Hello Everyone. I have what I consider a pretty typical setup. A nest and FIbaro lights and smokes. Pretty basic 10 circuits, nothing special happening here. While I think the Fibaro app is pretty decent, I wanted something I little more focused and polished for me. So, I have built a Android and IOS app which is modelled on the look and feel of the Savant app: https://www.savant.com/product/savant-app The app is fully working, just need a visual improvement - but it looks decent already. Its a side project - so dev will happen when i have time. I never planned on realising this in the wild, but a few people who have seen it love it - so thinking about submitting to relevant stores. Its boring features are: - Picks up weather and such like - Pick up NEST information (via Fibaro home centre or home centre lite) - Get all relevant devices from the system - Allows you to input your IP / user / pass (and saves) to allow connectivity to the home centre / lite (can use dyndns for those not on static IPs at home) - Runs via HTTP - so will work inside and outside the home. (use local IP on the internal only devices) The more interesting features are: - Allows you to (So much easier than Fibaro) create scenes on the app - in a lovely interface. - Will sync all settings of the scenes with either the Fibaro box, or Dropbox (or similar) - Might make it control the Nest also and other device types which fit within the focus of the app & alerts - Keeps the device alive if desired (prevent screen off) What im looking to do: - Get some flush wall mounts of ipad Minis / Andriod tabs made up (using 3D printers to keep costs low) - Have these as wall mounted control centres - keep the cost very low. - Allow people to re-use these old devices - rather than capture dust in a draw. Is there much appetite for such stuff in this community? If so ill look to finish it up and develop. Ill probably put it up as a paid app, mainly to cover costs and support / continious development. I will stress this is not a replacement for the Fibaro app - its just more focused and beautiful.

Czy ktoś z Was ma bezproblemowo działającą instalację z Dimmer-em a za nim zasilacz triakowy do LED? Dostaję sporo informacji, że taki układ jest mało stabilny i zasilacze padają jeszcze na gwarancji. Niestety nie mam już możliwości dołożenia przewodów by do włącznika doprowadzić 12V z normalnego zasilacza i wówczas dać moduł RGBW. Potrzebuję taki zasilacz 12V 48W i 12V 18W. Ewentualnie pozostaje mi ustawić Dimmer ręcznie jako praca bez ściemniacza -> zwykły zasilacz LED -> manualny ściemniacz gdzieś ukryty bez współpracy z Fibaro. Z góry dziękuję za wszelkie sugestie

I have two motion sensors and two dimmers installed to control hall and landing lights. I have successfully configured an association for the hall sensor and dimmer so that the lights come on at night when the motion sensor is triggered. However, I cannot get the same to work for the other motion sensor and dimmer on the landing - the motion sensor is being activated but the dimmer isn't being activated. The settings on both (set using Vera control panel) are identical: Any ideas how I can get the second one working or is this a known limitation wth Fibaro devices?

Sync LED dimming with RGBW and Dimmer 2 association
flux_capacitor posted a question in Dimmer and Bypass
Hi, Is there a way to associate a RGBW controller (FGRGB-101) as a master, with a Dimmer 2 module (FGD-212) as a slave, either as a Z-Wave direct association or with a LUA script on the main controller? My goal is to dim LEDs connected to 110-240V AC, with a distant low voltage RGBW module. LEDs are connected to a Dimmer 2 module. 30 feet away, a 12V DC RGBW controller interprets the variable output of an analog sensor. I'd like to dim the distant LEDs accordingly to the level the RGBW module would set if it was directly connected to equivalent 12V DC LEDs. In other words, can the dimming level information of an RGBW controller be passed to a Dimmer 2? I know that two RGBW modules can be synchronised, but I don't know if an RGBW module and a Dimmer 2 module can be synchronised. -
Hi everyone! I am new to Fibaro (and home automation in general) but so far I really like what I see! If I may use your collective expertise - I have couple RGBW controllers that I use to control LED strips (white only) around the house. Since I don't have any color LEDs, I use the controller in the input/output mode to control several strips from one unit. This works perfectly except that now the light does not show under lights in the mobile app. I have to go to "rooms" - "bedroom" in the mobile app to see the light and control it. Is there a way to clasify the outputs as lights so that they show up properly? Thanks! Jan

Has anyone ever connected a 0-10V controller to the RGBW module? Here's the problem that I am facing: I have connected a LED strip to the 0-10V controller which is connected to one of the channels of the RGBW module, say White. The dimming of the strips works great except one issue, it works in the opposite manner. It means that the LED strip goes to 100% brightness when I turn it OFF from the interface and when I turn it to maximum brightness the LED goes OFF. I have even checked the voltages from the RGBW module. It gives +10v when I turn it OFF from the interface and gives 0v when the slider is set to maximum brightness. I have got same results on other RGBW modules too. But, I was able to work around a solution on the HC2 using VD & LUA. But, I can't figure what I am doing wrong. Is there any way to fix this issue on HCL?

