Pair the RGB Light to the Controller
A. If it's a Zigbee RGB light:
-
Put your light in pairing mode
Usually done by toggling the light on/off 5 times or long-pressing a button. -
Open your controller app (e.g., Home Assistant with Zigbee2MQTT)
-
Go to Devices > Add Device or Start Pairing
-
The light will appear as a new device, e.g.,
RGB Light XYZ
-
Assign it to a room or name it
B. If it's a Wi-Fi RGB light (e.g., Tuya or Tasmota-based):
-
Use the manufacturer’s app to connect it to your Wi-Fi
-
Enable local control if needed (like via Tuya Local or Tasmota/MQTT)
-
Add the device into Home Assistant using integration (e.g., Tuya, MQTT, ESPHome)
