Hey, 

I have quite difficult instalation of RGBW modul here. I use it for light in 3 rooms.

 

The wiring is - I have 12V power in one place with RGBW module. 

I have wires to each wall switch and connected to IN...

Then I have wires to each room to the LED strips. So basically, I use one RGBW module as a dimmer in 3 rooms.

 

Everything works great, only in one room I have problem, that at night I see that one room is not completelly off. the led diods (not all of them) are on, but just a little bit. This is happening only in one room, the others are good.

In the same room I have two switches connected to IN, both momentary. 

 

Can that be the issue? And most importantly, I think bypass could solve this issue. But can I connect Fibaro bypass (eather first or second generation) with RGBW module?

quick check of one thing that sounds plausible to me:

Is the third strip (the troubbled one) longer or further away from RGBW than others? (LEDs further away would be dimer than ones closer because of the way strips consume power).

 

I belive that it is allso impossible to use Bypass (its intended use is for Dimmer module and for high wattage)

    Actually the problematic one is the closest and as well the longest one.

    It is something like 1,5 meters away from module. I will try to disconnect the second button, maybe that wire is giving it the power.
