I was using ZEN31 RGBW Controller for controlling RGBW Vanity LED Strip.
This ZEN31 toy just said Good Bye and I replaced it with spare ZV-1008 Zwave RGBW Controller.
The driver I am using is designed by @bcopeland
In theory this driver should be able to control all 4 channels virtually individually.
I have no problem to control RGB portion of the strip from RM. However I could not figure out
how do I control W channel. From the Device page there is a Button "Test WW" which is
turns on W channel. And of course, there is a "Set Level" button for setting Brightness.
So, in RM in order to control just W channel I have to use two commands:
This works but it is inconvenient and non logical driver behavior.
Or am I missing something?
I guess, the driver better to be a bit updated in order to provide cleaner per-channel control.
As a minimum It will be OK to have Custom RGBW color control in format #RRGGBBWW

UPDATE - Potential bug in a driver.
About 50% time OFF command physically turns light off but driver still reports ON state.
Second OFF commands clears this condition.
I'm sorry to say it's doubtful you'll get a response or a fix for this driver. My understanding is that this driver was created by Bryan before he worked for HE, and now that he does, he doesn't update his older pre-HE stuff. I had a problem using the ZW-1008 as well and was fortunate enough that a community member stepped up with a few lines of code to fix the issue.
Oh, maybe this is a case.
I have a workaround in RM rule. I will see if I will be able to fix a bit this driver myself.
I guess, the templates for all commands is already in a driver. And my good guess,
the fix/update should not be very difficult.
