Simple Phillips Hue color question....

[itsjustmeee]

Does anyone know how to tell alexa to change Hue bulbs back to a standard "soft white" shade after colored lights? If I say "white", than it's more of a ugly florescent light color as opposed to a standard softer more pleasant bulb color. 

Thanks.

I think you can say "make the light warmer" or cooler.

Ah, cool. I'll give that a try.... thanks!

Hmm, that doesn't seem to work.

It might be tied to the room instead of the light. I'll try a couple of things tonight when I get home. According to the Hue website, it's supposed to work by saying "warm white" or "cool white" as well.

Yeah, I'm trying to change a living room with 3 lights associated with it ... not an individual bulb. It seems the only way that I can go from a color lit room to a standard one is with an app and not alexa. I can tell alexa to make the lights "white" but it's not a particularly pleasing shade.

I was able to say "set the entryway to cool white" and both Hue lights in that "room" came on to a glaring white. I was able to then say "Make the entryway warmer" and they did change. I was able to make them warmer a couple of times. I also tried "set the entryway to warm white" and it worked as well. I've found though that sometimes it doesn't work, and I have to say "set the entryway to the color red". Weird. Hope you get it figured out.

That works great. Now I just have to remember it!
