RGB Base device

---

Currently i’m implementing some plugins and it would be greate to have a RGB device that i can use in my plugin. Can someone implement it so i can have a RGB colorpicker in the UI?

Thanks,
marco

@disaster install pimatic-led-light. It has a RGB color picker in it.

I’m also in for a RGB base device, that other plugins can inherit from.
@developer whats about moving the pimatic-led-light colorpicker to the core?

Yeah, i’m talking about
https://github.com/philip1986/pimatic-led-light/blob/master/devices/base.coffee
and
https://github.com/philip1986/pimatic-led-light/blob/master/devices/dummy.coffee

Take I would welcome that. Doing right at MQTT Dimmer .
But, for me, it is inconvenient to adjust color in two steps, like in pimatic-led-light. It’s uncomfortable. A design this Picker is not much.

I like the color picker from Blynk (ZERGBA):

My two cents:

Before adding RGB base device we

• should have consolidated and agreed design for the color picker. @philip1986 is currently working on a new color picker. Please review
• should define different types of LED base devices, i.e. RGB, RGBW, WW/CW. Even this still does not provide the perfect fit for Hue and Milight.

For Hue white mode you may want to control the color temperature. For Milight a RGB color picker does not make sense at all imho as Milight does not allow for controlling the saturation of colors. So, for Milight a simple color slider like the following fits better. https://jsfiddle.net/WittigMarcus/p0xw0jks/

For something like hue you have multiple options:

@wutu
is this your pimatic gui?? Looks great

@n3ro This is Blynk interface with this bridge (Blynk<>MQTT). The interface is very simple but for smaller projects, perhaps not completely wrong. Especially in connection with pimatic. I have almost all the functional elements , but it’s very experimental for now.

The colorpicker @philip1986 has made looks the business. Would be great if we can incorporate this into pimatic as a base device!

Which one? Are you referring to the release or to philip’s current contribution on https://github.com/philip1986/pimatic-led-light/pull/52 ? Note, the released UI has some issues which had been discussed on the forum.

The new version is cool. It would be nice, if this could sliders displayed permanently.

I do not think to associate RGB with another channel is a good thing.
See my new ceiling lights.
