change color the brightness slider does nothing -- obviously because this is not how hyperion handles brightness wanting absolute RGB values
there used to be a different color picker in Home Assistant that would solve this issue for me (see screenshots) but the new color picker does not have white/black values.
long story short: does anyone have an idea how to add brightness controls to the Home Assistant hyperion integration? Either by bringing back the old color picker or some other elegant voodoo magic?
