Fibaro HC3 - Change Device parameter

[GeeMoney 3]

I Would like to change a device parameter of a Fibaro Dimmer 2 module.

Specifically Parameter 19 (Force Dimming Level) .

 

This worked perfectly in HC2 with the following code:

 

function modifyParameter(deviceID,parameterID,parameterValue,productInfo)

  local ok, result, parameter

  device=api.get("/devices/" .. deviceID)

 

  if device.properties.productInfo ~= productInfo then

    fibaro:debug(

      string.format(

        "Device %d property prodInfo %s differs from %s.\nNothing written to device.",

        deviceID,device.properties.productInfo,productInfo))

    return

  end

 

  for _,v in pairs(device.properties.parameters) do

    if v.id==parameterID then

      parameter=v

      break

    end

  end

 

  if not parameter then

    fibaro:debug(

      string.format(

        "Device %d does not seem to have parameter %d.\nNothing written to device.",

        deviceID,parameterID))

    return

  end

 

  local settings = {

    id=device.id,

    properties={

      parameters=device.properties.parameters

    }

  }

 

  parameter.value=parameterValue

 

  ok, result=pcall(api.put,"/devices/" .. device.id,settings)

 

  if not ok then

    fibaro:debug("api call failed: "..result)

    return

  end

end

 

-- Uncomment one of the lines below.

-- Change first argument = your device ID 

-- 3-click the button on the device to set the parameter.

-- Check status window: "Received parameter 1 report, value ="

 

-- Less sensitivity on FGMS-001 v2

--modifyParameter(795,1,20,"1,15,8,1,16,1,3,2")

 

-- Less sensitivity on FGMS-001 v2

modifyParameter(101,19,10,"1,15,1,2,16,0,3,5")

 

But in HC3 I can see it is changing the value of Parameter 19 but when I turn on the device it goes to my value setting for half a second and it bumps up the lights to 40% immediately.

No matter what value I set on Parameter 19, the value get's changed by the above code as I can confirm this after running it and checking the device but it only works for half a second and it always bumps up the lights to exactly 40%.

None of the other parameters on the device have a value of 40 so I can't tell why it is doing this.

Anyone have a suggestion ?

Aparantly it can be done on some devices with the following. Code:

hub.call(device-id,”setConfiguration”,parameter,byte-length,new-value

 

So in my case:

hub.call(101,"setConfiguration",19,1,30)

 

101 is ny device-id, 19 is the parameter to adjust, 1 is the byte length and the new value is 30.

 

However, this is not possible on Dimmer 2 devices. 
 

To get your device details like byte-length and possible parameters and values:
