Startup Color

The initial color shown after boot can be configured using the config parameter color/startup_color. When the value is last then the the controller will regularly save the current color to the flash and will restore this last seen color upon boot.

Otherwise the value has to be a color string matching the format <hue>,<sat>,<val> or <hue>,<sat>,<val>,<ct>. This will result in a fixed color which is shown on every boot. In this mode no color states will be written to flash at runtime.

NOTE: Currently only HSV colors are supported.Raw colors are not supported and the last seen HSV color will be used in that case.

WARNING for firmwares vbs33b to vbs35b When supplying a malformed color string then it will crash the controller resulting in an infinite boot loop which needs to be fixed by a serial flash. So make sure to only supply a color string in the format described above!
