Hi there,

I'm not sure about the zipato bulb, but the Fibaro RGBW-controller (often used for LED-strips) can be set by one of the following. I bet one of these could help you as well.
- A scene (commandArray['Scene:MyScene'] in LUA, where the scene is defined using the RGBW-device*
- Individual Set Levels for R, G, B, W (commandArray['device_R'] = 'Set Level 20'), if those devices are available for your bulb
- Calling the Domoticz API from LUA, see this post (I haven't tested thisone)

* Something to remember: You can't detect which scene is activated, so you may want to use User Variables for the purpose of changing scenes.

As far as I'm aware, we don't have a "Set RGBW" operation in LUA at the moment, although I'd love to have it.

Hi JuanUil,

Did you get this working in LUA?

I've managed to change the color of the bulb using the following command:
commandArray['OpenURL']='http://ip:port/json.htm?type=command&param=setcolbrightnessvalue&idx=IDX&hex=0000FF' --blue
use your own ip:port and device idx

But I'm confused on the correct way to determine hex values for the different colors. When trying the command in a browser The returned status is ok with any hex value, and seems to change between 00000000 and FFFFFFFF. But cannot find any real logic in why a value results in a color. Some regions of the hex value appear to switch the bulb off or to a normal bulb color.

Spoiler: show: the following were determined using the domoticz color picker
--7fb9ff --lightblue
--ff7f7f --lightred
--824141 --darkred
--ffee00 --darkyellow
--fff99e --lightish yellow
--9effa3 --lightish green
--19ff25 --darker green
--ff19e8 --darker purple
--db34ca --lighter purple
--000000 --off
--ffffff --on (normal light)
