[Zwave] Fibaro RGBW switch on/off

Post by krizzz »

The answer to my question could be very simple but i do not seem to be able and find the solution.

In my kitchen I have 1 regular wall switch which regulates the power for an outlet below my kitchen counters on the Floor.

I would like to add a Fibaro RGBW switch behind this to regulate the LED strip and the power for the led strip.

Can i put the RGBW behind the power switch without any problems? I would like to Flip the power switch and that the RGBW module switches the led strip automatically to warm white. And Flip the switch again the strip goes off. In this way the RGBW does not het continous power. Is that a problem within the zwave mesh?

Powering off the Fibaro does not sound good to me in relation to your network.
Why not connect the switch to your rgbw module directly?

Thats interesting, although I do not know how to connect. I Will try and look it up.

I just want a physical switch for the warm white lighting and the WAF and then the options to have additionele colors within Domoticz if there is a party Image

@pvm is right. The Fibaro RGBW module has 4 inputs so you can connect up to 4 switches to it! Have a look at the user manual there's a schematic for it: Manual. See Figure 7.
