Smart Home ColorTemperature Trait Schema

action.devices.traits.ColorTemperature - This trait belongs to any devices that is able to set color temperature.

This applies to "warmth" bulbs that take a color point in Kelvin. This is generally a separate modality from ColorSpectrum, and there may be white points available via Temperature that cannot be reached by Spectrum. Based on available traits, Google may pick the appropriate mode to use based on request and light type (for example, Make the living room lights white might send Temperature commands to some bulbs and Spectrum commands to LED strips).

Device ATTRIBUTES

Attribute Definition
temperatureMinK Optional. Required if temperatureMaxK is set. Minimum color temperature supported by the light, in Kelvin.
temperatureMaxK Optional. Required if temperatureMinK is set. Maximum color temperature supported by the light, in Kelvin.

Device STATES

State Definition
color Object. Current color setting. Since a given light is in spectrum OR temperature mode, this object includes the current color settings in the relevant mode.
  • name String. If the color point (Spectrum or Temperature) matches a preset name on the partner's color list, return the name.
  • temperature Integer. Color temperature in Kelvin.
