Have a gledopto RGBW zigbee controller. Have two white LED strips i want to control with it.
Does anyone have a template to use the channels independently in HA? I believe this can be done with any rgbw controller
To use the channels of a Gledopto RGBW Zigbee controller to independently control two white LED strips in Home Assistant, you can use the light component and the custom_rgbw light platform.
Here is an example YAML configuration that uses the light component and the custom_rgbw light platform to independently control two white LED strips with a Gledopto RGBW Zigbee controller:
# Configure the Gledopto RGBW Zigbee controller
light:
- platform: custom_rgbw
name: "LED Strip 1"
red:
channel: 1
green:
channel: 2
blue:
channel: 3
white:
channel: 4
id: led_strip_1
- platform: custom_rgbw
name: "LED Strip 2"
red:
channel: 5
green:
channel: 6
blue:
channel: 7
white:
channel: 8
id: led_strip_2
In this configuration, the light component is used to define two custom_rgbw light entities, one for each LED strip.
The red, green, blue, and white parameters are used to specify the channel number on the Gledopto RGBW Zigbee controller that each color will be controlled by.
You can customize this configuration by changing the name and id of each light entity, and by changing the channel numbers to match your setup.
I cannot find custom_rgbw defined anywhere.
If adding it to lights, HA will fail to restart and complain about invalid config.
Can you share where you found this / how you installed it?
