One Aeotec LED bulb and two Nodon switches


Ole

Question

Hi! I'm trying to get something really simple to work properly. I have one Aeotec LED bulb in the ceiling and two Nodon light switches, one by the door and one by the bed. I want to control the bulb using either of the two switches. The switches have four buttons that I want to assign three different light intensities to and the fourth switch to turn off the light. I have made four simple block scenes in my HC2 that are assigned to the four buttons on the switches. BUT, it doesn't work every time! Sometimes it will work on the first press, sometimes I have to push a button 4, 5, 6, 7 times before the light turns on and it is so annoying that I sometimes just want to throw the whole system out the window. Something this simple should work every single time, and so I am hoping someone can tell me how to set this up so that it will work properly.

I have 1 nodon wall switch and its working wel.

How do you use the nodon? Have yuo made scenes? And with battery do you use?

 

You can also set parameter 8 for the led setup of the nodon. You can get a reaction if the command is confirmed the led blinking.

  • Yes I have added the scenes I made to the "1 click" sections for each button. See attached images.

    I have don this in the beginning and i had a lot of problems. Later i have a lua scene and added there the switches and the problems are gone. 

    I have set parameter 3 to 1 and added the next scene script. 

     

    After then you put for example 

    ------------------------------------------

    if Buttonpress == But1_ED1 then

     If(tonumber(fibaro:getValue(id_switch, "value")) >=1)

       Then

         fibaro:call(id_switch, "turnOff")

    Else

    fibaro:call(id_switch,"turnOn")

    End

    --------------------------------------------

     

    --[[
    %% properties
    296 sceneActivation
    %% globals
    --]]

    -- thange 296 to ID nodon

    if fibaro:countScenes()>1
    then
    fibaro:abort()
    fibaro:debug("abort")
    end

    local WallSwitch = 296 -- ID nodon

    local ButtonPress = tonumber(fibaro:getValue(WallSwitch, 'sceneActivation'))

    -- Button left obove

    local But1_ED = 10 -- 1x press
    local But1_DD = 13 -- double press
    local But1_DV = 12 -- press holt
    local But1_VL = 11 -- holt release

    -- Button right obove

    local But2_ED = 20 -- 1x press
    local But2_DD = 23 -- double press
    local But2_DV = 22 -- press holt
    local But2_VL = 21 -- holt release

    -- Button left under

    local But3_ED = 30 -- 1x press
    local But3_DD = 33 -- double press
    local But3_DV = 32 -- press holt
    local But3_VL = 31 -- holt release

    -- Button right under

    local But4_ED = 40 -- 1x press
    local But4_DD = 43 -- double press
    local But4_DV = 42 -- press holt
    local But4_VL = 41 -- holt release


    if ButtonPress == But1_ED then

    elseif ButtonPress == But1_DD then

    elseif ButtonPress == But1_DV then

    elseif ButtonPress == But1_VL then
    ------------------------------
    elseif ButtonPress == But2_ED then

    elseif ButtonPress == But2_DD then

    elseif ButtonPress == But2_DV then

    elseif ButtonPress == But2_VL then
    ------------------------------
    elseif ButtonPress == But3_ED then

    elseif ButtonPress == But3_DD then

    elseif ButtonPress == But3_DV then

    elseif ButtonPress == But3_VL then
    ------------------------------
    elseif ButtonPress == But4_ED then

    elseif ButtonPress == But4_DD then

    elseif ButtonPress == But4_DV then

    elseif ButtonPress == But4_VL then

    end

  • Do you use any wake-up interval on the Nodon switch? It seems like I have to wake the switch by pressing it the first time which is so annoying, the second time I press it the light comes on.

    I don't have this problem. But have you this problem with both switches? And set parameter 8 to 3 in my first post. Jou can see if the switch is sent or received.

  • Only one of them gives me the double green flash after blue flash when pressing a button. I'll try resetting the other one.

     

    Edit: I have tried resetting and re-adding the switch with no luck. The switch confirms reset, and I set the HC2 to include. I then do the procedure on the switch for inclusion, but nothing happens. Have tried restarting the HC2 as well. First I tried to reconfigure which didn't work. I then had to force remove it from the HC2 and reset the switch but as said, that hasn't worked. The switch is in the same room as the HC2. Could there still be something left to remove from the HC2 before it can be added again? Haven't found any hidden devices still left.

    I had in the beginning also problems and i have emailed to nodon. The say that i must replace the battery to a Duracell battery.  I don't know what you using but you can give it a try.

    I'm using what came with the switch, Energizer. Tried one from IKEA too, didn't make a difference.

    Try a Duracell that solves my problem. I have selling a lot of the nodon and never i get complaints, or contact the seller for a new nodon.

  • Tried again now with a brand new ikea battery (didn't have Duracell at the store I went to), and after a few more tries (more than 20 total) it was added to the HC2. Will try my new setup over the weekend and see if it holds up. Since I am not familiar with LUA, I have created new block scenes that are set up differently. Thanks for your help so far @Reinhold

    No problem. If you wil i can set the lua for you. You can copy this in a scene.

  • I can't believe it, but that worked. I changed to Duracell a few weeks ago and the switches have worked every single time after that. Must be a slight increase in voltage or something that makes the difference. Thanks @Reinhold !
