Okay so this is probably a non issue for almost everyone but I think I’m missing something obvious. I want a flow with the following attributes for example: When motion detector is turned on Time is between 18:00 and 20:00 Turn lights on Set color to … Here is my issue, when I select “Set color” I get a color wheel but its not the same one that I get when I just want to change color under my devices. I only get the multi color wheel and not the white one with different white lights, if that makes any sense. How do I find a light with the right white color and warmth that I like and then apply it in to a flow without this? ---

I think it also depends on what brand of bulb ur using. With Hue bulbs i can set whatever i want for white/color/saturation/temperature/hue. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/3/6311cb313de6ce9c96cf3b54fc5743336b7eb2a9.png) On the desktop flow app u can set even more: ![chrome_2019-11-29_16-44-27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/e/9e8c0dc7e519a1d04558f0bb96875cf4f9563a80.png) ---

Thats not quite what I mean but I think I can work with it. Ive done everything on the phone app so far I didnt know the desktop version existed. How do I get the specific color I want, is it just trial and error or is there a list somewhere for like “these values to resemble sunlight” for example? ---

Well, with 16 million colors it’s gonna be hard to make a list me guess. On the mobile app, best try it. Desktop app available at [https://flow.homey.app](https://flow.homey.app) ---

Yeah thanks I’ve found a bunch of colors with hex values, its all possible and much easier to change in the desktop app, which I didn’t know existed until you told me! Thanks a bunch! ---
