Groups don't turn on RGBW devices

[LastSamurai]

Hi,
I have several mysensor RGBW devices running with domoticz. I created a group to control them all together but I do have 2 problems with this:

1)
Shutting down the group sends an off command (like it should be) but turning on sends color and dimming values but no "on" command. I could work around it by just assuming every color send means on but thats not how it should be in my opinion.
Possible fix: also send a message type 2 (V_STATUS in mysensors) with the on command

2)
There seems to be no way to control the color / dimming for a group. I can only turn it on and off. Did I overlook something?
Possible fix: like the on/off just add a color picker and send the values to all devices

I opened a ticked for the first problem here (https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/712) but it got closed already.

Oh, right, sorry I forgot my old post. Yeah it's the same problem but I found the reason now.
This should be be kind of a bugreport. Hope that someone will fix this as it would really improve the usability for me
Should I add the information to my old post? Or can someone move this if the crosspost isn't wanted?

This is no bug.

1) This is how it should work, and also work with all ZWave RGB(W) devices, just sending the color will turn them on
2) You specify the color in the group. This is how it's implemented.

You probably want a new feature, a 'color' group ? Please make a request on our github page if you want to, and you/someone could add this

Ok, I still think its kinda odd but I see your reasoning.
Regarding the color group: should I open an issue, or create an (empty, cause I don't really know how to change this at the moment) pull request?

Best to create a git pull request with the new code
