Number of slaves, Fibaro FGS211 switch

[Henrik 24]

Hi,

 

I've a few Fibaro FGS211 (version 2.1) switches in my system and they all have three slaves.

 

Is this correct? I can understand that there should be one for S1 and one for S2, but what could the third be?

Anyone who knows?

 

Must be others out there with Fibaro FGS211 in their system.

3 child devices is right...

You can see it this way... One slave represents the default device. It exists for backwards compatibility, when Z-Wave did not know about devices with multiple functions (think about single endpoint association and multiple endpoint association). It's sort of a copy of S1, so another module (with rather old firmware) will always be able to associate and control the first relay (but not the second relay). Fibaro V4 shows you hows the module represents itself, so while it may seem odd, it is actually correct. Does this help?

I hope that will explain evrything

137 device - type of device - zwave device in this situation - always hidden only not configurated device got it visible

(137.0)Live core LITE - root device (sending frame to him he will turn on all device or only 1 channel of device) used in associations normal called endpoint 0 - in HC will be hiden in most devices if it is multichannel device, not support multichannel associations

(137.1)Live core S1 - channel 1 (endpoint 1) sending frame to this device will turn on only this channel; may support multichannel asociation

(137.2)Live core S2 - channel 2 (endpoint 2) sending frame to this device will turn on only this channel; may support multichannel asociation

if device support for example in root temperature sensor then you will get next device

(137.0.1) temperature sensor

This is my FGS222 config:

 

Master:

ID 100 (Icon is a box, not a switch like the others)

 

Slave:

ID 101 (Named "Lamp 1")

ID 102 (Automatically called "100.1")

ID 103 (Named "Lamp 2")

 

So based on the info above, I guess my ID102 would be the "Live core LITE"?

This is my FGS222 config:

 

Master:

ID 100 (Icon is a box, not a switch like the others) with logo z-wave - z-wave device

 

Slave:

ID 101 (Named "Lamp 1") - root devices (original name 100.0)

ID 102 (Automatically called "100.1") channel 1

ID 103 (Named "Lamp 2") channel 2 (original name 100.2)

 

So based on the info above, I guess my ID102 would be the "Live core LITE"?

Thanks, clarifying
