no stale. i like this feature

WLED support white channel calculation, see the docs. HyperHDR with HyperSerial* controller is even specifically calibrated for SK6812.

Hi @YeonV, is this still on the roadmap? 👀
I just flashed some tuya bulbs and because they are so weak (6w) using the white channels would be a game changer!

Internally for effect generation we use either RGB or HSV, and pixel data is transported internally as R,G,B arrays.

I don't see much of an appetite to redo the entire stack to support RGBW, however we could look at doing RGB to RGBW conversion at a device level, however I'm not sure how much work that would be and the implications for effects that span multiple devices, some which are RGB and some which are RGBW.

It's a tough one and I don't know if anyone currently contributing has a need for RGBW output, so it's likely going to wait for a PR.

This seems like a good starting point for some research, thanks!
