LIFX Documentation: Custom Color Loop through a theme

Feedback

Hey!
Great documentation for LiFX! I just stumbled over one minor topic (maybe I even got it wrong).

I was searching desperately for getting a custom colorloop running (following a palette or a theme).
I first tried setting a theme in an automation, followed by color loop, but it always reverted back to full color loop over entire color palette.

Two ideas:

• it could be pointed out more clearly that always the entire color palette is used for the color loop effect
• add section in documentation for custom color palette loop: I ended up creating an automation, activated when bulbs were turned on for at least 10s. It applies a color theme with 20s transition time, followed by 21s delay. This chain is executed endlessly until bulbs are turned off

Worked like a charm!
