Hey guys. I'd like to suggest the implementation of an option on the all to allow users to more accuretely customize the color hue or white temperature that the colored smart bulbs and strips are displaying.

While we can use the temperature/color wheel or temperature/color ramp that is currently available on the app (wheel when editing presents, ramp on normal editing), this doesn't allow for a precise selection of particular colors.

 

Given that the color wheel, at least, presents the color temperature/hex code of the selected color even as we are dragging the selector around, my suggestion is to turn this temperature/hex code display into an input field to allow users to specifically introduce/paste a temperature/hex code for a particular color themselves, which would be connected to the previously selected color picker. For example, in situations were I'm customizing effects with 2 different colors, I could touch the first color picker, touch the hex code area, thus transforming it into a text field, paste my desired hex code, press a checkmark, select the second color picker and repeat the process with the hex code for a different color.

 

Best regards.

 

No hex code on main color ramp​​​​

 

No hex code when customizing effect colors

 

Hex code present when editing presents, but not editable/customizable

 

Color temperature info present when editing white light present, but not editable/customizable

Oh, sorry. I looked around for one but couldn't find any so I thought there wasn't one from before. Thank you :)
