Unreliable Association Action on FGD211

[Guest ip9]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a few places in my house where there is only one set of wires to a location where I prefer to have two sepparately switched (dimmable) lights.

 

So right now I have (where + is a switch, L is Life, N is Neutral):

 

L------+-------Li

N--------------ght

 

 

So my thought was, Z-Wave would be ideal to "bridge" that gap:

 

L---------------------------------

          (a)          (b)           ©

N---------------------------------

 

with

(a) representing either a FGD-211 oder FGS-221 with two mono stable buttons connected, but no lights

(b) and © each representing a FGD-211 whith no buttons connected but each of them switching/dimming one light/LED bulb

 

For (a) I thought I would set an association in group 1 and 2 to control (b) and ©

 

ok... I already did that, using the mentioned devices, a ZME_UZB1 Z-Wave controller and openhab.

All devices are currently within the same room, less than 3m apart.

 

And it kind of works. But very unreliable...

Clicking S1 on (a) mostly switches (b), even dimming (press and hold) sometimes works.

But probably around 50% it doesn't - so it's nothing I could present to my wife and tell here this is going to be the way we switch our lights now (nor would I accept it)

 

Any ideas what I did wrong, what I should configure in a different way?

 

My current config (different settings didn't change anything to the better):

1: all on/off disabled

6: separation of association sending (key1): map status to all devices in group 1

7: control key #2 behavior: status not checked

8: dimming step at automatic control: 1

9: time of manually moving between extreme dimming val: 5

10: time of automatic moving between extreme dimming val: 1

11: dimming step at manual control: 1

12: maximum dimmer level control: 99

13: minimum dimmer level control: 40

14: Mono-stable input

15: enable double click

16: state saved

17: 3-way switch: disable

18: synchronizing light level for associated devices: enable

19: change on-off bi-stable keys: device changes status on key status change

20: Parm 20 (what is this anyway?): 110

30: deactivation - no response to alarm frames

39: alarm flashing time: 600

41: scene functionality deactivated
