I'm sure I saw this somewhere but now I can't find it. I have three AP9X lights controlled by an APEX controller with IoTA. The Kessil app settings show five values - red, green, blue, color, intensity. The APEX control settings have six values - red, green, blue, violet, white, and intensity. How do I convert the first to the second? Here's an example from a modified SPS AB+ spectrum:

I need to translate that into this:

Thanks!
 
Hey there. Have you watched the video on the Neptune YouTube channel? They had Brendan from Kessil come out and explain this really well. Will try not to butcher it here but essentially 100 blue and 0 white is equivalent to having the slider in the kessil app turned all the way to 100 blue which is 1 on the kessil slider. 50 blue and 50 white translates to 50 on the kessil slider. 100 white and 25 blue translates to 75 on the kessil slider. I believe I said that right. You see the pattern? Anyhow, there is a conversion graph on Kessils website. Sorry I don’t have the link.
 
Thanks for the quick info! I haven't watched that video but I'll look it up. Yes, that sounds like what I remember, and that conversion graph is probably what I saw before. I'll go check Kessil's site again.
