ICC profiles in Wayland

Until now I haven't used Wayland because I need color management. Now, with KDE 6 and Wayland, I wanted to try to add some ICC profiles of my own. I can do this from Settings --> Screen (with wrong colors). But I can't have it done by Settings --> Color management. From the wiki I find the command, to get the Device-ID of the monitor (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles#Wayland):

colormgr get-devices

but I have no results, while in X11 it shows me "xrandr-Dell Inc.-DELL UP2716D-KRXTR91N517L".
Xrandr is typical for X11 only, so it is not strange that it does not work in Wayland; however on the wiki it is expressly stated to use it under Wayland... Is this a known shortcoming of Wayland? Does it only happen to me?

Hi apaz,

I get devices only if I login with X11 session
I tried on two pc's and it's the same
