RGBW an sensors

[Reinhold 18]

 I will bay a RGBW controller and i wil need some sensors.

I have searched for a couple of days for some sensors, i found more people in diverend forums and they are looking too. I was searching if there was a list of working sensors but i don't find this.

Now was i thinking to make a list of different working sensors but i need some help.

I have make a start but if anyone have good working sensors and add this to the list so that anyone can look in this list to find sensor the can yuse.

I hope that you will add the info.

Hoi Reinhold,

 

Bought my temp sensor here

DS18B20 is not compatible with the Fibaro RGBW module. The DS18B20 is digital, the RGBW is analog. I cannot recommend a temperature sensor that outputs analog data, but undoubtedly someone reading this will have a link. But I still wouldn't use the RGBW for this application. The analog signal is called "0 - 10 V". I have a working 0 - 10 V light sensor, but it needed extra buffering, so not all analog sensors are compatible out of the box. At the moment , The DS18B20 can be used with the "Universal Binary Sensor". Newer modules, like newest Fibaro D/W sensor and Motion sensor have temp sensor bult in.

Also, note that an RGBW module divides the 0-10V signal in 100 steps.

This means that a sensor for -20 to +80 degrees only shows the temperature in increments of 1 degree, no decimals.

This is way i want to make al list. There are manny diverend sensors.

Who use sensors in combination with the RGBW and with sensor are you using?

As I wrote above, it will not be meaningful to use an RGBW module for sensors.
According to your list, a wind guage would only report wind speed in step of 0.35 m/s.
For example, 0.35, 0.7, 1.05, 1.4 m/s, etc.

Your light meter should report in step of 600, 1200, 1800, 2400 Lux etc.
The only sensor that makes sense is a moisture sensor 0-100%.

What do you suggest?
