[Support]: Bright red bin lid cant be detected

[haroldboom]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi all,
I have spent all day trying to get swatch to detect my bright red bin lid. As others have raised I cannot use the color playground so I have been cropping the image and using online/paint color picker to get a range of colors present on the lid however, whatever I do it will never detect the lid. I have tried changing the color ranges looser and looser until it detects the green bin but it will never detect the red. I must be misunderstanding something. I have also change min are to 0 and it just detects random stuff around the bin but never any red. I attached the crop i took of the top to try get the color palette

your second screenshot indicates that it is detecting the garbage bin

Sorry I probably should have zoomed it in but it’s actually detecting a flower behind the red lid.

I think it’s my rbg config but I can’t get the color playground to work with my URL. I hit submit but nothing happens. If I leave the URL black it opens the color playground but obviously with no image.

what url are you trying to use?

http://ha:8123/local/snapshots/bin.jpg, just a snapshot file on my home assistant

it is possible that it is not reachable or not a direct link to the file itself

Ah ok, I will try and upload it to the internet and try that. Thanks Nick
