XY Color Space Implementation Summary
Changes Made to EntityControl.qml
1. Added XY Color Space Properties
supportsXy: Detects XY color mode supportcurrentXyColor: Current XY coordinates from entity statecurrentHue: Converted hue value (0-360°)currentSaturation: Converted saturation value (0-1)
2. Updated Advanced Controls Detection
- Modified
hasAdvancedControlsto includesupportsXy
3. New XY Color Control UI Section
// XY Color Control (CIE 1931) with HUE Slider
ColumnLayout {
visible: supportsXy && isOn
// Hue slider with rainbow gradient
// Saturation slider with dynamic gradient
// XY color preset buttons (6 colors)
// Current XY color indicator
}
4. Added Entity Information Display
- Shows current XY coordinates in format “(x.xxxx, y.yyyy)”
- Only visible when XY color data is available
5. Implemented Color Conversion Functions
xyToRgb(x, y): XY to RGB conversion with proper sRGB transformationxyToRgbColor(x, y): XY to Qt color objectxyToHue(x, y): XY to HSV hue conversionxyToSaturation(x, y): XY to HSV saturation conversionhueToXy(hue, saturation): HSV to XY conversionhueToRgbColor(hue): Hue to RGB color for gradients
6. Updated Import Statements
- Fixed missing version numbers in Qt/KDE imports
Key Features
Hue Slider
- Range: 0-360 degrees
- Rainbow gradient background showing color spectrum
- Real-time XY coordinate updates on change
Saturation Slider
- Range: 0-100%
- Gradient from white to current hue at full saturation
- Dynamic gradient updates based on current hue
Color Presets
- 6 carefully chosen XY coordinates for common colors
- Visual highlight when current color matches preset
- Tooltips showing color name and XY coordinates
Current Color Display
- Shows current XY coordinates with 4-decimal precision
- Color preview rectangle with proper text contrast
- Automatically calculates best text color (black/white)
Technical Implementation
Color Space Accuracy
- Uses proper CIE 1931 XY chromaticity coordinates
- sRGB transformation matrices for accurate conversion
- Gamma correction for proper color representation
- D65 white point as fallback ([0.3127, 0.3290])
Performance Optimizations
- Color conversions only calculated when needed
- Slider value clamping to valid ranges
- Efficient gradient generation for smooth UI
Home Assistant Integration
- Sends
xy_colorparameter to light.turn_on service - Compatible with Philips Hue, LIFX, and other XY-capable lights
- Maintains compatibility with existing RGB/CCT modes
Files Created
XY_COLOR_DOCUMENTATION.md- Comprehensive documentationXY_COLOR_EXAMPLES.js- Usage examples and test code
Compatibility
- Works with existing EntityControl configurations
- Automatically shows/hides based on light capabilities
- No breaking changes to existing functionality
- Supports lights with multiple color modes (RGB + XY + CCT)
Testing
- Mock entity state examples provided
- Color conversion test functions included
- Common XY coordinates reference table
- Gamut validation foundation for future enhancements
