Question
dcspock 17
Hi all,
My idea was very simple but seems to be a bit more difficult.
I have a monetary switch in the wall (with power) and the FGD211 Dimmer attached to it (no lamp!).
On the press of the switch I want to switch on/off another module on the opposite side of the room (via scene) with a lamp attached.
First, I created a LUA scene which was activated by the press of the dimmer-switch (and turned the switch module on or off respectively). It kind of worked - but the dimmer showed a very weird behavior. It changes its value on its own (!) at random time. I noticed as this triggered the scene an turned on the light. Very strange.
Then, I created two block scenes, on which "if dimmer = on then switch module = on" and the other with "off". Works fine when I turn the dimmer module of via browser - but now I cannot even get the dimmer module to turn off at all via the wall switch.
I made some experiments with the parameters 10 to 14 as suggested in some other posts - with no luck.
Does the dimmer module need a load attached to it, mandatorily? Could I use one or two dimmer bypass (have several around)?? Or any other idea? Maybe mine was stupid from the beginning...?
Thanks for any suggestions...
