I have some new LED lights for outside. Wired. They cycle thru 3 colors as you turn them on and off. So its like 4k, 3k, 5k, colors as you cycle it on and off. Is there a programable switch I can install that will go on,off,on at a certain time as I want the 3k color.

(I didnt know you had to cycle the power like that when I bought them and now they are all wired up etc)

Interesting. All the programmable LED lights that I have come on at the setting they were at when they turned off.

That just sounds like a stupid bit of programming.

There is not a switch that I know of that does this, but Home assistant or something similar would.

What brand? There has to be a way to change that.

Any smart home platform can do that. In home assistant, I would bind the main control to an alias/helper that then activates the on/off sequence. Platforms without helpers may get uglier but should handle “if turn on, then turn off and on again.”

Trying a "Switchbot" finger robot. $25 bucks, and it can turn a switch on and off.
