There have been multiple forum reports from people who tried these but could never get them to work. Looks like they are the wrong zigbee profile.

Zigbee Full Color Slave Controller RGB Wifi Controller WF323 DC12-24V

I found this device on ebay for only $25.99 I am going to order one of these and see how hard it is to write a device type for. This looks like a great option for RGB Led Strips especially if you want multiple independently controllable strips. I was also looking for something cheap enough to make a DIY RGB bulb for uplighting. I would also love to see some tiny generic z-wave or zigbee io modules that could be wired into existing sensors or applications without having to go the full arduino or raspberry route. I haven’t found an analog output or any input devices but I did find this at $30 + $30 for a xbee card it would give you a $15 per controlled output and be fairly easily integrated into projects. If anyone has a head start on drivers for these, or better routs to go I wou…

FAQ: Zigbee Application Profiles, or why not all zigbee devices work with SmartThings

Zigbee is always zigbee, but the standard allows for different "profiles,"including manufacturer proprietary ones. [image] These are not all able to communicate with each other, they don’t even use the same addressing schemes. SmartThings uses the Zigbee Home Automation profile (ZHA 1.2) and part of the Zigbee 3.0 profile. Devices using other zigbee profiles may be able to join to the network, but their communications may not be understood, or they may frequently drop off because they don’t receive a handshake message they are expecting. There a lot of different ways to explain this, but I think one of the easiest is to think of zigbee as a post office and the different profiles as different languages. The outside envelope for different messages may look similar, have a specific format…
