RGBW Controller as 0..10V sensor not working

[pls90 0]

I have setup the RGBW controller as follows

- parameter 14: 34952 (= 8888hex, channels 1 to 4 as analog inputs )

- parameter 42: 1 (command class reporting outputs status change)

- parameter 43: 1 (input change threshold = 0.1V)

- parameter 44: 5 (load reporting frquency = 5s)

I use 2 sensors, one for wind speed, one for light.

The sensors are attached to 24V power supply and work correctly:

- no light: 0V output, some light: >0V output

If no sensor is attached to RGBW the voltage on input pin is 10V, which is OK.

I measure the voltage with a voltmeter.

If I attach sensor output (light sensor, no light, output voltage = 0V) to input pin the voltage on input pin goes to 5V! This is wrong.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a faulty RGBW controller?

Is anyone using RGBW controller with analog 0..10V sensors?

Could someone from Fibaro staff please answer my question?

Is the device faulty?

Thank you.

Questions

1) What is your sensor configuration in RGBW device (0v-0 lux, 10v-10 lux)?

2) What is the output voltage range of your sensor? (check the specification of the sensor)

3) Do you test on "weak light" or "strong light"?, what are the voltage in both case on the sensor?

Comments

If your RGBW-device configuration is 0-10v and the output range of light sensor is f.ex. 0-5v than it is expected to have 5v with a strong light.

Or is the problem that you test on "some light" so the real voltage on a sensor is much lower than 5v but it is 5v in HC2?

I also checked the voltage on input without any sensors connected and it is 10v, so that is expected behaviour.

I can also guess that the problem can be in the potential difference (idle 10v on RGBW + low voltage from your sensor).

Experience

Yes, I have several motion sensors with 3v output on a motion (see

) and they work OK.
