JSON Output for Home Assistant

[Peter Oudenes]

The MQTT Light config in Home Assistant has been changed/improved.
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.mqtt/

They use follow JSON Schema:

{
"brightness": 255,
"color_mode": "rgb",
"color_temp": 155,
"color": {
"r": 255,
"g": 180,
"b": 200,
"c": 100,
"w": 50,
"x": 0.406,
"y": 0.301,
"h": 344.0,
"s": 29.412
},
"effect": "colorloop",
"state": "ON",
"transition": 2,
}

Thats different then Milight_hub sends.
Im not technical enought to understand the difference, but it seems there is a mismatch...

Can you look into this?

[Peter Oudenes]

It seems there is a really mismatch. Im try now 1000 different settings but none show JSON output as above how HA thinks its sending by bulb.

[Peter Oudenes]

For example:
HS Color (hue)
To use a light with hue+saturation as the color model, set supported_color_modes to ["hs"] in the platform configuration:

mqtt:
  light:
    - schema: json
      name: mqtt_json_hs_light
      state_topic: "home/light"
      command_topic: "home/light/set"
      color_mode: true
      supported_color_modes: ["hs"]

HA expect:

{
  "state": "ON",
  "color_mode": "hs",
  "color": {
    "h": 24.0,
    "s": 100.0
  }
}

Milight Hub output:

{
   "state":"ON",
   "brightness":237,
   "hue":291,
   "saturation":9
}

So HA doesn't see the HS color and doesn't see the saturation.

Sorry for piggybacking, but my problem seems somehow related.
Home Assistant is pushing me to update my manual configuration that is currently under

light:
  platform: mqtt
  ...

to the new format which should be

mqtt:
  light:
    ....

The wiki seems to be outdated, as it still shows the legacy configuration (which seems to be unsupported with the upcoming version 2022.12): https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub/wiki/HomeAssistant#hass

Can I find somewhere a working example for the new configuration?

My confusion starts when trying to setup the new configuration in VS Code, as it's giving me a lot of red lines:

I would appreciate if someone could point me to a good starting guide or to a working example.

Or is this new configuration not supported by milight hub?

To help you out (offtopic of this whole issue):

this is how I did setup

mqtt:
  light:
    - name: "Balcony All"
      unique_id: "2b23416c-0030-4d99-af4d-99b8d8cf78ad"
      command_topic: "milight/0xAAA4/rgb_cct/1"
      state_topic: "milight/states/0xAAA4/rgb_cct/1"
      schema: "json"
      availability_topic: "milight/client_status"
      payload_available: "connected"
      payload_not_available: "disconnected"
      brightness: true
      effect: true
      effect_list: ["night_mode","white_mode","0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8"]
      rgb: true
      color_temp: true
      max_mireds: 370
      min_mireds: 153
      retain: false
      optimistic: true
