Overview Block colour selector Scene RGBW

With this control element a coloured light runs through a sequence of several colours – for a garden party, for instance, or as mood lighting. Each colour is held for an adjustable time, on request with a smooth fade; at the end the sequence stops or starts again from the beginning.

Operation

Colour picker scene on the page
  1. Top row: a tap opens the dialog.
  2. Circle: a tap starts or stops the sequence. While the sequence is running the coloured ring turns; the centre shows the colour currently being output.

As a circle (basic screen) a short tap starts or stops the sequence, only holding for 0.7 seconds opens the dialog. If the element is set up that way, every tap opens the dialog there.

The dialog

The dialog - list of colours

The dialog shows the colours of the sequence in their order. If there are more than four, the list can be scrolled with the finger.

  1. Clock, presence – the two symbols in the title bar, see below.
  2. Tap a row: opens the colour for editing. The row shows number and colour, followed by the Time color and in brackets the Time fade.
  3. Arrows: move the colour up or down in the order.
  4. Add: appends a new colour and opens the colour selection straight away. This only works while there is a connection to the controller.
  5. Start / stop: starts or stops the sequence; blue background while it is running.
  6. Repeat: a blue background means the sequence starts again from the beginning after the last colour. Otherwise it ends with the last colour – which stays on.
  7. Save: applies the order, new and changed colours and closes the dialog. Closing the dialog with the cross discards these changes.

Editing a colour

Editing a colour
  1. Colour: a tap opens the colour selection, including the white share.
  2. Time color: this step lasts this many seconds before the next colour begins; at least 1 second.
  3. Time fade: for this many seconds at the start of the step the light fades smoothly from the previous colour to this one. The fade is part of the Time color and can therefore be at most as long. 0 switches immediately.
  4. Wastebasket: deletes this colour from the sequence.

Back returns to the list; the changes are applied only with Save in the list.

Switching times and presence

Behind the clock are switching times that start or stop the sequence at a certain time. Behind the house you define for each presence state whether anything is switched when changing to it (tap the symbol) and whether the sequence then starts or stops (tap Start / Stop). Both are described in detail under Presence.


Setup

This section is meant for the installer of the system.

The control element is linked to the function block Block scene colour selector RGBW: first create the function block including its variables, then right-click the control element and select the function block. See also Presence.

Parameters

Display
Scene selection Defines whether the element can be selected in the control element Block Scene group. Default: on.
View Block (tile) or Basic screen (circle).
Text Caption of the tile. Its size scales with the element, a line break is inserted with \n, at most two lines.
Switching in basic screen Only visible with the view basic screen, default: on. When ticked, a short tap starts or stops the sequence and holding for 0.7 seconds opens the dialog. When not ticked, every tap opens the dialog.

Tip: If the transparency of the element is 0, a tap anywhere on it opens the dialog in the view block. This way the element can be laid invisibly over an image.

Variable links

All variables sit at the function block.
