Colorpicker and Color item Pushstart (Please help)

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

This is great! It didn’t work at the beginning since it needed a * wildcard after state:
It looks like this now:

Items

Color myColorTest "Color test" {mqtt=">[broker:/HA1/colortest:state:*:default]"}

Sitemap

Frame label="Colortest"
       {
               Colorpicker item=myColorTest
               Switch item=myColorTest
               Slider item=myColorTest
                          
       }

I now receive the MQTT messages separated by commas and no leading zeros; For example 35,23,67 or 255,100,0

At the same time, slider outputs a single value between 0 and 100 and the switch ON or OFF, as usual.

Now that I have this, I can use rules to transform it(so my arduino code handles it correctly). I took a quick look at a few interesting topics. Someone may find them useful too:

How to convert colorpicker to RGB values

Thank you so much for your help! Really appreciate it! Now let’s see if I can actually manage to make my LED strip work :slight_smile:.

IMPORTANT EDIT: I was confused! HSB stands for Hue(from 0 to 360), Saturation(0 to 100) and Brightness(0 to 100). It’s RGB which goes from 0 to 255! Important to keep in mind!
