Hello,
my LED2109G6 goes only from 2202K to 4000K.
Specs said "1780K to 6000K".
I found this:
https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/23343
With LED2103G5 I don't even see a temperature option...
Should I just return the bulb?
Which bulb should I buy then? I wanted one RGB and one "normal" with temp+brightness option.
Thanks a lot
Issue with IKEA TRADFRI bulbs

IKEA TRADFRI bulbs suck, any recommendations?

Hue, wiz, lifx are all solid based on a number of opinions that have been shared here

In the future if you want an rgb bulb that does color temp id suggest looking for RGBW RGBWW or RGBCW, the latter 2 it can be kind of ambiguous but both can have a channel for both cool and Warm White while just W is always only one white Channel and uses RGB to approximate other color temps, while just RGB used only rgb to approximate all color temps

So if I understand it correctly RGB mixeds RGB channels into warmth, the others have channels for warmth seperately and RGB just for RGB mixing of colors?
So the warmth is somehow on RGBW/WW/CW pre-defined.

Essentially yes

Each letter should theoretically stand for 1 channel of color. In an ideal situation you have a bulb that has a cool white and a warm White Channel and mixes those to create temperatures in between

RGB + CCT is the way to go

My current Tuya bulb is going mad in evening/night in terms of colors for some reason.
It makes me think that bulbs from China are RGB + CCTV

CCTV 😂 probably they record some info and send it to China

Only Hue seems to use Zigbee.
Idk if I pushed myself into a corner by picking Zigbee, but it seems affordable and I was told it is more mature/fleshed out standard.

if you want some cheaper options, i'd look into thirdreality and sengled

Zigbee and zwave are great.

My only complaint about my Sengled bulbs is my own fault. I have the Wi-Fi ones and not the zigbee ones. Even through their own app, seeing them up was an exercise in patience. The Sengled integration isn't maintained any more it seems, and they do not seem to update their availability. So if they go offline you won't have any clue. They just stop working. And if they're offline when you restart home assistant, they'll show offline until you restart home assistant after getting them back online.

my complaint about sengled zigbee bulbs is that their endpoint and not router devices which is annoying but they still work fine despite that 😅

Why is that bad?
They are an endpoint and USB dongle is the coordinator or router, no?
turbid coral
well router devices can enhance your mesh network, endpoint devices dont do that, endpoint devices can also go to sleep which can sometimes affect responsiveness

Oooh, endpoint cannot mesh up.
Thanks.
Thanksfully 5GHz works pretty good in my home, but it still worries me that Zigbee could flood my 2.4GHz to the point of unusability
turbid coral
give this a read, it should clear that up a bit https://www.metageek.com/training/resources/zigbee-wifi-coexistence/

Just use different channels, but if you live in a building apartment the 2.4gHz is already flooded and there’s nothing you can do besides breaking into neighbors homes and changing their router 2.4 ghz channels to not match yours

No fbi here where I live 😂
