RGB

This button function is used to work with RGB controllers. On button press a window is shown where you could pick a color and store favorite colors. There are two different Data Formats for transmitting the color value over KNX: “1 byte Components” and “3 byte Color”. With “1 byte Components”, the three 1 byte color components are transmitted in three separate telegrams – with “3 byte Color” all components are transmitted in one telegram. The latter Data Format should be preferred if available.

You are able to add a Switch Object (1bit) to this function. In this case, the popup window with the slider to set color is prompted on long press of button – short press is assigned to switching action. The time interval before showing RGB control view could be set at “Time interval before showing control view” under More Settings. You could show the current status (ON/OFF) of the connected actuator. The button is adapting state from KNX group address which is entered at entry KNX Address for status indication. This feedback address could be polled – if polling is chosen, KNX Address should be set as readable so that current state could be fetched by the app.
