RGBW Controller


Jp12787

Question

Hey,

 

I got an RGBW controller to control a new LED set up i'm doing on the outside of my house.


My hope is to include this in a zwave/smartthings network.

 

I have a 24v power supply for our LED since they are 24v LED's.

 

That supply has V+, V+, V+, V-, V-, V-, Ground, Neutral, Line

 

The RGBW controller has 12v in, ground, In 1-4, RGBW 

 

My question is how does the 24v power supply wire to controller's in 1-in 4? 

 

thanks!

sorry. not clear to me. what is your question about +/-?

how to understand where "+" and where "-" ?

Ohh... actually I use a device like this

:)

but...

I think your power supply can't take "selfy" :D

can you take a picture of your power supply here :)

 

thank you!

for 24v power supply LEDs you should use 24v power out a controller. I am not sure what PWM 12v enough for 24v  LEDs

 

>>My hope is to include this in a zwave/smartthings network.

btw,  please say a model for your device... I'm so sorry but I don't believe in your hopes :)

    are you saying you don't think this will work?

     

    this is the controller

    the 24v i just wire it into Line/Ground and then out to RGBW to the LED's? dont worry about In 1-4 since those are for sensors?

    nice choice!

    but it works with 12v LED strip.

     

    sop, according to FIBARo description:

     

    The FIBARO RGBW Controller is a universal, Z-Wave compatible module that controls LED, RGB, RGBW strips, halogen lights and fans via 12 or 24 VDC. The device allows you to change the color of the lights from your mobile device whenever you want. Additionally, the controller supports up to four 0-10V passive analog sensors such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind sensors, air quality sensors and light sensors. All IN and OUT terminals may be user-configured for LED control or 0V-10V signal readouts.

     

    so, it's ok for 24v!

    got it so power in-- red green blue white out. and power from the 24v power supply to the LED

     

    any idea about the V+ and V- on the power supply?

    Sir. you do not need to use this device with FIBARO RGBW controller.

    you need just simple find 220 (120 in the USA) to 24v power supply.

     

    about your device:

    Features and Specifications

    Input Power: 110/120VAC (can also be configured for 220/240V operation)
    Output Power: 24VDC 21A Max. (500W)
    Connection Type: Direct wire screw terminal block
    Power Input Terminals: 3 (Ground, N-Neutral, L-Load/Hot)
    Power Output Terminals: 6 (+,+,+,-,-,-) [single rail]
    Size: 220x120x55mm
    Power conversion efficiency: 82%
    Power factor: 0.9
    Ambient operating temperature: -22°F - 140°F
    Active cooling
    Short circuit and over-current protection
    Non-dimmable

     

    so. as I can understand 

    L & N  & ground => to 110V socket

     

    and you can use any pair V+ and V- outputs for 24v

    Thanks yea i have LED's that are about 150w per and i'm using 3 of them which is why the 500w power supply is needed.

     

    So are you saying i can use the V+ an V- into the Fibraro? where do they wire into which ports?

     

    Any idea how i then power the LED itself?

    24 v to FIBARO controller as power

     

    and V+ & V- to your LED strip power

    IMHO

    IMHO

    got it so V+ and V- jumper together and go one line into the LED strip...

    yep! another "V"s (as I can see you have 3 out) can connect another 2 LED strips.

    so

    V(1):  FIBARO + LED1

    V(2):  LED2

    V(3):  LED3

     

    somehow or other
