Here is a couple of good conversations relating to color changes with Philips Hue.
(both are quick reads)

A few issues you can expect with fades.

and possible solutions to your goals.

Thanks, I’d already gone through the first link and didn’t see anything of note. I’ll take a stab at the FAQ. I’ve messed around the with fade hue stuff with my outdoor Osram lights and noticed that Hue DH allowed for Transition to Color as a method.

Currently, I have scripts I wrote that call the Hue API to perform animations and such, I was wondering if I could migrate those to Webcore. The Fade Hue wouldn’t work for me, but the Transition to Color was something I wanted to test. I received the errors in my ST logs so I wasn’t sure if the function really worked or if there was a different DH I had to change my Hue lights too.

I have never gotten “Transition to Color” to work on Philips Hue bulbs.
The closest I have used is the “Fade to Hue” which can (theoretically) do the same.
(Examples are in the FAQ, although it looks a bit janky if the duration is too short)

Please share if you find a workaround for this, because I am sure others would be interested as well.
