For those following this thread, Color control from Alexa is working now, with some help form HST (Thanks!)
In the next release, coming soon color control will work properly. With extra thanks to Aleksander!

when you add a rgbw light you have like 3-4 new devices associated. The first one is the root. You have to anable the root of the rgwb devices by cheking the ‘’voice’’ option . If it is not clear i will post a picture tonight

Any solution for this? I still can't get any colour support on hue or deconz gateway (hue RGB or IKEA RGB).
I know Alexa support colour control. Is it just a setting I'm missing enabling rgb bulbs tgrouth this plug-in?

For the moment I'm just accepting that for certain things (Color bulb support) I have use direct Alexa/Google connection and not go through HS3. It's a shame.

I have a LIFX bulb on order but that won't help with this testing.

You can also try to enable detailed tracing in the config ( + log to file) and perform some voice commands for on/off as well as color. Then disable the trace again and send me the JowiHue.log file (from hs3 install directory\Logs).
The I can have a look if the color command reaches the plugin. The on/off command is for me to have a working comparison.
Send the file to w dot vuyk at upcmail dot nl?
Thanks,

The title should be updated to be Alexa OR Google Home. I just did a test with the RGBW light with Google Home and no color control with Google either.
Does Color Control just not work with any voice control?

Sorry I cannot help you out there still. I have updated the plugin as Rich announced the availability of the ControlUse "Color Control" as condition to have color control for Alexa in a plugin. I have added this and also prepared code for hexadecimal input on devices.
But cannot test it as the skill is still only for the US and also Alexa does not know a word in Dutch
I hope someone else can chime in or we have to find a way to see if mentioning colors reaches the plugin somehow where we can trace things?

If I could ever get these 2 bulbs to pair with my Hue bridge it wouldn't be a problem, but for whatever reason (probably their firmware) I have never been able to get them to pair with my Hue bridge. Oh well... they pair just fine with my Echo Plus.
