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.

Colour Wheel and Circadian Lighting
This driver launches with full compatibility of Colour Wheel – the spectacular webview driver that allows intuitive control of your RGB, RGBW and tunable white fixtures through a full visual colour wheel, from any T3/T4 touchscreen, or the Control4 iOS/android apps.
It also boasts full compatibility with Circadian Lighting - allowing you to easily program a circadian rhythm for any dimmers in your project.
And better yet, you can even get your KNX coloured lighting driver licenced for free when you purchase a Colour Wheel or Circadian Lighting licence!
