Help me wiring a LED strip

Hi there.

I’m struggling to figure out the wiring diagram for an LED light made iot by a Golepto controller.

The tricky bit is that the construction is in japan, which generate some trouble and language barrier. As a matter of fact, our eletrician can only install officially approved products (which means using only Panasonic products), so we agreed that I will plug in my IoT converersion on top of the new lines.

Another big constrain is that I need to keep all lights being able to be turn on/off by a normal dumb switch as failsafe.

So far I’ve worked with sonoff zigbee switches and they work great, but for LED is a little different story.

So here is my diagram. I can’t really figure out if the iot controller is nearby the dimmer switch, or down the line (which don’t make much sense, as it will receive already dimmed power?)

Any help?
Here are my 3 options.

I’m starting to be afraid this system wont work.
That I either control the dimming from the switch OR from the iot panel.

Second point: I have an RGB controller, since the spec of the light changed in the meantime. Can I still use it, or I need to buy another one?

Ps. Yes the obvious solution would have a iot dimmer switch in the first place, but the panasonic switch, beside consting way too much, use a propetary bluetooth connection that, for my understanding, cannot be plugged into HA without an (expensive) Panasonic hub.

Thanks!

Keypoint here is the LED type.
Looks 24V 2 wires, is it? If so, the RGB controller probably won’t work…

I don’t see any viable way to combine these 3 components. That wall dimmer outputs low voltage 1kHz PWM to Osram driver which dims the LED, but GLEDOPTO is not anyhow compatible with those two together.
If you disconnect the wall dimmer, you could probably wire Osram and Gledopto like this:

(using Osram as plain 24V power supply)

It is.

Is there no way to just plug into one of the 3 channels?

Thanks Karoam

This is what I was getting afraid of.

I guess my solutions are:
Dropping the dimmer switch and use a normal on-off switch, and DIM via the iot controller

Or

Dim via the switch dimmer, and change the iot controller in favour of a on-off iot switch (something like this)

What would be preferable?

In both cases you only have control where one is liimited by other.
If you want full manual and HA control, you need controller like Shelly RGBW2.
