looks like your serviceId is in correct.
go to device and to advanced, then to variables click edit the variable you are trying to set. At the top will be the seviceId and the variable name. Use them.
Take a look here I listed all the codes for all the animations for my Fibaro RGBW 441. Assume they are the same for the 442.
Note I am using this in conjunction with the RGB Controller plugin.

Yes , I see your blog installation yesterday.
I install the RGB plugin for testing.
The plugin work well except animation part…
Is there something to do that it works for animation ?
Have you changed the device ID number in the code?
My devices number created by the RGB Controller plugin was 139. Yours will be a different number.
luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:RGBController1”,“StartAnimationProgram”,{ programId=“6” },139)
Yes…
One question : is the plugin working well for the Fibaro animation without the scene ? (it’s not the case on my vera)
I think also that one problem can be that programm are located on param 157 and on Fibaro version 441 it’s 72!
Fianlly, I have found the soltuion.
I changed the value in the L_RGBController1.lua file for the Programm part from 0x48(which means parameter 72) to 0x9d (which means parameter 157)
You need to do this for Fibaro 442 version. RgbController is unfotunetly a little bit obsolete

Legend! Thanks, came across this problem too. Now to decide if its worth trying to run two copies of RGBController (since I have multiple v1 around) or if I should swap the v2 with a v1 somewhere where I dont need to use the animations.
So stupid by Fibaro to change a parameter like that between generations.
General questions for people with v2 of the RGBW (442 version). Do you also find that Vera’s native DimmableRGBLight1 does not work with it? I have several v1 (441 version) around and they work fine. I have to use the RGBController plugin to get a working colour wheel/chart.
For me it’s also a marketing question … there are some capabilities you can only use with a Fibaro Center…
Probably the idea behind is when you have enough with all these constraint, you buy the very expensensive FC3 box.
For the question regarding 442 version, if I remember, it Works well with native but you loose some specification which are only available on RGBplugin
Where is this L_RGBController1 located. I have had this issue with V2 also but have lived with it since I’m not well versed with programming in Vera.
In the /etc/cmh-ludl directory on the Vera, assuming you already have the RGB Controller plugin installed.
In the Vera web GUI you can go to Apps - Develop Apps - Luup Files.
Find the L_RGBController1 download it make the changes required and upload it again.
I only have V1 Fibaro RGBW modules. so as yet I haven’t had to do this myself.
Hello, I have had a Vera 3 for many years and am doing a remodel and added about 20 lights and 5 sets of LED strip lights throughout my home. So I have 5 Fibaro RGBW Controllers. I have the newer 442 model. So I have added the Controllers to my Vera and each device has all the different components added (11 I think for each Controller). The dimmer and 4 color dimmers work well but there is no color wheel associated with the main device. So I have read the above and several other posts on the web and tried several changes to get the color wheel and I have been unsuccessful. Can someone walk me thru the changes or setup required to get the color wheel and animations to show up on the device? Also, on the iPhone app if possible.
Secondly, I have down loaded the RGBW plugin and it works well except for the animations do not work. I tried the lua language discussed above and I could not get it to work. So could someone walk me thru how to get the animations to work with the plugin. Lastly, I would like to have the plugin control all 5 of the Fibaro Controllers at the same time. Could someone help me with this also. I have not used Lua language or edited Luup files so if this is required I would need to know what software to load the files in to edit them.
Thank you so much for your help! I greatly appreciate it. Also, if the information I requested has already been answered somewhere else I am so sorry. I have not used the new forum this is the first time and I am learning the new system.
Update: Ok I have been studying the comments above and finally figured out how to do what cwoessner said above – (Fianlly, I have found the soltuion. I changed the value in the L_RGBController1.lua file for the Programm part from 0x48(which means parameter 72) to 0x9d (which means parameter 157)). I downloaded the L_RGVController1.lua file and opened it in a text editor and searched for 0x48 and replaced it with 0x9d and then uploaded the file. Now the Animation is working. However, I still need to find out how to get the color wheel to show up on my iPhone (it shows up in the web application). Also, how to control the 5 Controllers with the plugin.
