- If the R, G, B channels change the value the new state is also transferred to the color wheel

### Software installation

- Install the RGB Multiplexer module via the [Module Store](https://www.symcon.de/en/service/documentation/components/management-console/module-store/).

### Setting up instances in IP-Symcon
