KNX Coloured Lighting

New coloured lighting driver available for OS3.3.0!

Overview

The KNX SDK provides many different datapoint types that could be used for coloured light fixtures; some allowing for use of a single group address, and others requiring multiple group addresses to be used in conjunction for a single fixture.

Providing RGB, RGBW and Tunable White drivers, the KNX Coloured Lighting suite supports each of the available datapoint types, with a wide range of configuration options, allowing you to set up your fixtures exactly how you want to.

If your Control4 system is running OS3.3.0+, this suite introduces native colour control for your KNX fixtures, from any Control4 UI; this not only introduces intuitive control of your fixtures, but also allows the creation of colour presets for quick and easy colour changes.

For RGB/RGBW drivers, this displays a common and familiar control interface for the end user, including separate sliders for red, green, blue (and white), along with a brightness slider for controlling all RGB channels at once, or a separate brightness datapoint.

For the Tunable White driver, the user is greeted with 2 sliders; one for brightness, and one for warmth.
