Newbee here again… I have a Paulmann Plug&Shine outdoor 24v system with RGBW leds. These work perfectly with the HUE bridge and I can modify the colors with the Hue app. Without utilizing the Hue bridge (which I would like to leave out of the configuration), I have successfully connected the lamps to Homey using multiple Zigbee apps (Hue, Innr, Osram, etc.), but I have not found the possibility to modify the colors. Am I missing something or is this not possible? Thanks and a great New Years celebration. Jeffrey ---

It sounds like the device is being added to Homey as a Simple Zigbee Device (which happens if you add it without there being an app for the _specific_ device installed); in other words, it would only support on/off, but no dimming or color modifications. ---

yes, it is being identified as a simple Zigbee device…
