RGBW 24V Dimmer Tree - Commoned Channels - How To

[Gast]

Hi,
Question about RGBW 24V Dimmer Tree. On this page (https://www.loxone.com/enen/kb/led-strips-new-build/) the following is stated:
"The RGBW Dimmer tree has a total capacity of 200W split into 50W per channel. If required these can be commoned in order to gain for example 2 groups of 100 watts or 1 of 200W."

This is exactly what I would like to achieve. I have 2, 24V, led strips, each of about 60-80W, and would like to connect them with 1 RGBW 24V Dimmer Tree."

I assume that the cabling looks like this (Is this correct?):



But what does the configuration look like in Loxone Config?

• What is the Actuator Type that I should choose for the RGBW 24V Dimmer Tree?

• How does the configuration take place in combination with the Lightning Controller?
  Is what has been configured below correct?
  

(I tried searching within the documentation and on this forum, but this not find the necessary information to make sure I'm doing it right. If I missed something, thanks for pointing me to the right information. )

Thanks for the help!

Hi Ollo,

there is the quoted answer directly from Loxone (in German): https://www.loxforum.com/forum/verka...3148#post93148

From that perspective, your wiring scheme and settings are correct, and you need to always combine the outputs.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for pointing this out for me!! I did not find the answer yet (probably because it was is German).
Although the Google Translate translation is a bit shabby, my proposed configuration seems to be correct. Give me some time to test this in real life

FYI:
Tested, and these are the results.

• Cable Schema was correct.
• "What is the Actuator Type that I should choose for the RGBW 24V Dimmer Tree?"
  => Need to be Standard Individual Channels instead of Smart Individual Channel in case of regular led strips
  
• "How does the configuration take place in combination with the Lightning Controller?
  Is what has been configured below correct?"
  => Instead of the "Smart Actuator" Type, "Dimmer 0-100%" should be used as type
  

Hope this helps anyone else wondering what the configuration should look like

OK guys, thanks for this. Now the complication: what if I want to control those 2 LED strips as 1 group of lights? so my problem is the same, due to power load I need to bridge 2 RGBW dimmer outputs into one to support 5 meter long WW LED strip 14,4W/m2. I have in total 4 of them and I want to control all of them as one single light. how do I do that?
