API Priority setting | Color and toggle commands

Hey guys,

unfortunately I am struggling with the API. I have read the json-rpc documentation thoroughly however, I dont seem to get things working the way I hope to.

I have a few smart relays around my apartment. The one in the living room turns on various lights and I would like for it to also turn on the backlight of the TV (Hyperion) with say a warm white to accompany the other lights in the room.

In my understanding this could be something like:

{
 "command":"componentstate",
 "componentstate":{
   "component":"LEDDEVICE",
   "state":true
 }
}

Question

- Do I need to fire a second request like:

{
  "command":"color",
  "color":[255,255,200],
  "priority":50
}

in order to determine the color of the LED or can I combine both in one payload?

Question

- Now, if I turn on my TV, I would like for Hyperion to override the led colors to mirror the media content, completely ignoring whatever signal is sent from the relay, since when I want to watch a movie I'd usually turn off the lights in the room. In this case I would not want the LEDs to turn off

However, from playing around with the API and reading the documentation it seems that manual colors will always have a higher priority than USB input.

How can I create a scenario where the TV will always be given priority, and as soon as it is turned off, the LED behavior is handed back to the state of the relay with a pre-determined color (say warm white for instance).

Any help is much appreciated!
