LimitlessLED bulbs actually come in three flavors: RGB, RGBW, and White. The
ledcontroller library used to control these bulbs only supports RGBW and White
bulbs. This changelist adds support for the White bulb variant.
The White bulbs are a bit annoying in that they don't support absolute
brightness or color temperature adjustments; they only support a relative
"increase" or "decrease" adjustment. This, along with the unreliable, one-way
communication medium that requires repeats to be "sure" that the bulb received a
command, makes implementing brightness control difficult. So, for now, these
bulbs are more limited than the RGBW variants and only support On/Off control.
This change is in preparation for adapting this component to support multiple
LimitlessLED bridges. Ultimately LedControllerPool helps to maintain the
mandatory 100ms pauses across multiple controllers so messages are reliably
received.
Add support for setting the color of a LimitlessLED light.
Currently this implementation is limited to the subset of 16 colors
exposed by the ledcontroller package that is used to interact with the
light itself. Technically the lights themselves support 255 colors.
LedController's set_brightness() method expects either an int between 0 and
100, or a float between 0.0 and 1.0, but the brightness here is an int between
0-255. Scale the brightness appropriately.
