Hi there,

I’m currently in the process of switching my hue configuration in OpenHAB from api-v1 to api-v2.  
I noticed that in the api-v2 the group things no longer have color channels.

However, this is the case in api-v1.

Is this a binding error or does the hue-api-v2 actually no longer support color settings at the group level?

That would be a step backwards

Thanks, Ralph
