Thanks

Hi Andy,

Seems like at the moment no RGB controller is fully supported:
https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/195
https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/231
With the exception of ColourKinetics (professional application, very expensive), and the IR controlled cheap Chinese stuffs.
The Fibaro RGBW controller is the most popular here and one of the best so I believe that will be the most supported device. I will have this in the bedrooms, bathrooms and under the floating shelve (for AV stuffs). In almost all situation I recommend to use RGBW (W-White) over RGB. RGB LEDs you can`t create white colour in practice, it will be light pink or similar. Furthermore the colour rendering of the mixed white colour is terrible. 
Check this out:

It has very good luminous flux, single chip solution (so you are not getting Red shadow, Blue shadow and Green shadow) and the LED`s are fairly close to each other (so not so spotty.)

I asked Emile about this a few times already, since then I received and installed an RF module for controlling LEDs and plan on getting 2 more for my apartment. Work good so far, and if they don't end up working with Homey I'd consider it a bit of a backstabbing from Emile... But I'm sure he's motivated to get them working since he mentioned he has the same ones.

Thanks,   I ended up going for the Fibrous it is RGBW (after being told that the wife does not want a pink white) i found plenty of cheaper alternatives including a milight RGBW version but the communication protocol is not well documented and I am still in the progress of developing the lightwaveRF App so better focus on that first.
