The controller does not let you keep the led ring turned on.  
It just shows a colour when pressend. Not sure if it should be able though. Is it a bug or a feature (to safe battery if powered by battery)

The color when i puch the button cant be change. I did this in the setrings menu but don’t work.

I connected the controller to 24v so i can turn the led on. In the manual they say.

always on (external supply) mode.

But keep trying and hope to find a solutions.
