I just found this thread after having difficulties using the RGBW Controller 2 with Domoticz. The latest Domoticz 2020.1 does use open z-wave 1.6, but still does not recognize the module correctly.
After following these steps (manually adding the xml file and adjusting the manufacturer_specific.xml) I managed to include the module and have it recognized correctly.
However, I do not see most of the “control entities” as mentioned in this thread. I can’t control the outputs properly. This could be a similar problem as being described here.
It might indicate that further adjustments are required on the z-wave 1.6 implementation that I’ve tried.
After discussing this with the author of the adjusted xml files for the FGRGBW-442 he states that the XML-files aren’t finished and need further work. That’s probably the reason not all devices are being found.
He also states that open-zwave might only support version 2 of the command class color switch and that the module is using version 3. But he’s not sure if this is causing the problem.
Concluding, the open-zwave implementation for this device needs further work.
Hey, from what I can tell from looking at the manual, the Zooz ZEN31 and the Fibaro RGBW Controller 2 are similar (if not the same) device. I know there has been some headway made with the Zooz ZEN31, and one of the problems seems to be with the zwave discovery schema. I modified my home assistant instance as suggested in the link below, and one light entity showed up. It kinda works, I can turn it on and off as well as dim. I can’t seem to control the white channel or change colors.
Just made a coffee and prepared myself for long debugging evening when got notification about your post. You made my day bro! It works exactly the same with Fibaro FGRGBW442. Looks like these two modules are clones. Thanks a lot for update!
Thanks for this! I have Fibaro RGBW Controller 2 (FGRBBW-442). I have followed the above instructions for Zooz ZEN31 and it kind of works for the Fibaro. I get all the entities that I should, but I cannot access the configuration parameters. For example, I cannot change parameter 20 from 2 (default) to 4. The list of configuration parameters in Home Assistant/Zwave is completely empty for this node. Also, I have tried with zwave.set_config_parameter but this also seems not to work: no error message but does not change the behavior as it should. Any ideas?
Open zwcfg_*.xml and check command class 112 for this device. It must be empty if you dont see any options. Place all configuration definitions here. Of course you need to restart HA core after the change.
The config options show up for me, but I needed to grab the latest OZW device config files from the OpenZWave Github repository. Here’s my section of the zwcfg_*.xml, as @xtensa said you can replace the command class 112 section of your file with mine.

FYI, seems like your 112 section is not updated with what is described in the Fibaro manual (v1.1). For example, parameters 40-43 are not boolean, but short integers.
Hi. Thank for all contributions. I was able to get Fibaro RGBW 2 (FGRGBW-442) working (kind of) with these instructions including config options. The problem I am having is with HA not getting the states updated so the toggles are all messed up. Was anyone able to get the states reflected in HA properly? Thank you
@DaveCo1701 thanks for the suggestions. Not only I get the values in the middle of ramping, but when I toggle the physical switch, HA does not update at all. I can see the ValueChanged event in the OZW log but HA does not seem to do anything with it.
I could not get the delay option to work either. I now use refresh_entity zwave service call in an automation that triggers on the power entity state change from the device. It is not ideal but it updates the entities properly within a few seconds.
