* Use color temperatures in Kelvin in more_info_light (#14016) @emontnemery
|

- Adapt homekit to color temperatures in K ([@emontnemery] - [#79713]) ([homekit docs]) (noteworthy)
|
||||
- Use Kelvin as the preferred color temperature unit ([@emontnemery] - [#79591]) ([light docs]) (noteworthy)

||||
- Migrate Shelly to use kelvin for color temperature ([@thecode] - [#79880]) ([shelly docs]) (noteworthy)
|
||||
- Update Fritz! lights to use kelvin ([@flabbamann] - [#79733]) ([light docs]) ([fritzbox docs]) (noteworthy)
|

|

Well, a small piece of history: The Home Assistant story started using Philips
|
||||
Hue a long, long time ago. And Hue uses mired for its color temperature,
|
||||
not Kelvin.
|
||||
|
||||
{% enddetails %}
|
||||
But today, Kelvin is much more commonly used. It is even on packages of the
|
||||
bulbs you buy. So, as of today, Home Assistant uses Kelvin too!
|
||||
|
||||
Also a [WTH topic](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-is-light-temperature-not-in-kelvin/467449)
|
||||
that was voted for almost 150 times! Why doesn't Home Assistant
|
||||
use Kelvin for color temperatures? Well... now we do!

<img class="no-shadow" src='/images/blog/2022-11/kelvin.png' alt='Screenshot showing the UI now uses the Kelvin unit to set the color temperature'>
|
||||
|
||||
Integrations that now use native kelvin instead of mireds: [HomeKit], [Shelly],
|
||||
[AVM FRITZ!SmartHome], [LIFX]
|
||||
Kelvin is now the primary color temperature unit. This means all lights
|
||||
and everything color temperature related shown in the user interface,
|
||||
are now in Kelvin.
|
||||
|
||||
We still do support the good old mired. Mireds are still working and
|
||||
automatically converted when needed, so this is not a breaking change 🎉
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, integration can now optionally use Kelvin directly if the
|
||||
device or service accepts that. [HomeKit], [Shelly],
|
||||
[AVM FRITZ!SmartHome], and [LIFX] are all now using Kelvin natively.

[LIFX]: /integrations/lifx
|
||||
[Shelly]: /integrations/shelly
|
||||
|
||||
The good old mired are still working as well (conversion is done when needed),
|
||||
so this is not a breaking change 🎉
