Not sure, I don’t own that light and don’t really maintain the app anymore. But just to make sure, you are using the Yeelight LAN app from me and not the cloud based one from Athom? ---

> [@Johanneso](#): > > I supposed to be able to use the set color card without triggering Actually when I change the color, it turn on the light - I think it was always like that. Also you can always test behavior using official Yeelight android app - I can confirm it’s the same also in official one. ---

Hello everyone, sorry for repeating my question, but I didn’t get a reply before. Is there a way to trigger dynamic scenes for lightstrips like in official yeelight app? Maybe through an advanced command? Trying to match my living room color flow, but yeelight strip can only be set to a static color using homey. ---

I did already answer your question. > [@\[APP\] Yeelights LAN \[needs other developer\]](https://community.homey.app/t/app-yeelights-lan-needs-other-developer/21134/125): > > There is no way to set the light to an existing color flow. You will have to work it out by yourself and indeed use the send command action card. Below is a link to the documentation which can be used to create your command. You will have to look into the start\_cf method. ---

Thank you so much for the file. I’m not really familiar with coding, could you please give me a quick example of what such command would have to look like? I will play with the values and etc myself. I would really appreciate it. ---

I’ve tried sending example request as shown in the file you provided: {“id”:1,“method”:“start\_cf”,“params”:[ 4, 2, “1000, 2, 2700, 100, 500, 1, 255, 10, 5000, 7, 0,0, 500, 2, 5000, 1”] As well as this: {“id”:1, “method”:“start\_cf”, “params”:[1,1,“30000,3,39,17,42”]} Tested while device is on. Doesn’t seem to do anything… Below is my test flow, maybe I’m doing it wrong? ![IMG_20231113_111020](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6ce593ac9c2584d963b5bd32c04a3e1b84245b9f.jpeg) ---

You are using the wrong quotes. You can’t just copy and paste it as it will mess up the formatting. You need to use `"` quotes ---

Looks ok, now start reading the documentation and come up with a command that should actually work. Perhaps even start with a simple on off command, just to make sure it works. ---

FYI, this works for me for simple commands : ```auto { "id": 1, "method": "set_power", "params":["off", "smooth", 500]} { "id": 1, "method": "adjust_bright", "params":[55,500]} ``` Sometimes it gets stuck for me and it helps, when you power off the light, then it works again. Didn’t experiment with start\_cf too much (it doesn’t work for me on my light) but you can read some examples also here : [Start\_cf command supports Color Mode 3 (HSV Mode)? - Yeelight LED Bulb (Color) - Yeelight Forum](https://forum.yeelight.com/t/start-cf-command-supports-color-mode-3-hsv-mode/514) ---

Thank you! I tried your commands and they do work, but unfortunately I cannot get start\_cf commands to do anything. I also saw that forum post because I tried googling some solutions, doesn’t seem like that person managed to get it working either. However, after more googling I found these commands that start default “scenes” and they do work. What I want to do is to start a “scene” that I made in Yeelight app and saved as “favorite”, or use custom colors through start\_cf command. Sunrise command for color device： ```auto {"did":"45452396","id":1,"method":"set_scene","params":["cf",3,1,"50,1,16731392,1,360000,2,1700,10,540000,2,2700,100"]} ``` Sunset command for color device: ```auto {"did":"45452396","id":1,"method":"set_scene","params":["cf",3,2,"50,2,2700,10,180000,2,1700,5,420000,1,16731136,1"]} ``` There is a [github](https://github.com/hphde/yeelight-shell-scripts/blob/main/yeelight-scene.sh) page that has command for each preprogrammed “scenes” as well. ---

Nevermind. After trying to input the command on my PC, it seems to work. I guess it was a formatting issue after all because I was trying to do it from my phone. Now I got to figure out other parameters and how to get them to do what I need. Thank you all. ---

Dont know itf it is possible in one card, but you can use the transitions function in the chronograph app for homey pro. And within one standaard flow this is alos possible (use the delay functions). ---

> [@Merlin](#): > > To turn on, need 2 cards, one to activate and another to dim to 100% That is correct, this method is setting all these parameters with one command is, and this comes straight from the documentation: `Only accepted if the smart LED is currently in "on" state`. ---
