The SmartThings stuff is mostly Greek to me. I'm not sure what channels you are referring to? The Z-Wave color interface provides access to separate color components, and I'm setting the red, green and blue separately. It also provides access to a 'warm white' and 'cold white' component, so perhaps the white LED is one of those. I can try it and see.
Still, we have to be able to control it via the RGB components or there's no way to make it work with the V2 colored light device class. I can provide separate switch/dimmer fields for the white I guess, which just look like a separate light. Effectively it sort of is anyway it looks like.
As usual with this Z-Wave stuff, it's all so ad hoc and inconsistent that it's difficult to make it work within a generic framework. At some point I may have to just give up on even trying to do that and just write separate code for every module type and be done with it.
