Dimmer 2 toggle not working - solved


fpcampione

Question

Hi,

I'm new here and just started to set up my home automation.

Yesterday I installed my first z-wave device, a Fibaro Dimmer 2, but immediately hit 2 problems :-( I've tried the usual Google search, forum search etc but have not yet found a solution.

Hope that someone here could help me .

 

Problem 1:  I'm using the dimmer with a toggle switch. Tried changing parameter 20 to value 1 but this does not seem to work.

To turn the light on and off iI must flick the switch two times1!

Any advice?

My controler is the Vera Edge. Firmware  1.7.2139

 

Problem 2: When I turn the light off with the toggle switch the light dims to 1% instead of turning off completely. 

I've got a temporary workaround for this, I've set a scene 'When power usage <6 watts then turn light off' ! 

When turning the light off from the App or Dashboard then it does turn completely off.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

I've also got a wiring question for the Fibaro rely but will stick that in another topic.

It sounds like the parameter setting is not saving. Have you logged back in to your controller to check that the parameter has been saved?

    Hi fat,

    Thanks, I've reset the Dimmer and paired again, then sent the parameter. This time it worked and the switch works as is should. 

    Also the light turns off completely with the switch.
