And there is just strange settings: 

 

 

I have deleted it and added it 2 times with the same behavior. 

Any ideas or is it broken?

Not enough information. Going to try to help anyway

 

Does your load meet the minimum requirements outlined in the manual?

 

I guess the load explains this observation:

They might be 2-wire or 3-wire, with or without bypass. Too many variables.

 

Your autocal values (I know it is calibrated bacause p30 =2) make sense: p1 = minimum = 7 and p2 = 62.

 

Cannot judge that without having more details.

 

I guess your dimmer actually works, right? It is only the software part that looks a bit strange.

 

I would exclude the dimmer and include it with a >= 60 W incandescent light bulb just to see what happens.

 

I do not have an HC2 online, I cannot tell if the most recent firmware update changed anything here. My gut feeling says it is unlikely.

From your screenshot it seems that you remove check for "Use template for parameters". Just check that, save and then setup parameters as needed.

  • I have 3-wire configuration with 95-100W LED, no Bypass.

    I don't have the option to check Use template for parameters, it's not there.

    The first time I added the dimmer 2 to HCL was with no load connected. I was still waiting for the LEDs to arrive. May that be the problem?

     

    The dimmer is working, but the status of the light is not updating in Home Assistant

    So this is your main issue? Try this. Set the devices you do not need hidden on your HCL or HC2. Then restart home assistant to pick up the change. It is worth a shot.

    They are not hidden.

    Everything is working from Home Assistant, I can control the light etc.

    But if I turn of the light by the switch or from HCL it don't update in HA. I will change the Dimmer 2 to a new one now to rule out everything else.

    Yes, I understand that. I want you to hide them

    Does it update in HCL?

    Go ahead, but a "broken module" is very unlikely. Good to rule it out though.

    Yeah my HC2 is turned of, cannot check if it does that.

     

    If you cannot fix your problem, I will retrieve my HC2 from storage to help you

    Updated the firmware on the HCL to 4.630 and now everything works. I'm sorry I didn't see there was a new update.

    No need to apologise. Missing an update... it has happened to all of us at least once.

     

    Have fun with Home Automation!
