When you turn the color lights on from the equipment menu does it bring you directly to the screen to set the color?
Yes, it does. After clicking to turn on the lamp, the first screen is the color selection screen. Something to consider is that the last used color is highlighted; it does not start from the first color in the list.

If the lights are already on and you go to "equipment on/off" and then click "lamp on/off", the lights will stay on for 5 seconds and you are required to click "select" within that window if you want to change the color. If you click within 5 seconds, you are then taken to the color choice menu with the current selection highlighted. If not, lights go off. Re the "turn light off and on to sequence thru the colors" in the Jandy manual below, the beauty of the RS is that one can pick the color from the RS list and then it will cycle the lights itself. Being able to directly pick a color and press a button via the plugin would be even better...
If it works like I think and it turns off, then that means you would have to turn the lights off and then back on to change colors?
One would not have to turn the lights off and on if they are already on. Just select the light in the menu and then get click "select" again in time and it will change directly. By coordinating button presses one can get the lamp to reset to Alpine White, the first color in the list.
From the
Jandy ColorLights manual:
- Code: Select all

2.2 To Reset to the Beginning of the Color Sequence:
Turn the light OFF, wait four (4) to six (6) seconds, then turn ON, the light will return to the beginning of the color cycle (Alpine White).
