    This is fixed on the server, so you should see the full hex value now. Our plugin handled this ok, but I could see other plugins getting confused.

    The RGB light is successfully discovered by GH, but I found a bug. If you try to set the color to red it correctly sends "ff0000" as the ControlString, but if you try to set it to green the ControlString is passed as "ff00" instead of "00ff00" and if you set it to blue, ControlString is "ff" instead of "0000ff".

      I know this is an old thread but what JSON API call to set the RGB color?

      Alexa is calling the JSON API to select the color and then using a CAPI control to set the respective value to match the selected color. I also tested the behaviour in the HS Mobile app and this is how this also commands but for the life of me I cant establish in all the threads and documents what the json syntax for the first call should be. I require this to set the Fibar/Aeotec LED/Lights directly from an iOS app using a color wheel.

        Setting color is one of the few devices that use the string value rather than the double value for control. Use the json command "controldevicebyindex" and set the string to the RGB value. The index will always be 0 for this as color control pairs normally only have one control pair. But you can get the index from "getcontrol"

          Hi Rich,

          Thank you for the response and I can’t find any documentation on controldevicebyindex and therefore do you have an example of the syntax setting #ff0000 and is this available via ASCII?

          Thanks in advance, the support is greatly appreciated

            I worked it out and for the sake of closing my question:

            Code:
            http://[I][B]HS_IP_ADDRESS[/B][/I]/JSON?request=controldevicebyindex&ref=[I][B]DEVICE_ID[/B][/I]&String=[I][B]COLOR _HEX_VALUE[/B][/I]&ccindex=0&value=0
            Code:
            http://192.168.100.100/JSON?request=controldevicebyindex&ref=1234&String=0000FF&ccindex=0&value=0

              What you have is correct, I will get the docs updated.
