inten_x_d ‘ x ’ = zone number, output intensity (dim level)
‘ d ’ = intensity 1 - 10

colour_x_c ‘ x ’ = zone number, ‘ c ’ = colour code 1 - 16

1. Ensure all messages are terminated with ‘\ r\n ’ character
2. ‘ x ’ is the Zone number (1 - 29) without preceding ‘0’
3. ‘ d ’ is the intensity (dim) level min ‘1’= 10% to max ‘10’ = 100%
