FGD 212 not working without load

[sjauquet 16]

I want to use a Dimmer 2 to send orders (association) to other zwave devices but not to command a load connected to it.

 

I've done this before with a fgd 211, I just connected it with L and N, no load and  just Sx, S1 and S2 and was able to send orders to wallplugs with lights.

 

I tried to do it with the fgd 212 but it looks like that with a detected "load error" association is not working.

 

Tried to force in manual mode without luck

 

Did someone already had this problem ?

 

Thanks.

FGD 212 requires to be connected to a load.

The official and supported way is to use a bypass 2 as a load.

Install the dimmer in 3-wire setup. Live to L, N to Neutral, bypass lead 1 to output, lead 2 to Neutral. Connect the switches.

Power the circuit... wait 20-30 seconds until the indicator flashes green.

Include the device as usual.

I used this setup to make an association from my dimmer S1 (group 2 = basic set) to a Fibaro Double Relay output 2.

Hi, after those 7 years did you have any issues with setup with bypass 2 ? Is this still working for you?