Hello everyone! I'm trying to figure out a good block scene to help elder people in their bedroom, during night (e.g.: Wake up to go to the bathroom at night). I'm using motion sensor + dimmer modules + door sensor. My concern: not trigger the scene with motion sensor while he/she is moving in bed during sleep time, but only when he/she stands up to go to the bathroom. Any tips?

The slider for a multilevel output (ie: dimmer) should scale based on the minimum and maximum levels setup in the parameters for the device. Example: Minimum device output level set to 20% Maximum device output level set to 70% Slider 0% = 20% output Slider 50% = 45% output Slider 100% = 70% output As of v4.082 the slider is set to the actual output %. This makes devices with a narrow min/max range hard to control.

1182 Hello everyone, I'd like to add a dimmer on lights, that are operated with several momentary wall switches (bushbuttons). I do not really understand the wiring diagram in the user guide on fibaro.com. Do I need to install the dimmer module right at the relay in the fuse panel or is it possible to connect it at a momentary switch? The diagram shows the connection of lines to the S1 and Sx port. But WHAT lines (L, N)? Where do they go on the "other" end? Thanks for your help! Frank

Hi, I searched an searched and can't find this .. (so presumably its very easy ) I'm trying to find the http request syntax (that I can drop into a browser) to set the dimmer level of a fibaro dimmer I tried http://192.168.1.90:80/api/devices/92/action/setValue/50 and http://192.168.1.90:80/api/devices/92/action/setValue=50 and a few others It would the dimmer equivalent of http://192.168.1.90:80/api/devices/720/action/turnOff Does anybody know the correct syntax Thanks -F EDIT not sure if this helps but I plugged it into the HC2IP/doc page and it came back with no content I need a full string as I'm working (trying to) with OpenRemote

Is there a way for a scene to trigger each time a push button connected to the S2 input on a dimmer with the scene activation setting enabled is activated? I can only seem to trigger the scene when the sceneActivation state changes. ie: double click after single click. I'm trying to setup a sensor override push button where the following should occur: single click = toggle light (on/off) + enable sensor override hold = start dimming light + enable sensor override release = stop dimming light double click = disable sensor override When the sensor override is disabled, the motion sensor will have control of the light. Cheers.

Hi, I have a first gen Dimmer module. It has been working great until I updated to 4.080. At first I could not understand why the dimmer lights it control will not switch on or off when I press the switch, but the associated lamps do. I had to revert to the iphone app to switch of my lights. I then realised that it is because the dimmer's settings (parameter 14) reverted back to it's default value of "momentary switch". I use a toggle switch to control these lights (dimming is done via the app). I need to change this setting to option 1 - Toggle Switch, but every time I make the change and press save, it just reverts back to option 0 - momentary switch What am I doing wrong? Is anyone experiencing the same or has found a solution?

Dimmer 2 stuck at one light level with bypass 2 and 5 led bulbs
hetbeest posted a question in Dimmer and Bypass
Hi all, I've been searching and reading in this forum and haven't found my exact problem and it's solution just yet. I have a dimmer 2 (fgd212) connected to 5 Pharox 4W led bulbs. I've bridged the leds with the Bypass 2. I've got a dual momentary switch connected to the dimmer, just like in the Fibaro manual, see the attachment. The dual momentary switch is connected with leads between 5 and 10 cm. When I connect the dimmer to power, it starts calibrating. The leds go in increments from off to full bright, so the dimmer is able to get the leds at different light levels. After calibrating the leds get stuk on a single light level, I guess something like 30%. The don't switch off, they don't burn at full level, not through the HC2, nor with the momentary switch. I've looked at all parameters, changed them, did exclusions and reinclusions of the dimmer, etc. No luck. I connected the dimmer to a old fashioned light bulb, not using the bypass, furthermore the same setup. I just had to enable the S2 switch in the settings and it works flawlessly. What could be wrong with the led setup? Thanks in advance, Evert

Witam, zakupiłem dimmer fgd 211 v2.2, mam centralkę HCL aktualizowaną do 4.080 Z centralką mam sparowanego wall pluga, działa dobrze. Podłączyłem dimmer w puszce zgodnie ze schematem, wrzucam w centralce dodawanie urządzenia i tryb uczenia, jednak po trzykrotnym naciśnięciu przycisku B w dimmerze centralka go nie znajduje i nie paruje się z nim. Dodam że po podłączeniu dimmera i załączeniu zasilania światło się zapala. Proszę o pomoc

We have several projects. And only 2-wire connection available for all light sources. So we decided to use Fibaro Dimmer 2 configured as Switch. We stucked with several interesting problems: 1) We have 400Watt light sources. Halogen lamps. Is there any amplifiers which able to connect to Fibaro Dimmer 2 in order increase power? Is it really possible with 2 wire connection? 2) We have vacuum fans (30 Watt). We aren't able to control motors with Fibaro Dimmer 2. I guess consumption is very big on start, and dimmer turns off.

