KNX RGBW Dmx on/off define entities

Configuration
1

Hi all,

i’m new to HA and i don’t know if it is possible or not to change or the knx entities.

My setup is a kny system with a DMX Controller, in DMX it is possible to control every single channel. I got RGBW bulbs with 4 channels and in the controller it is possible to set 3 channels to RGB.
Now if i create a switch in HA like this:
light:

  • name: “Couch”
    address: “3/6/6”
    state_address: “3/6/6”
    brightness_address: “3/6/8” # optional for RGBW lights
    brightness_state_address: “3/6/8”
    color_address: “3/6/14”
    color_state_address: “3/6/14”

Everything works but i can’t turn off the RGB. I can choose a color, this works fine but to turn it off i have to send black and this doesn’t work. Is there a way were i can define what’s happen when i touch the on/off button, like send off to channel W and send 0 or black to RGB?

Please keep in mind i’m a complete newbee in HA, a lot of solutions i found doesn’t work or maybe there are settings i missed, i hope somebody can help me.

thanks

Hi :wave:!
If the address: GA doesn’t turn off the whole light, you can try to use individual_colors configuration - if your controller supports that.

Hi,
thanks for the reply, what so you mean with individual_colors? Do you mean the config with single Red,Green, blue? Iv’ve got over 20 Lights like that. Thats a lot of Work 20*3 color * 2 GA and also in the ETS. Ist there No way to say to the switch If you send false/0 than send this to the GA too?

Or create a own switch with color picker and define what and when he respond? IT is a little bit enoying with all restriction and limitation.

Maybe create an automation that does what you need then :person_shrugging:

OK thanks, i will take a Look in that. As i said i’m a newbee and haven’t checked automatation. I got a full working Dashboard in node Red but want maybe switch to HA or maybe use the logic from node Red, don’t know If this ist possible.

But thanks for your reply, so now i know it is Not possible to manipulate the switch eather combine the response and i need automation or Kind of workaround
