Hi there,

I noticed there are also RGBW controllers:

would support be possible? :)

I've ordered a RGBW lightstrip and I'll try to convert my RGB controller into a RGBW controller (one free pin unused). However, I don't know how to proceed with the firmware to handle the white channel.

  • Use the white channel if the RGB value is equal to 255, 255, 255 and turn off the others
  • Use the white channel as an independent light (ON/OFF, brightness)
  • Try to convert RGB into RGBW and vice versa (Home Assistant supports only RGB with the MQTT component)
