I got a few Feit color bulbs from Costco flashed tasmota it. Is there any node that I can use to control the brightness, warmness, and color? I guess the call service should work too but is there any document what exactly payload I need to send? if there is specific node it might be easier?
Thanks!
Yes, but it is not simple.
I have a couple of similar bulbs.
There is a tasmota node, but it won't make it any easier to control the bulb. It is more for connecting to the devices rather than their control.
What you need is a slider node. Set the limits and send the value to the bulb.
AFAIK, it is just a number from 1 to 100 (Percentage of brightness)
But you have to specify the channel / name of the bulb.
Not too difficult.
Sorry: I know I said it isn't simple at the start but then said it wasn't too difficult.
It is mid-range, would be a better description.

disclaimer: This works on my set up. You WILL need to change things.
Here is a flow I have to control one of my bulbs.
You will have to install the tasmota node when you import the flow.

EDITED FLOW!
Make sure you have the latest. Silly mistake in the switch node. Fixed now.
It doesn't have the slider in there yet.
But I hope with that flow to get you started, you can put in the slider to control the brightness.
(I've tried a bit and can't but I admit it: I'm dumb)

thanks for the idea!
This also may be helpful for you:
Tasmota chat room
(I hope that works)
They may be able to help with exactly what you need to send to set the brightness.

Oh, here is one I bashed up that works. Though the slider is controlled by the up/down arrows. (Don't know why)
(Solution: Tick the "only on release" in the slider node)

Of course you will have to change the MQTT broker and names used.

Did the flow work?
looks it is dashboard node? I haven't had any dashboard stuff on node-red yet, don't know how to make it work.
I ended up just send payload to a topic one by one, if I need 80% on red, in 2 steps, send payload 80 to topic bulb1/cmnd/dimmer, and send 255,0,0 to topic bulb1/cmnd/color. seems worked.
Is there way to send multiple payloads in one step?
I made it a dashboard node only because I wasn't sure how you wanted to enter the data, and a slider gives a lot better control of what is sent.
Rather than having a bunch of inject nodes sending different values. Though I guess I could have put 3 inject nodes sending 30, 50 and 80. You would have seen the light change brightness.
You can replace the slider with anything you want, so long as the output is a number and not a string.
But I'm glad you got it working.
it is triggered by other event, say if there is motion at front door, set the outside light brightness to 100%, after no motion 30 seconds, set it back to 40%.
