How to set up an RGB colour picker/wheel on the touch screen

Colour pickers are shown as a full page item after clicking on a widget/button.  You can configure the  triggering button to show an icon or a label.

Please refer to this article  for a more in-depth look at setting up a touchscreen.

Targeting

DALI Device Type 8:

Simply give the instance the target of dali device/group/broadcast you wish to send the commands to.

DMX

As of version 2.1.21, colour pickers can now communicate with local/remote DMX channels, DMX groups and system variables. To utilize this feature, you'll need to configure your RGBWAF instance's targets carefully:

For DMX Channels:

• Target 1: Red
• Target 2: Green
• Target 3: Blue
• Target 4: Intensity/Brightness
• Target 5: White
• Target 6: Amber
• Target 7: Freecolour

The channel numbering repeats for targets 8-14. For instance, target 8 corresponds to a second red DMX channel or group, target 9 to a second Green and so on.

When using system variables:

• Targets 1 and 8 will receive the red value
• Targets 2 and 9 will receive the green value
• Subsequent targets follow a similar pattern for other colour channels

An important consideration is the need to include "placeholder" targets for unused channels between the ones you want to use. For example, if you only want to send RGBW values to DMX, you'll need to insert a target (ideally an unused system address) in the fourth position to ensure the fifth target exists and can represent the White channel.

This approach allows for flexible mapping of colour values across different DMX channels and system variables.

Steps

Click on the widget editing button for the widget/button that you wish the colour picker to appear after clicking:

This will bring up the widget editor.  Click the button that you'd like to have a colour picker appear from.

Choose your action as enabled and the associated type as RGBWAF + Intensity

Scroll down on the settings

Adjust your icon (or label, if you're using a label)

Tick the checkbox to apply the application config to all profiles and select your application type as RGBWAF.

Click save, wait for commit.

Be sure to set your regular profiles, targets as you normally would.
