Hi, Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking to do. Vesternet have some good worked examples.

i just want to control 1 light connect to a fibaro dimmer 2, and then control it from another dimmer 2

May I ask why? It's enough with one dimmer if the are in a 2/3 way connection. Eg. I got 3 buttons for one of my lights, above this a got the fibaro dimmer. All 3 buttons controls the dimmer and can adjust the light.

i think i know what you wanna do.

enable scene activation in the parameters of the 2nd dimmer module.

 

then create a scene and under properties type:

 

ID sceneActivation

 

where ID is the ID of the 2nd dimmer

 

then if you are using the 3 way retractive momentary switch where you can dim up/down then the scene activation commands are:

double click up or down is 14

triple click down is 15

 

local sa = fibaro:getValue(ID2,'sceneActivation')

 

if (sa == '15') then fibaro:call(ID1,'turnOn') end

 

ID1 = light that needs controlling

ID2 = dimmer that is controlling it

scene 15 is triple click down

 

hope this makes sense

You should be able to set this up simply by going into the device you want to control the othe one with using s2 and go into associations. Set an association with the dimmer being controlled in group 5 (multilevel) of this controlling dimmer.

Save and wait a bit. Then you should be able to do what I think you want to do.

(Without relying on scenes to, which might break on controller update)
