Z-Wave Upgrade for LED-driver with integrated dimmer

I have four LED lights controlled by a LED-driver with a 0-10V potmeter attached to it so the driver can dim it.

Now I would like to be able to upgrade this system with Z-Wave control. But I would like to keep using the LED-driver and especially the potmeter for dimming control. So it should be like: if you turn the potmeter then it just dims as usual but if you dim using Z-Wave controls then it should disregard the potmeter's current setting, until it is changed again.

Would this be possible, for example using the Fibaro RGBW-dimmer? (For example by attaching the potmeter as a sensor to the module, and the LED-driver's potmeter input also to the module, at a low voltage level? Or is that a stupid idea?)
