Fibaro RGBW Controller has 4 controllable inputs I1-I4, configured

by default to work with push buttons. Each input controls

designated channel, i.e.:

- I1 controls R channel.

- I2 controls G channel.

- I3 controls B channel.

- I4 controls W channel.

Controlling I1-I4 inputs is achieved by connecting ground wire

XII Current load and energy consumption

1) Fibaro RGBW Controller allows for the current load and power

consumption monitoring. Data is sent to the main controller, e.g.

Home Center 2. Measuring is carried out by an independent

microprocessor dedicated exclusively for the purpose, assuring

maximum accuracy and precision. The microprocessor is factory

calibrated.

Electric power - power consumed by an electric device in an

instant, in Watts (W).

Electric energy - energy consumed by a device through a time

period. Most commonly measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). One

kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over a

period of one hour, 1kWh = 1000 Wh.

Note

1) Please contact your local supplier for the

current rates.

2) Fibaro RGBW Controller stores consumed

electricity data on its memory, which means

disconnecting the module from voltage supply

does not erase the data.
