Fibaro rgbw controller

Hello,
I have a fibaro rgbw controller and attached to it a rgb ledstrip (no rgbW).
It works but I run into the following issues.
When i try to change the color nearly to "white" de ledstrips turns off.
It seems that it wants to send only the W signal and not a micture of RGB.
Does someone know if I missed a parameter in de controller hardware settings?
regards,
Robert

I don't use domoticz anymore but switched to Fibaro Hc2 and there it works just fine nut that not a surprice -;)
Maybe the's a setting where you can tell if there's a rbg of a rgbw light strip attached in Domoticz.

I am not quite sure but parameter 14 in the z-wave settings should give the option to specify the RGB mode.
According to the manual:
http://www.fibaro.com/manuals/en/FGRGBW ... ler-en.pdf
According to the Open Z-wave config file:
https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... bwm441.xml
First predefined program to use when device is set to work in RGB/RGBW mode (parameter 14)

Thanks for your suggestions.
I got it working, its almost a complete fix, and it is working fine for my.
You need to change to things, first i set parameter 14 to 14
then i set parameter 71 to turn on all when brightness is set to 0
This makes the strip white, when choosing anyting close to white. Otherwise it would turn off, since the W component of the RGBW is set to 100.
There are probably a couple of colors that i can't set, but you don't really notice.
If the system should behave diffently, i think you should be able to choose between RGB and RGBW in domoticz, when you edit the switch type
