Fibaro RGBW - Always dimmed max when turned on

[Thorden 0]

Just got my first Fibaro RGBW controller, and is playing around with it. 
Plan is to primarily control it via associations and scenes, not any physical inputs.

My first concern is that the RGBW controller will not return to its previous state of brightness after being turned off by either a Fibaro dimmer V1 (FGD-211), or a Fibaro relay switch V1 (FGS-221). Both units has the RGBW as an associated device. When turned back on using single click on either dimmer or switch, RGBW LED brightness will resume at 2% (minimum dim level) every time. The individual channels looks to be right, i.e. the color will be like the previous state (hard to tell when max is 2%), just not the brightness level.

So this is what happens: I use the dimmer to set brightness to anything, for instance 50%. Then I single click to turn off, it turns off LED strip completely. Then I single click to turn on. LED strip comes back on, but with brightness at 2%.

My second concern is that syncing of dim level does not seem to be correct. Dimming up and down by using the Fibaro dimmer does work, but the two different loads (halogen for the dimmer, RGBW strip for the RGBW controller) will not be at the same level. I thought synchronizing should be just that, same level for both. This is how it works when using Fibaro dimmers associated with each other.

I have never controlled the RGBW using any physical inputs, just Vera GUI or associated devices.
All settings of the RGBW controller is default. The dimmer is default except the syncing of level with associated devices is enabled. (Parameter 18 set to 1).
 
Anyone who gets this to work correctly? 
Any suggestions appreciated!

I have not tried your combination, but I have a Fibaro Motion Sensor in my room which is used to trigger a scene if motion is detected and light levels are low enough to turn on a Fibaro RGBW controller to max brightness. The RGBW controller is associated to two other RGBW controllers and all the lights come on and go off successfully, and this has been running for many months. I'm using a HC2, but that shouldn't make any difference.

 

One issue I do have though is if the 12v power supply is removed and replaced to one of the devices in the association group, I need to remove all the devices and re-associate them all again for the RGBW unit which had the power interruption to ever work again.....
