Title: Compatibility Fibaro RGBW and Motion Sensor
Post by: mairyj on November 21, 2014, 12:48:04 am
Hello, can you tell me if it is or will soon module are compatible with? thank you in advance.

The motion sensor works, but it's limited to motion and temperature right now. The RGBW controller is not supported yet.

Is there any progress in supporting the Fibaro RGBW controller?

Neel737, do you have one already purchased or are you looking to get one?

Yes, I purchased one recently from Amazon (an impulse buy actually) since I have a bunch of RGB strips waiting to be installed.  If A+ can support this controller, it would be cool. I do not want to buy their too pricey controller.

But definitely I need the support for Fibaro door/window sensor. I know it is listed in the Wiki page as supported but I chose this superb sensor for being able to use temp probe and to use another binary input. Basically it is a 3-in-1 device. I have not received D/W sensor yet and the Temp probe is also on the way. I intend to use it in my Marine Aquarium. Does anybody know whether temp sensor and binary input part of this device is supported?

Thanks.

It wasn't working, but as support seems to have been vastly improved for multi-sensors in R083 it's possible that it works. I can confirm that the Fibaro motion sensor reports temperature and lux, so there are some good chances the door sensor will also work, but I don't have one to test.

Thank you Lars (oops, TheLostSwede:-) ) for confirming re: the motion sensor's temp and lux reporting. One can assume that Fibaro D/W sensor device might also report the temp probe reading and binary input reading from the device. Then again one thing I learnt the hard way that never assume anything when it comes to HA ::)

Have you tried pairing the RGBW to see if it works? My Dresden pairs and is usable from the LCD and app (but not webpage or Rules/Scenes).

As for using the other stuff with a marine aquarium (awesome by the way, I am also in the hobby, sent you a PM) I would worry a bit about whether the temperature probe would hold up in a marine environment. Have you asked them about that?

One of the adverts for Fibaro sensors is for use of a temp probe in an aquarium, the size and picture looked like salt water. (If my memory is correct)

Huh... Guess I need to see more ads.

Even those... I usually skip down to product specs or such. Good to know though.
