With Grenton's open system logic, we can easily adapt the system configuration to control single-color LED strips. This solution allows controlling four independent single-color LED circuits with one RGBW LED module.
The following manual provides instructions on how to prepare the control of one single-color LED strip within on/off control (click of button) and light intensity setting (hold of button).
To realize the mentioned functionality, the following are required:
- central unit (CLU Z-Wave),
- controller (e.g. Led RGBW DIN),
- input module (e.g. I/O 8/8 DIN),
- Object Manager environment for creating system logic.
Output configuration
1. Create a led_w_switch script responsible for controlling the LED circuit as the ON/OFF function:
2. Create a configuration, according to the following scheme:
if(CLU->LEDRGB->WhiteValue>0) then
CLU->LEDRGB->SetWhiteValue(0)
else
CLU->LEDRGB->SetWhiteValue(255)
end
Input configuration
- Select the Switch_W1 input and go to Embedded features. Make sure the values of Mode, HoldDelay and HoldInterval features match the following:
- HoldDelay feature - defines the time after which the system will recognize the given impulse (signal) as a trigger to the OnHold event,
- HoldInterval feature - defines the interval with which the OnHold event will be repeated.
3. Go to the Events tab and assign the appropriate actions to the following events:
- Assign the HoldWhiteValue method with the selected value of the Ramp attribute to the OnHold event:
- Assign the previously created led_w_switch script to the OnClick event - it will be responsible for ON/OFF control:
Sending the configuration to CLU
1. Once all changes have been made, send the configuration to the CLU.
Similarly, you can create a configuration for the remaining channels (R, G, B).
