Thanks for all this.
What does “missing RULE_ID” actually mean?
I’ve only got three items in my file, becuase I can’t create Group:Color items in PaperUi
Group:Color:OR(ON, OFF) gKitchenColorPicker "Kitchen Colour Picker" <colorwheel> ()
Group:Color:OR(ON, OFF) gBedroomColorPicker "Bedroom Colour Picker" <colorwheel> ()
Group:Color:OR(ON, OFF) gTherapyColorPicker "Therapy Colour Picker" <colorwheel> ()
I see this entry in /var/logs/openhab.log when I load the .items file
2018-07-17 12:50:03.518 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'Group_Color.items' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [1,88]: missing RULE_ID at ')'

The usage will be that I have 3 universes of DMX lighting in a room, which as an option I would like to set the one colour.
I thought I could create 3 x DMX Color (RGB) Dimmer with items linked to the Color element, that are then grouped to a single color picker.
Do I have to do it all in an .items file?
Like this post ?
Is there any way to control a group of RGBW bulbs similar to Group:Switch? Currently I do this by creating a separate extra color Item and a rule.
I also tried to set the group as a Colorpicker item in a sitemap. That does turn on and off the bulbs, but can’t change the color.
I changed the .items file to this and it loaded.
Group LED
Group:Color:OR(ON, OFF) gKitchenColorPicker "Kitchen Colour Picker" <colorwheel> (LED)
Group:Color:OR(ON, OFF) gBedroomColorPicker "Bedroom Colour Picker" <colorwheel> (LED)
Group:Color:OR(ON, OFF) gTherapyColorPicker "Therapy Colour Picker" <colorwheel> (LED)
And it appears to be working
