Can Fibaro dimmers trigger scenes?

[hvb83 1]

To me it's currently not clear if Fibaro dimmers can trigger scenes or not? From the Vera forum I got that on the Vera this is not possible, but several posts suggested that this is the implementation in the Vera. Is this issue also present in the HC2?

What I want to do is when I press the light switch (triggering the dimmer), I want a Fibaro relais to be activated at the same time for some other devices.

From a technical / programming point of view I see no problem as to why this should not work, but from reading the Vera forum I've gotten a bit worried...

hvb83, in hc2 you can trigger scenes in dimmer by:

- status of device "if device is tun on/off then ... / if device is tun on less/more x% then...

- scene activation (only in beta) when you press button, 2-click,3-click etc with dimmer in version 1.9+ (" if you 2 click on button do ....")

I want my wall socket to turn on when I turn the lights (dimmer) on in my livingroom.

If I am right, I only need to create a scene that does this: (firmware 1.045)

No need to link it somewhere in the dimmer?

you creating only scenes and it will work when you gonna change state from turn off to turn on

You can also create association in dimmer settings. It's a bit faster than scene, and works even if HC2 is turned off for some reason. But in this case, wall socket will turn off if you turn off dimmer - I don't know if you want it to be like this.

Thanks for the replies.

The scene doesn't seem to work. Or I am missing something.

And associating the dimmer with the power outlet is not a good idea, as I don't want the socket to turn off when the lights are turned off...

Kids tend to play with light switches, and I wouldn't want to harm my electronics because the socket is behaving like christmas tree lights...

Is there any (real) good documentation on how to use the scenes?
