Joel Spadin fa6f126012 feat(docs): Update power and lighting config pages
Moved battery configuration to its own page to match the feature page.

Documented that external power is disabled when in sleep mode.

Clarified that the *_START configs apply on first boot, and any changes
after that are persisted.

title: RGB Underglow Configuration
sidebar_label: RGB Underglow
---
See the [RGB Underglow feature page](../features/underglow.md) for more details, including instructions for adding underglow support to a board.
See [Configuration Overview](index.md) for instructions on how to change these settings.
## Kconfig
RGB underglow depends on [Zephyr's LED strip driver](https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/main/drivers/led_strip), which provides additional Kconfig options.
Definition file: [zmk/app/Kconfig](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/app/Kconfig)
| Config | Type | Description | Default |
| ------------------------------------ | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW` | bool | Enable RGB underglow | n |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_EXT_POWER` | bool | Underglow toggling also controls external power | y |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_HUE_STEP` | int | Hue step in degrees (0-359) used by RGB actions | 10 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_SAT_STEP` | int | Saturation step in percent used by RGB actions | 10 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_BRT_STEP` | int | Brightness step in percent used by RGB actions | 10 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_HUE_START` | int | Default hue in degrees (0-359) | 0 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_SAT_START` | int | Default saturation percent (0-100) | 100 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_BRT_START` | int | Default brightness in percent (0-100) | 100 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_SPD_START` | int | Default effect speed (1-5) | 3 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_EFF_START` | int | Default effect index from the effect list (see below) | 0 |
| `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_ON_START` | bool | Default on state | y |
Values for `CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW_EFF_START`:
| Value | Effect |
| ----- | ----------- |
| 0 | Solid color |
| 1 | Breathe |
| 2 | Spectrum |
| 3 | Swirl |
:::note
The `*_START` settings only determine the initial underglow state. Any changes you make with the [underglow behavior](../behaviors/underglow.md) are saved to flash after a one minute delay and will be used after that.

## Devicetree
ZMK does not have any Devicetree properties of its own. See the Devicetree bindings for [Zephyr's LED strip drivers](https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/main/dts/bindings/led_strip).
See the [RGB underglow feature page](../features/underglow.md) for examples of the properties that must be set to enable underglow.
