How do i sync 2 or more RGBW controllers to the same color?

Try device grouping.

Pick one RGB (or any device) as master then at the beginning of its advanced tab scroll down to  'grouping', click on the RGB icons that you want to group together and  they will highlight. 

You will find whilst highlighted the other devices will mimic their 'master' device.

They will also disappear from the rest of the system unless unselected.

  • Thanks. But somehow it doesnt show the grouping option. I have the option on other devices but not on the RGBW module? Strange, running latest beta 4.161 for the fibaro lite... Maybe beta issue?

    As you can see i dont have any of those options....

    Looks like the same problem as in this topic: 

     

    That one was running 4.160 final and i do remember it was working then, even though with some delay syncing RGBW controllers.

    I am at 4.161 beta now and the problem is back again...

    I just updated my HC2 to 4.170 and tried to group the RGBW devices but found that it switches the second light on but when I change the colour, it does not sync. I instead have been using a scene to do this for couple of years now. As you can see, I have the Master device as 36 and slave as 43. The scene code is not originally mine, but it is on Vesternet's site.

     

    --[[
    %% properties
    36 color
    %% globals
    --]]

    local id_master = 36; -- ID of Master (also change ID above)
    local id_slaves = {43}; -- ID of Slaves, seperated by comma eq {1}, {1,2,3}
    local rgbwType = "fibaro"; -- fibaro or zipato
    local debug = true; -- Debug true or false

    if (fibaro:countScenes()>1) then
      fibaro:debug('Kill second scene!');
      fibaro:abort();
    end

    -- Don't change ---

    if debug then fibaro:debug("Syncing RGB"); end

    function split(s, pattern, maxsplit)
      local pattern = pattern or ' '
      local maxsplit = maxsplit or -1
      local s = s
      local t = {}
      local patsz = #pattern
      while maxsplit ~= 0 do
        local curpos = 1
        local found = string.find(s, pattern)
        if found ~= nil then
          table.insert(t, string.sub(s, curpos, found - 1))
          curpos = found + patsz
          s = string.sub(s, curpos)
        else
          table.insert(t, string.sub(s, curpos))
          break
        end
        maxsplit = maxsplit - 1
        if maxsplit == 0 then
          table.insert(t, string.sub(s, curpos - patsz - 1))
        end
      end
      return t
    end

    local result = split(fibaro:getValue(id_master, "color"), ',')

    if debug then fibaro:debug(result[1]..","..result[2]..","..result[3]..","..result[4]); end

    for i = 1, #id_slaves do
      fibaro:debug(fibaro:getValue(id_master, "value"))
      if rgbwType == "fibaro" then
        if (result[1] == "0" and result[2] == "0" and result[3] == "0" and result[4] == "0" and (tonumber(fibaro:getValue(id_master, "currentProgramID")) > 0)) then
          if debug then fibaro:debug(fibaro:getValue(id_master, "currentProgramID")); end
          fibaro:call(id_slaves, "startProgram", fibaro:getValue(id_master, "currentProgramID"));
        else
          fibaro:call(id_slaves, "setColor", result[1], result[2], result[3], result[4])
        end
      elseif rgbwType == "zipato" then
        fibaro:call(id_slaves, "setColor", result[1], result[2], result[3], result[4])
      end
    end
