But the green part of RGB only works if you're using their app
Edit: downvoter, please let me know what's bothering you about this?
From what I read, it's not a bug.
Many bulbs trade on the green LED for more variation in white. Red/Blue serve a function to make whites warmer or cooler, green has no such function.
And because most people use white, they ditched the green LED. That's why the green it has is more yellowish than you would expect.
It probably also means the bulb API has no dedicated green setting, which is why the remote and 3rd party apps don't have proper green settings.
It's a bit of speculation though, not entirely sure. Apparently older Hue bulbs also do this.
That's interesting. Funnily enough, we did try the one color GU10 we have today and this one does work perfectly.
Really? Huh.
I'm just using the PM2.5 and temperature sensors.
Unfortunately yeah. We've tried the E27 and green just didn't work. Thought it was broken and returned it, told them why. "Oh, you used the remote, right? It only works with the app, it's been like that for years and hasn't been fixed yet"
Oh so that's just a bug rather than a feature lock.
Im only using mine in home assistant that should act as an app anyway.
No, that's just the problem. We only use ours in home assistant as well and it didn't work. It's got to be the Ikea app.
Oh okay, I'll be sure to avoid then until they fix that.
