Question about the double switch FGS-222.



UPDATE

Think I have found a solution....
This setting will probably do what I aim for. It was set to the second option (ON if the switch is in the ON position), but I have set it to the other option.




So, only read the rest if you are keen to learn from my mistake :-)


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




Is a trigger card ' switch has changed' possible?

Two trigger cards are available in the flow editor: 

Would it be possible to add a third: 'has changed' as in ' 'the on/off button has been pressed'
I believe I have seen other flow actions card that support this trigger.

Motivation
My curtains can be closed via various actions, by the App, various triggers I created on various smart phones (home members), by hand (...) and this flow:




After a Homey firmware, Homey reboots. It can be that the switch is still in the ON position; which will trigger the curtains flow and open them. As f/w updates happen over night, the curtains are (sometimes) open all night after a reboot.

No, don't think it is complicated.... the toggle command is a conditional on / off command handled within Homey; not a Z-wave command... based on the condition of the switch Homey recalls, it will send a ON command in case the switch is in the OFF condition and vice versa...

So setting up the motion sensor, with 255 (ON) at 'Motion detection ON command' and 0 (OFF) at 'Motion detection OFF command' should do the trick.

But there is a BUT...
The FGS-223 is a multi-channel device; S1 and S2 are two (different) end points (independently switchable) within 1 node(ID). Although the Fibaro Motion sensor supports Multi Channel Association (towards a NodeID + end point), this is not yet implemented in Homey v1.1.9.
So creating a direct association towards a multi-channel device (like the Fibaro FGS-223 or Greenwave powernode-6) will not be possible (for now). I will add this note to the guide above.

hey @TedTolboom, 
now with the firmware 1.5.2 multichannel association should be working.

can you tell me how i now can direct associate the fgs-223 s1 and s2?

Being summoned on Slack to answer a forum question.... that's a first ;-P

If you follow the above steps to set the right parameters, you still need to add the Node ID of the double switch to the right association group.
Group 2 is the group triggering based on motion alarm.
Here you need to add the Node ID of the FGS-223 and a .1 for the S1 and .2 for the S2 (seperated by a comma)....

In below example, the Node ID is 12:

Wake-up the motion sensor (3x press the B-button), press save and it should work...

Hm, that sounds interesting to avoid delays in my flows.... direct association.

So setting up the motion sensor, with 255 (ON) at 'Motion detection ON command' and 0 (OFF) at 'Motion detection OFF command' should do the trick.

If you follow the above steps to set the right parameters, you still need to add the Node ID of the double switch to the right association group.

I know the Node ID of my Fibaro switch (FGS-222) and now also know how to fill the Group 2 field. What do I need to setup in the motion sensor (Aeotec 6) to get this to work?


And, the Aeotec sensor seems capable to handle up to 5 Groups, but I only see 1 in the settings page?

@TedTolboom
thx you for answer. i will play with this when i am at home.
but can for example say, if motion detected then toggle with direct associatian s1 and s2?

Yes, and you could also play with the settings linked to this.... e.g. to only switch on the S1 and S2 and not switch off the lamps by the sensor (upon cancellation of the alarm) but by Homey...

Whereas Fibaro chooses to seperate functionality into different groups, Aeotec combines this into 1 group (in which you can add 4 additional devices)....

Trying to use the single group to set the association, I get a red line and can't update the setting. I can set the 29 (ID of the Fibaro, but without setting the S1 or S2).

Is this a Aeotec issue (bug)?

@Eternity there is still a bug (known to athom) that for some devices multichannel association is not working..

Eternity

Thanks @TedTolboom !
I was almost (...) doubting myself ;-)

I was already doubting you too... for posting Aeotec questions in the Fibaro topic 

caseda

It is no bug that some devices don't have it, there are just a lot of devices that can't send multi channel association, so if the note is not there, the device does not support sending endpoints along the association

Rocodamelshe

Should have been 29.1,1 also?
Or 1,29.1 ?

caseda

there is no difference in 29.1,1 and 1,29.1 you just switched the id's (node 29 endpoint 1, and node 1)

Rocodamelshe

Ow sorry, silly me.

Perhaps I should spread the question over multiple topics, it being
1. z-wave
2. Fibaro
3. Aeotec
2. Firmware 1.5.2
3. multichannel association
related.

Which in a way makes sense, as the forum search function is poor and other Homey users will also want to reap the benefit of the new firmware functionality.

Hi,

I see some posts from 2016 but, and comments on an update but I still face this problem.

I am trying to connect Fibaro Smoke Detector FGSD-2 and I press the button 3 times in all kind of speed and I have the detector next to Homey. No succes.

Any tips?

@bsmit did you try to reset the smoke sensor yet?

I have switched off the blinking setting for my plus fibaro motion sensor  but it is still blinking. I also did A wake up for the motion sensor but that didnt help. Am I doing something wrong?

ingmar

What each time works for me is change a setting of the sensor, hit save. (dialog: settings will be updated on next wakeup). Then wake up the device (click the b button) and update the settings to the correct value (dialog: settings saved). Sometimes you do need to this a couple of times, but in the end it worked for all my sensors (fibaro, aeotec, etc)

fiek

thnx, will try that

Do the battery percentages for anyone ever change? All of my devices show "100%" or "-" and never change.
Once, I removed the battery for a Door windows sensor and added it back, and it showed 32%. But then I removed and added the battery again, and it was back at 100%....

I want to switch off the  Motion sensor plus LED setting in the room of my daughter. My wife gets annoyed by the LED's blinking in the night when she is feeding our daughter.

I have set the setting on inactive and woke up the sensor several times. But the sensor still blinks. I want to make sure if this setting works. Can anyone confirm this?

I might be having the similar situation as you. For me, it went to Node Detected -> Node Identified -> Cannot reach device anymore. I did not even move it.

Going to try to reset the Smoke Detected and try.

I have the same problem. Tried several wake ups and settings saves, but it wont update the settings of the fibrao motion sensors (i have multiple, all unable to update the settings).. what am I doing wrong??

EDIT: After several resets of both homey and the FIBARO-sensors, imanaged to update everything. I dont know why i worked, but somehow it did..

I have three Fibaro Switches Two FSG-213 and one FSG223. I always have the issue that after 16-40hours the switches are no more reacting. Means either from Flow and also not from the direct Userinteface. Cant switch them on/off. I have Homey 1.5.3 and the newest Fibaro App.
If I reboot Homey everything start to working again. I tried to restart the Fibaro app this doesn´t help. The devices are only 6m away from homey. And always all 3 a no more working. I came from Devolo before and didn´t have issues before. Any Idea ? I am a new Homey user and in general I like the possibilities of the system but this basisc must work.
kind regards
Andreas

Can a Fibaro double dimmer act as a Fibaro switch?

I have FGS-222 switches installed but like the capability of the scene activation the dimmers have.
This would be possible if the dimmer can be overrules/bypassed/set to a simple  On/Off (no output / full load) function.

If that is possible, can S1 be set to On/Off and S2 still be capabele of scene selecting (1x, 2x 3x press)?
Or better still both S1 and S2 - 1x = on/off and multiple presses activate scenes. 


Thanks!

caseda

The fibaro dimmer 2 is no double dimmer, has 2 inputs but only 1 output.
But you can set it to just on/off

But if I may add on to your options, if you are buying a new one (and need 2 outputs) you can better go for the double Switch 2 (Fgs 223) which does have scene activation.
