Hey!

I have the fibaro RGB W led controller. Basically it comes with 4 0-10v inputs and 4 PWM outputs to control a led strip of up to 140W.

I want to use it to control a backlight panel.

Can I connect the 0-10v outputs from the Profilux 4 to the Fibaro controller? If so:

- what cable do I need to get 3 0-10v outputs from the Profilux?
- the Fibaro RGBW can be configured to have (or not) a pull-up resistor on each 0-10v input. Does the Profilux 0-10v outputs require a pull-up resistor?

Anything else I should keep in mind?

Cheers,

For anyone seeing this in the future, the setup works.

- No pull up resitor needed, i.e. the Fibaro configuration is "no pull up"
- Used rj12 cable (6 wires) and the relevant pins are pins 2 and 5. Pin 3 was also needed for GND. The mapping is

- Port 1. Pin 3 goes to Fibaro GND. Pin 2 goes to Fibaro Input 1. Pin 5 goes to Fibaro input 2
- Port 2: Pin 2 goes to Fibaro Input 3. Pin 5 goes to Fibaro input 4

I'm actually not using the W channel since my led strip is RGB and not RGBW.

Hope it helps anyone in the future!
