Hello guys,

i have a question related to Color temperature feature for smart bulbs. Actually i have only ikea tradfri bulbs so i speak for them, i don’t know wether the behaviour is the same for others brands too or not.

i’m using homey bridge

Color temperature, as the name itself states, is a temperature usually measured in kelvin. Of homey (with ikea) i can manage it only with a %.  
Is there a smart way to manage the kelvin or shall i consider as 0% the lowest possible value and 100% as the highest and then manually interpolate? (the color temperature range could vary a lot for each bulb).

I’m asking this for two reason:

1. i need to set some lamps toa specific kelving value.
2. having many bulbs on different color temperature is just terrible and setting everyone to a specific % don’t give the guarantee that the kelvin temperature is the same if the range size is different from bulb to bulb.

Any suggestion would be appreciated  
Cheers

Francesco

Did you eventually find a solution? I would also like to do this in kelvin…
