How to choose the correct Fibaro Relay Switch

chrisboer

Which Fibaro Relay Switch should I select, as there are multiple to select.

I have the Relay Switch 2x1,5kW or FGS-222 EU v2.2

Improvement to Homey Fibaro devices
Would it not be more easy to change the naming so you directly can pick the correct one so FGS-222 ?

Just pick add zwave and the app will pick the right driver for you

Thanks for the quick reply but how do I put it in learn mode ? With the S1 I have to add a switch to toggle the learning mode... can I also put the brown wire in there ?
I will use this switch not for lights but as a switch for a garage door, so I now have to make a detour to get this working

Thanks it works... I had to reset my switch before it got recognized. But it picked up the correct one indeed. I now have the next challenge .... range ;-)

can use a range extender or another device with routing capability inbetween homey and garagedoor switch

For the next time, hover your mouse over the name, it will show you the full module name (there is already a ... behind the name to indicate that it is shorter name)
It's just the names Fibaro gave their devices, FGS-222 = a code name not the real name

Do you have example products for a range extender ?

That still does not solve the problem as I still can not tell by hovering which device I should select. But anyway already added it via Z-wave so no issue there it picked it up ok.

@chrisboer try reading the devices box for the name (it also states Double Relay Switch 2) or the readme file/app description which has the entire list of code names AND normal names accordingly

And try hovering the name, not the icon 

chrisboer

I did hover the name I don't see anything else then the Double Relay Switch 2 or any full name of the device. Where can I read the file/app description ? By the way I am on windows 10 which might be different than your system.

caseda

Double Relay Switch 2 = the full name, that is also on your product box  

Description is of course in the app store:
https://apps.athom.com/app/com.fibaro

chrisboer

No it is not Relay Switch is on my box. But there are 3 double relay switches and 3 relay switches in the overview. If you would change it to FGS-222 or FGS-221 or whatever you would directly know what item to pick and you don't have to check all of them. Also when it is not working via Fibaro device adding. I added the device now by Zwave option. But anyway it was only a "improvement" request as this is not doable for people, at least not userfriendly.

@chrisboer ;;
FGS-222 isn't user friendly either because:
99 of the 100 web shops promote their Relay Switch with the "Relay Switch" name, not the code name FGS-222
and have yet to see a Product Box with not the "Relay Switch" name on them and seen many without the code name "FGS-222" on them

But to correct you here, there are only 2 double relay switches:
the Double Relay Switch and the Double Relay Switch 2
FGS-221 and FGS-222

then there is 2 singel Relay Switches:
Relay Switch and Relay Switch 2
FGS-211 and FGS-212

then there are 2 normal in wall switches:
(these work more like the dimmer (v1 and v2) then the relay switches)
Singel Switch 2 and Double Switch 2
FGS-213 and FGS-223

So the only difference then is also only a 1 a 2 or a 3, even less distinctive then using the normal names

Mmmmm maybe I am too much a geek that I think in product types instead of generic product names ;-)
