I've setup a RGB LED strip that runs off one of those modded ESP8266 controllers, which I've been controlling from HS using the MQTT plug-in.
I've gotten it to work perfectly as a simple light (on/off) using a virtual device tied to MQTT events.
But is there a way to create a virtual RGB device that I can use to control it's colour (e.g. in the status properties have a whole list of colours that are each tied to a specific MQTT command, like 'Red' triggers and event that publishes an MQTT messages with R=255, etc)?
I'd then like to be able to use that device in an HSTouch screen, so it would be nice if the virtual device could be controlled from a colour picker.
Or is there a plug-in that would simplify the whole process?
