Base64 Code Color for Tuya Bulb

[gvago]

Hi,

Your fork helped me connect my bulb that is connected via hub.
However, I couldn't change the colors and found our (after playing with the IOT platform), that the code is in hex format and the DP isn't published.
While i can add the DP (11).
How do i enable sending Base64 codes translations of Colour.

examples

[
{
"code": "switch_led",
"value": true
},
{
"code": "work_mode",
"value": "colour"
},
{
"code": "colour_data_raw",
"value": "AHhkZA=="
}
]

Is green.

[
{
"code": "switch_led",
"value": true
},
{
"code": "work_mode",
"value": "colour"
},
{
"code": "colour_data_raw",
"value": "APBkZA=="
}
]

Is blue

[
{
"code": "switch_led",
"value": true
},
{
"code": "work_mode",
"value": "colour"
},
{
"code": "colour_data_raw",
"value": "AABkZA=="
}
]

Is red

after checking

hass-localtuya/custom_components/localtuya/core/pytuya/__init__.py

Line 41 in e0b7d6b

import base64

code with claud. it said "protocol 3.1 is what you need for base64-encoded color values"
So i'll check that.

3.1 made it possible to change colors. It's still doesn't match the color grid. but it's something.
Any help for less, trial and error would be appreciated. Happy holidays.

Before fighting with difficulties, first try an easy way: in the new automation, Add action, then select Light, Turn on. For the Target, choose device, your bulb. Tne try Color in RGB format. If it does not work, try Hue/Sat color and Brightness, for L in HSL color mode. HSL is the mode that LocalTuya accepts. HA may or may not convert RGB into HSL.

Thanks, that's the 1st thing i've tried. RGB and HSL. Unfortunatly, these bulbs are only getting base64 codes for some reason.

Is this BLE bulb?

[gvago]

Yes. Tuya Bluetooth via hub and localtuya

Lucker has implemented BLE supported it has not been merged yet but you can try it by installing this branch "add_ble_support" Tho I'm not sure how did you add it but in manual dps you will need to insert "0" in manual DPS field.

I'm using this fork successfully https://github.com/xZetsubou/hass-localtuya
And added dp 11 to be able to change colors as it wasnt published by the bulb.
And managed to also send the right command via developer mode.
The only issue is the base64.
Im thinking of adding python script to translate the colors and add it as a script in the automation.
But for now, I've got new lights that property advertising their dps and works well.
Still, I'm hoping to solve it for others

Yes as I said the branch above #440 (reply in thread) is part of this fork but with BLE supported as well, it will sends the color base64 encoded. however you will need to manually install it since it didn't merge with master fork. the master branch you are installed doesn't support BLE bulbs with base64 color.

[gvago]

Okay, thank you! I'll check it
