First, thanks to @twack for the device type and helpful hints throughout this thread.
Second, for anyone interested, I created a smartapp (my first ever) that can be used to assign any of the 5 available patterns for the Fibaro RGBW controller to any of your virtual/physical switches. This is really just an update to the Turn-on-Police-Light-When-Switch-Is-On.groovy smartapp that @twack posted earlier in the thread, the difference is this will allow you to select any switch as a trigger and then select any number of Fibaro devices (only Fibaro devices will be listed) and then select the pattern you want to activate with that switch. I used this to create virtual switches for my Amazon Echo to use so I can activate the various patterns by voice.
