GLEDOPTO Zigbee 5 in 1 LED Controller: Configure 5 separate dimmer channels in Home Assistant

Hi everyone,

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?

Than you so much in advance,
Michael

Hi Micha, welcome to the forum!

If you are talking about the Gledopto GL-C-001P Zigbee 5 in 1 Smart LED controller, it seems to me that it’ suited for 5 different scenario’s

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.
