Indigo 7 + Fibaro RGBW controller - sensor support?

Just wondering if Jay and Matt might be considering the 4x analog sensor ports on the Fibaro RGBW controller as a possible supported expansion of the device now that 7 is out now.

Just seems a shame to have 2 of them in the house and not use those ports for something...one controller is right over the stove, so putting in a smoke sensor and a temperature probe would be easy if I could use it.

If not I'll drop a piBeacon unit there, but it's a $60 investment for the rPi stuff...

Just curious...

Thanks
Ross

Good idea, I have also one in my office.
As far as I know it supports up to 4 analogue sensors.

Hard to argue with the appeal when a DS18B20 is nearly free.

Yeah I could make good use of it as well.

Already on the feature request list.

It also might be possible with the new Z-Wave plugin callbacks to implement support for it via a plugin.

I am very keen on this as well ... for me it will be worth upgrading to V7 to have this.

Can someone stick a sensor on one, turn on ZWave debugging, and see what you see?

Sorry, can't help. According to Fibaro:

10. Can I connect the Dallas DS18B20 Temperature Sensor additionally if I use RGB LED strip connected to my RGBW?
No, this is a 1-wire digital sensor, compatible only with Universal Binary Sensor and Door/Window Sensor.

Maybe we need something like this? :

It works with 0-10v sensors, but I'm a bit skeptical it will work with that sensor.
I have only bad experiences with connecting sensors to that module...

did anyone ever get this working? looking for a neat way to connect soil moisture sensors, and have a couple of spare RGBW modules...
