Has anyone used the Zooz Zen31 RGBW LED Controller? I just installed one and an confused at the many parameters it has installed when I included the device in my Z Wave system. Below is a list of them and I am hoping someone can explain the to me.

I recently installed some Fibaro RGBW switches and they had the same nodes.  

For mine the Color Switch sets the various color channels.  The multilvel switch turns them off and on in various ways.  The energy meter nodes show you how much energy is being used.

On the Fibaro switches, they have inputs that control the switch in various ways.  You can attached a thermometer and have it change color based on temp etc.  Also you can have manual switches attached that turn various things on and off.  I believe that the other nodes are for those purposes.

For mine I just put them all into an "ignore" folder.  The 'Color' and the 'Multilevel' nodes are the only ones you need for programming it with your ISY.

For mine I programmed an Insteon four button KPL and I have the various buttons turn on different colors.

Here is an example for turning on the violet mode, it turns on the strips and then ramps them up over 3 seconds.  (The variable is used for my Home Assistant dashboard)

Thank you for your help.

edit: Moved to my own thread:

I have the controller above as well.  Also just bought the RGBGenie ZW-3002 Z-Wave wall controller and added it to ISY.  There are several nodes as shown in the attached screenshot.  If I had any hope of getting the two to talk to eachother, what would be the first step?  Im kinda lost at the moment.  Thanks 

FYI, Sunricher appears to be the same as the rgbgenie.  They have a video how to do what im trying to do: https://youtu.be/90JI1sadfi0?t=168

Im just not sure if it'll work because the control panel is a different brand than the dimmer, and Im not sure how to "bind" the two since im using the ISY instead of the bridge in the video...

Did you have any trouble getting it to pair with the ISY.  Have mine about 3 feet away and no luck getting it to pair.

I'm sorry I am replying so late. I just noticed your question. No, I did not have any issues pairing. My ISY is one floor away approximately 30 feet away from the ZEN31 and I am using six of them.

I bought one to try & it seems to work well.

Paired just fine, works with both scenes and programs in Polisy.

 Bought two more, one the way.

Is it possible to use these instead of an RGB controller.

I got a TV stand and came with an 8 output RGB controller to connect all the LEDs and the typical RGB IR remote . Is there some sort of RGB hub instead of an LED strip I can interface to this Zen31 to control through ISY instead?
