First of all, thank you so much for this awesome plugin!
As I mainly intend to use the SK6812 RGBW for general illumination of the 3d-printer with the torch feature, it would be awesome if the white channel could be addressed as well.
I totally understand that RGBW color mixing is a lot of work, maybe it would just be possible to set the colors with an optional alpha (transparency) value that would be used for the white LED, so that a standard color picker can be used and no logic needs to be done behind the scene?
Why should this be implemented?
It would be a really nice addition for user who want to use their strips for general illumination. Using SK6812 LEDs has the big advantage that they can just be controlled directly from octoprint without the need for a self-built mosfet driver. Also the UI and UX of the plugin are better than the standard GPIO plugin
