ohItem slot type light

The 'light* type is the most complex type because its for lights with dimmer, color temperature and color functionality. Its based on the type switch and has the same attributs but extends it with additinal attributes:

Slot attribute	default value	optional / Mandetory	Description
dimmerItem	-	O	openHAB Dimmer item to dim the light (inside the popUp)
colTempItem	-	O	openHAB Dimmer item to set the color temperature of the light (inside the popUp)
color	-	O	openHAB Color item to set the color of the light (inside the second popUp)
effect	-	O	opehHAB String item to enable an effect. The item must have an option list!

Example for a valid effect item in openHAB:

//Effect lampe
String Effect_Kugellampe "Effect [%s]" {channel="mqtt:topic:mosquitto:Wohnzimmerspot02:effect",stateDescription=""[options="blink=Blink,breathe=Breathe,okay=OK,channel_change=Channel Change,finish_effect=Finish,stop_effect=Stop"]}

Example definition of slot type light:

    ...
    slots:
      - class: ohItem
        type: light                 #lovelace ui field type
        text: Kugel farbig          #Text shown for the item
        item: Switch_Kugellampe     #Switch item in openHAB
        dimmerItem: Dimmer_Kugellampe        #openHAB item to control the brightness of the light