When I build a scen blockscene and use the command "Turn on" then the dimmer turn on the light to the last used level. But if I use the command "Set value" and use the value "50" (or "100" or "255") nothing happens. How to do if I want a scene to activate the dimmer to a certain level, e.g. 50%?

I have installed a TKB Dimmer Socket to control a table lamp in my hall connected to Fibaro motion detector. The scene sets the lamp at 80% initially and when no motion is detected for a set time it reduces it to 25% and turns it back up when motion is detected etc. I know there is no template for this device and may be that is my problem. I have requested one from Fibaro. However the issue is the bulb flickers for a while when it first comes on, it has a dimmable LED bulb in it. After about 20 minutes it settles down. Anyone else experiences this or have a cure for it ? Thanks Andy

I have tried to install a Fibaro Dimmer 211 module in various ways based on diagrams found on internet, but without succes. As you can see in the attached diagram, I have two switches that switch 2 lamps (only one on the diagram). Currently my switch has 3 connections: a double brown, a gray and a black wire. I have shown the other existing wires in the switch box in the diagram (an additional brown, 3 blue and 3 green) Can anyone tell me how to correctly install the Dimmer 211? Many thanks in advance, Sven

Hi, My current dimmer is installed on a place i cannot reach easily therefore i like to replace it with a fibaro dimmer. Can i remove the physical dimmer and only use the fibaro dimmer? all drawings i found are based on using the dimmer including physical dimmer or switch. Thanks,

I am using centre off two position momentary switches. I would like to be able to Dim Up / Dim Down by holding the buttons closed. Using Scene Activation IDs 12 / 22 (Hold), is it possible to cycle dim from the current level to max / min respectively? Thanks.

How to connect a Fibaro RGBW controller to a 220v LED strip 220v LED strips can run for 50m vs 12vDC/24vDC that have a limitation of 5m/10m (then you need to start adding amps, additional controllers and return wires) You will need: 1. Fibaro RGBW controller x 1 2. Home Center 2 3. Fibaro Dimmer x 3 4. 220v RGB LED 50m roll Connect before each of the R,G,B lines a dimmer on each line. Let's call them RDimmer, GDimmer and BDimmer The RGBW controller will not be connected to any LED strip. It is just used as an interface for the users. RGB device ID is 100 RDimmer is 101 GDimmer is 102 BDimmer is 103 Create a scene and add the following code. Change the device IDs with your own. CODE --------------------------------------------------------------- --[[ %% properties %% globals --]] local colorSet = fibaro:getValue(100, "lastColorSet"); local RGBWTable= {}; local i = 1; for value in string.gmatch(colorSet,"(%d+)") do RGBWTable = value; i = i + 1; end local RRR = math.floor((RGBWTable[1] / 2.55)) ; local GGG = math.floor((RGBWTable[2] / 2.55)) ; local BBB = math.floor((RGBWTable[3] / 2.55)) ; fibaro:call(101, "setValue", RRR); fibaro:call(102, "setValue", GGG); fibaro:call(103, "setValue", BBB);

Last week I got 2 x FGD212 dimmers, 3 x Popp 123850 plug dimmers and 1 x WallC-S2 wall controller. Before I received the HC2, I used the wall controller as primary controller on all 5 dimmers, both dimming and on/off worked like it was supposed to, with buttons 1 and 3. Now I've set up the HC2, with the wall controller as a second controller, working with the Popp dimmers through association, still with buttons 1 and 3, and have no problem what so ever. I'm still able to dim and switching on/off. Inclusion of the FGD212 dimmers went smoothly, and they can be controlled from HC2, even from within scenes triggered by the wall controller. What I can't do, is use the "Switch On/Off and Dim (send Basic Set and Switch Multilevel)" I currently have working with the Popp dimmers, with the FGD212s. I've associated them in the same manner as the ones working, but get no feedback from the FGD212s. I have searched all over for similar problems, but can't seem to find anything. Is it a parameter that needs to be altered to get it working like it was without the HC2? Any help is appreciated! PS: As of now I'm using HC2 ver. 4.058 beta, but I've also tried 4.057 beta and 4.056.
