FGS 211 not added by HC2

[Casar 1]

I cannot add the FGS 211 to HC2. I wired the device, I put the HC2 in learning mode pressed B buuton and nothing... Anyone had this issue before?

 

Thanks!

Yes. For me the reset procedure (from the manual) worked.

holding B button for 3 secs?

The manual says "Reset by holding B button for 3 sec. after connecting mains voltage to the Switch". It's a bit open to interpretation. I've done it some time ago and if I remember well it'll work if you switch off the power, then hold the B button, switch on the power and keep holding for at least 3 seconds. BTW are you able to add other devices? Have you tried to reboot your HC2 and add it about 1 minute after reboot?

I've found this function a bit weird as well.  I find on some (might even be all) that keeping button B depressed actually starts dimming the light rather than including it.  It is probably due to the parameter settings for switch type, who knows.   What works for me seems to be clicking button B a few times (3) in quick succession;  ie I think this is equivalent to the 3 changes of state it talks about for normal switches if you use that method.

The include (add) method for all devices I own is a single click on the B button. Some allow a special sequence using an external switch. But this functionality, the reset method and wake-up sequence depend on the brand and device type. The FGS211 is a 3kW relay and it uses a single click to include and a 3 sec hold to reset. It doesn't need a wake-up after include because it is mains powered. A Fibaro Door/Window sensor needs a triple click to wake-up. So you really have to look up the manual for the correct procedure. Could you please try to find the manual for your dimmer and see if I'm right if I say it does not tell "keeping button B depressed" to do any of these functions?

I did not manage to include it using the B button but it work after I used the normal switch a few times which it was wired to the module and now it works fine.

Thanks a lot for the help!
