Hoping for some help, I’m setting up RGBW LED Strip lights, my run is about 22’, the max that I can connect (as per the RGBW Strip light) is 16.5’ without needing an amplifier (regardless if it’s under the allowable wattage, which I don’t fully understand). So I was planning on connecting the Fibaro RGBW then adding in the amplifier down the run, BUT Fibaro tech support said the below:
“Total power consumption for one RGBW module can not be greater than 288W for 24V installation. From 4.110 version (and above) you can synchronize/group devices. Please consider of using a few RGBW module to the strip divided into pieces. One module will be master and the other will be the slave. All actions performed on the master will be imitated by the slaves We do not recommend of using amplifier because RGBW has PWM signal on the output ? amplifier rebuilds only the voltage. Therefore, there may be problems with colors or their intensity. A better solution would be to use an additional RGBW module”
Has anyone ever used multiple Fibaro RGBW in one run as Master / Slave? I can’t find any literature on this. Only support I found referenced using the Fibaro Home Controller, wondering if the Master Slave can be done with Vera Plus?
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
