Question
Jan Kadlec 1
I am in the planning phase of electrical installation for our apartment.
I intend to use a Fibaro RGBW controller to control a RGBW LED strip located in a ceiling panel. The strip and controller shalll be both powered by a 12V/24V transformator located also in the ceiling panel. The strip should be controllable remotely by Z-Wave and physically by a set of three toggle switches from three locations (3-way, 4-way, 3-way switch).
How should the wiring look like, especially how the switches should be wired to the Fibaro RGBW controller? Is it possible to use between the switches a standard traveler wiring (first picture) with copper wires with gauge used for 230V alternate current, when the controller itself is for 12V/24V direct current and uses thinner wires? I do not understand how this should work together. (See second picture).
If this idea is wrong, how would you recommend to control the strip from several places? I cannot figure out how to get this setup working.
Thanks for help.
