RGBW as 0-10V control

[JanJoh 1]

Yeah, i realize that the device is not meant for this.

But, if i understand correctly in RGB-mode, the device outputs PWM with 0-VCC, right?

So, in all fairness, with a RC output filter, it could be used as a 0-12V controller.. correct?

In theory yes, but I can't confirm as I haven't tried it myself. However there are some limitations in the fact that the HC2 will only class it as a light, so from a user interface point of view you'll always see it in the lighting section. You could change the icon of course but its still not ideal.

Fibaro, this would be a great feature to add.

Well, considering that it would be a light, i am okay with that.

A bit moire detail. I have a nice light fixture with precense control (PIR) and such.

It is a Altenburger KMSS sensor module which drives an Osram dimmer via 0-10V

Unfortunately something has broken in the KMSS så it does not respond to key presses any more. But the PIR and Constant light level function works.

My idea would be to hook the output of the KMSS to a 0-10 input on the RGBW and let the RGBW handle the "offset" to get the desired light level. But, i now read that the RGBW "Only" has 244Hz PWM.. I would need one mother of a RC filter

Either that or order a spark.io and got for wlan overkill.

Has anybody got this alreay working?

My in-house ventilation system can be controlled by a 0-10v input or PWM.

Here a picture of the ventilation system/motor and information about the connections.

When i shorten yellow (0-10v input) and red (10v output) from the control cables the motor starts running on full speed.

Did i connect the cables correctly? Do i need to set "Controlled device" to "Ouput / input" or to "RGB(W)"? When i select "Output/input" i get 4 dimmers. Can imagine to control the motor speed by increasing the dimmer value.
