How to use different current / voltage on L and IN ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello All,

I have LEDs (pure white only, no color) that I can currently turn on and off using a button (see attachment).

Now I'd like to be able to either use the button or a Fibaro module, just like my other (WIP) lights in the house. As far as I see, only the FIBARO RGBW Controller could do it, right ?

So, current is AC220V that is transformed into DC12V then button then LED.

(1) What do you think ?

(2) I'm afraid that the button is not the correct one, or am I wrong ?

Thank you!

If LED is not dimmable and you plan to use simple ON/OFF. Use FGS221 relay. Dont loop L and IN, instead connect IN terminal to +12V supply.

    Very interesting, looks like a solution to me!

    How did you know that 12V DC is supported ?

    I bought my modules few days ago and documentation says:

    110 - 230 V AC ±10% 50/60Hz

    24-60V DC ±10%

    However website of my seller says "any type of DC current (5v, 12v .. 24V DC)"

    So I'd use this schema, right ?

    I'm trying to think about cabling and what I see is that I will be able to turn LED on/off using this method but once turned on using fibaro module (using iPhone app / web interface / ...) I won't be able to physically turn it off, right ?

    Also module itself will have to be powered with 220V right ?

    So:

    L/N = AC220V

    IN = DC12V (to power O1 using iphone app / web interface / ...)

    S1 = DC12V coming from button (connected to DC12V instead of L) then IN powers O1

    edit:

    says "Only the load can be different, S1/S2 must be switched by L "

    So can the module (L/N) be powered with DC12V? Is it enough ? Then all my issues are solved. Otherwise I don't see how I can include the switch/button.

    To summarize, and hopefully get an answer still today cause I'm eager to try it

    /emoticons/default_icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> can I have AC~220V Load, DC12V IN for O1 and O2 and switch S1 and S2 with DC12V ?
