Send data do Z-way out

[Tomasz01]

I have a problem with sending RGB data to node out device Fibaro FGRGBW-442 (class Switch Color). Device command is RGB(rrr,ggg,bbb). Im testing many combnination of data formats:

• strings: "rrr,bbb,ggg", "(rrr,bbb,ggg)", "RGB(rrr,bbb,ggg)" , e.g. "210,100,100" - Error: Element is not a number
• array of strings: "rrr","bbb","ggg", or array of value rrr,bbb,ggg - Not change on device, TypeError: payload.split is not a function
• objects format identical as I get from device: RGB {r: rrr, b: bbb, g: ggg}, color {r: rrr, b: bbb, g: ggg} - Not change on device

I have no more ideas.

PS. No problem with sending value to other class the same device, e.g Dimmer 1.

I believe this is caused by the URL not being correct. I have tested the API and it sets the color correctly and there is no logging from this node so hard to tell how the URL actually looks like.

I would also suggest that this node supports the color picker format rgb(xxx,yyy,zzz) natively e.g. one does not need to remove the rgb() from msg.payload. Btw, Thanks for awesome work!

I made this as a workaround for anyone whom is struggle with this.

Hi guys, sorry for delay. Unfortunately I can't fix it now because my hardware is broken. Maybe someone can make a pull request?

Thanks for the reply bkorda, I would like to try but my programming skills in Node-RED isn´t that great yet =) I have posted the workaround I have for the moment. When i have implemented more of the flows i need, i could try =)

Will try to fix it, but have no device.
