I bought a GLEDOPTO Zigbee 5 in 1 LED Controller. As far as I understand the product offers a mode in which it can control 5 different single color LED strips. However, after I configured it in the corresponding mode (“red”) and paired it with Home Assistant I only find one dimmer entity for that zigbee device.
Does anyone own that controller and configured the multiple dimmer mode as well and can walk me through de setup?
As standard, the GLEDOPTO controls the 5 light strips at the same time, like in the “Dimmer” mode in the image. However, you can in theory connect five different light strips (with a common +, and individual -) using the RGBCCT mode. It is somewhat useful for scenes, but it does not work very well for live changes, since the effect of the color wheel and the color temperature controls on the LED strips is hard to understand and predict. In practice, three strips using the RGB mode should work reasonably well, although still somewhat confusing.
