Set Color Temperature

Is it possible to set the color temperature without having the lights turn on as part of an action? What I am looking for is a way to set up a series of timed actions that would queue my lights up with a different temperature throughout the day but not actually turn the lights on.....I only want them to turn on when motion is detected. I currently have a series of multiple automations set up within apple homekit that will change the temperature based on various conditions when it detects motion in a room and I'd like to offload these to indigo but when I tried earlier this year, I noticed a slight delay in the lights turning on vs homekit so I ended up waiting and only offloading my "turn lights off upon no motion" automations to clear up space.

What I'm thinking may work best is to keep in homekit a single automation per room that will turn the lights on once motion is detected but used the other values (brightness, hue, saturation) from what would have been set based on a schedule in indigo....this way I still get the faster response from homekit with the lights turning on but have more options and control over everything else from indigo.

Hi.

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately the Hue bridge itself essentially ignores any color change sent to a light unless the light is already on or you’re turning on the light at the same time as changing the color/color temperature. There’s nothing the Hue Lights plugin can do to tell the Hue bridge to “pre load” a color temperature for a light that is currently off. Sorry about that. I agree that it would be useful to be able to do that though.
