Fibaro RGBW Controller setting strip wrong colours

Post by stuiow »

Hi all,

I've just connected my RGBW strip up to my Fibaro RGBW controller - that's all, i've not played with the configs or anything, just added the device so i can switch the colours.

When setting a colour, i get the wrong colour.

Its a RGBW strip.
Green wire to G port
Red wire to R
blue to B
white to W

The black wire from the LED strips is connected to the 12v.
PSU white wire is connected to GND
PSU red wire is connected to 12v (With the black wire from the LED strip)

Is this setup good?
Colours are not accurate.
Domoticz 3.5691.

Cheers

I know this could be a stupid question but....

Are you sure the red wire goes to the red led, the green to the green and the blue to the blue?!

I had a cheap led stripe that was wired differently :P
