Hello, I have a question to one of you. I have a ledstrip what is controlled by a controller of the brand Gledopto. So far so good. But last weekend I bought a new controller of a brand called “RexTech” (Ledstripkoning) During installation, I get the error message “added an unknwon Zigbee device”. The installation was done by the app Philips Hue, without the bridge. So after this, I tried the app from GLEDOPTO. This could be make a difference. But get the same error message. Have one of you an advice for me what to do? There is no app available called “RexTech”. Thanks in advance. ![IMG_0720](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/4/b4422ed670024f954d34d41e94ae36c16e91e6b8.jpeg) ---

Tried the Tuya zigbee app? Else hit the lightblue button in the lower half of that screen you showed. ---

Cannot you just close that window? I suppose the ledstrip is added a a generic device and you will be able to use it. ---

Hello Peter and @Rmb , thank you for your support. Also the Tuya Zigbee app gives the same message. But I can see the product in my device list. I can control it. That’s okay. But if I create a flow from on and the color is set to orange. Then I press the flow the color red. Then nothing will happen. So I think that I ask the create an app for this device? ---

That is probably because a generic colored light is RGB. So you need an app for it. It might take a long time before some one is going to make it. So better return the controller and by a supported controller. Like Sunricher HK-ZD-CCT-A, which is supported with Homey’s native Zigbee technology. By the way, I have no idea how to find which devices are supported by Homey’s Z-wave. PS: in [https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) you can see which capabilities Homey has found for your device. Like on/off, dimm, colortemperature. PS: you might do something wrong in the flow, so push the tile of the ledstrip for a while until you get a new window and try to set the color from there. ---

Additional: sometimes “interviewing” the device sort of unlocks more capabilities. Goto [https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee) Then, lookup the device and press ‘interview’ (might be hidden behind the dots `...` on the right hand side). But, the generic zigbee driver still is limited. I’m not able to find any info what it supports for real. ---

Hello Peter, Thank for your help again. The supplier gives/ believe me not what the issue is. So I decided to buy another controller (upgraded one) from the brand GLEDOPTO as my current defect controller. ---

I had the same message as Raymond1269 after adding a Rexlight C01Z (single color) led controller. Afterwards, this led controller was added as a default Zigbee device in the menu. I have the controller working and can dim the led strip and turn it off and on. ---

I got the Rextech EKAB-ZBCT Zigbee LED Controller from webshop Ledstripkoning and expected it would work as a generic Zigbee device. Was able to add it to Homey, but every command I send times out and nothing happens. Am unable to interview the device as well… It’s a Tuya device, but the Tuya app doesn’t help as either. My Zigbee network should be very sufficient at that place. Anyone have an idea what I could try? ![1000018445](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/d/fdd3691231daa8de98095edb41750c0bd131876c.jpeg) ---

@Henk_Renting, what I experienced similar by the Rextech driver. My advice to you, get a Gledopto driver. It works flawless. ---

Which Gledopto driver do you have, @Raymond1269 ? Because I also see users having problems using the GL-C-009P, see [here](https://community.homey.app/search?context=topic&context_id=115761&q=GL-C-009P%20order%3Alatest&skip_context=true). That would be the one I would use then, since I only need a dimmer for a 1 color ledstrip. ---

@Henk_Renting, I use the Gledopto 5 in 1 RGBW+CCT Zigbee Led controller. ---

Ok, thx. Let’s hope I have as much “luck” with the GL-C-009P as you… 🙂 ---

I used 2 of the those for my christmas lights last year, I was only running on dim mode , since the LEDs couldn’t do anything but dimming. but the devices work flawlessly for me via homey ---

Sounds good, @Robin_De_Lange. Let’s order those then. Thanks for the reply!
