Hi guys, I would like to have a certain Hue color bulb start a colorloop effect after pressing a button. The Hue card has a “colorloop” effect, but is there a way to slow it down: e.g: can I set a period after which it slowly transitions to another (random) color? A friend has done this with a flow that triggers the same flow with a random color card, but I wonder if there is an easier way? Thanks guys! ---

Think **no** because a Flow could only have (at this time) one Card/Device/Argument in the **When** -Section but you need two. One Flow for with your Button-Action in the **When** -Column and a second Flow with _This Flow is started_ in the **When** -Column to run the Flow with the Random-Color-Cards witch loops itself as long your Button is turned on. ---

This color loop is a build in function from Philips, and is unfortunately not changeable in terms of duration. ---

What you could do, is making a module yourself with a ESP8266 write the code in Arduino IDE which is very simple and thanks the possiblities of the 8266 you can control it with homey with the card: [https://apps.athom.com/app/com.internet](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.internet) ---

Hue also has the ability to create your own animations with (in experiments of the Hue app). Which can be selected as scene from a flow. ---

Hi Jamie, That would be exactly what I need. Do you mean the Hue Labs section --\> Living Scenes? I created one there but the scene does not appear to be in the “set a scene card” on Homey. Any ideas? Thanks! ---

You could also create your own hue animations - See attache ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/1/1ce725cfca97aa5bdbe2a802a5885be2fde01195.jpeg) However the absolute easiest way I have been able to create a colour loop has been using the ‘transition app’ - just create a transition which set the Hue and choose how long you want it to take. Most people use it to slow turn on a (dim) light, but same principal applies for Hue > **[Transitions | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/name.klep.transitions/Transitions/)** > > Flexible time transitions > [@Transitions — Flexible time transitions](https://community.homey.app/t/transitions-flexible-time-transitions/443): > > Transitions Current app version: 2.0.0 Flow cards to start/stop timing transitions.
