0-10v temperature sensors (DS18B20) on RGBW-controller

[degroeten 3]

I'm trying to set up a RGBW-controller with temperature sensors. I configured the controller on output/input-modus as mentioned in the manual. Also I followed the wiring diagram fig 8. I used a 12v adapter (2A). The sensor cable yellow is connected to input1, the red cable is connected to 12v (+) and the black cable to GND(-). The controller works fine.

 

Then something strange happend: the temperature sensor gets very hot and after a few minutes it exploded... I've tried several sensors (ds18b20 waterproof) and tried a new controller but still the same issue. Of course I didn't wait untill the next sensor exploded because the metal part hit the wall very hard (I was lucky...). The sensor gets very hot.

 

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Hi, you cannot use DS18B20 with RGBW modules. They work with 3V and do not give output 0-10V. You need to use Fibaro unversal sensor with DS18B20 sensors!

Thanks for your answer. Do you know which temperature sensors do work with the rgbw controller? Otherwise I will have to use 2 universal sensors to monitor 4 temperatures.

You could use a 0-10V temperature sensor for example the LM35

10mV/Deg C

To monitor 4 temperatures you'll need only one binary sensor and four DS18B20 they are workning on "one wire" interface.

Thanks Bryan, but which binary sensor do I need? I want to monitor 4 temperatures with waterproof sensors. I bought some RGBW controllers but that doesn't work with ds18b20 sensors.

Edit: I've read the manual of the universal sensor and I read about the option to connect 4x ds18b20 sensors.

But are all 4 temperatures available? Or only the higest or lowest temperature of all 4 sensors?

I use FGMs-001 and four DS18B20+ to control the climate in my greenhouse.

Four sensors to measure the temperature of the ceiling, the floor, the outdoor temperature and the temperature of fanregulator.

Just an update to let you know it finally worked! I had some troubles to connect the wires... Thanks for your help!
