Hello everyone, Does anyone have a solution for a Macro for a random solid colour, which will not change, triggered by a button push. I’ve split my lightstrip into 2 segments. If I push a button I would like to have a random color at the current set brightness for segment 1 and a different random color for segment 2. I already tried effect “random color” with speed and intensives set to 0 but unfortunately the light changes over short time. Thank you all in advance. ---

I mean, the RANDOM function is already there, (R) in the color picker. Why can’t that (R) be saved like a color like a custom color? ---

Hi thank you! I already know the API command page and I have write two simple presets for my button, One for start an effect with red color and another to reset the lights, I was searching for the “r” (random) in the API commands but not find nothing, now with your command I make a test and let you know Thank you
