I recently had the chance to work with the HM-LC-RGBW-WM controller, and I must say, it’s been a fascinating experience! While the direct linkages were a bit tricky at first, I managed to set up a dimmer with a connected switch, which worked out pretty well. However, I encountered some challenges with the standby power consumption of the power supplies. My 120W power supply was drawing almost 14W in standby mode, which is quite significant. To address this, I implemented a timing-based solution where the RGB controller is only powered on at night when someone is home. During the day, the dimmer or color selection switch activates the controller, albeit with a slight delay. This setup helps save energy while still providing the necessary functionality. I also created a system variable to store the last set color, ensuring that the controller remembers the previous setting after a restart. Short presses cycle through colors, while long presses switch to white light. This project taught me a lot about scripting and optimizing energy use, and I’m excited to share these tips with the community! SmartHome EnergyEfficiency
