KNX Coloured Lighting

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.

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.
