rgbwPM in white mode 4 channels doesn't work

[stahlbox]

Hello,

I have the following problem with the Shelly rgbwPM:
I want to use it in white mode (4 channels) with 4 LED strips and 4 buttons (one for each channel) . The test installation was carried out with 2 LEDs on 2 channels with 2 buttons. I want to use one button for each LED and the Homekit control. As long as I use button 1 and only channel 1 in the Homekit, LED 1 works as it should. As soon as I use channel 2 via the button or Homekit, both channels switch at the same time. If channel 1 is off and I activate channel 2, channel 1 is also activated automatically. I can then only control both channels. Even if I then control channel 1, both channels are controlled.

The wiring is correct according to Shelly specifications in white mode and the circuit works perfectly with the Shelly software.

Input mode = momentary
initial state = last

Same thing after a hard reset.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Currently not.

Can you please send logs when this happens?

It seems the channel 1 works fine by physical and digital switch. As soon as I activate channel 2 all channels are activated by all physical and digital switches..

This sounds more like a PWM problem.

Can you try to set the mode to normal (4 switches) on time and see if everything works there.

Outputs are binary then.

[stahlbox]

in switch mode it works fine... :)

I use 2 different LEDs for testing, it seems the second one has a problem with pwm. I swapped the LEDs (back in white mode), now channel 2 works and channel 1 is acting up.

Thanks for the solution - I'll test it again in a few days or next week with the same "correct" LED, but I'm confident that it will work then and will report back.

Ok Strange. I remember there was someone having a similar problem that went away.

@stahlbox could you share your wiring setup please? I have issues with my setup:
I want to use the rgbw pm in white mode with two tunable white leds: channel 1+2 for led 1 and channel 3 + 4 for led 2. And I want to use two switches, one for led 1 and one for led 2. No matter how I connect the wires, I don’t get the second switch to work… don’t know what to select in the settings either :(
Thanks for your help!

[stahlbox]

I use the circuit provided by Shelly with 2 LEDs and 2 buttons in white mode. Switched to channel 1 and 2. Channel 3 and 4 are not connected. Nothing special

[kaahla]

@stahlbox where can I find this circuit? Cannot find it sadly, could you share it with me please? :-)
