Folks,

I have some 5CH MagicHome controllers running Tasmota. Those controllers are meant to be used as RGB + WW + CW controllers, but I would prefer to use them to control two independent CCT (WW+CW) LED strips (2 channels + 2 channels).

I have already discovered SetOption37 that lets me to split RGB and CCT as two separate lights. Now I wonder if there's another option, or trick, to turn this controller into dual CCT lights instead?

The thing is that I have a lot of CW/WW high power LED strips that need beefy controller, and such a trick would basically save me from purchasing additional controllers.

Thanks!
Jakub

Two CCT channel pairs is not a feature of Tasmota. Closest is to split to RGB and CCT, and massage the color channels in RGB to get CCT in the resulting light. Or SetOption68 getting control over up to 5 separate PWM channels, mixing your own CCT.
