Fibaro Dimmer 2 - Lamp & Scenes with a single switch

PeanudtPeanudt Member
in Devices
I have a lamp hooked up via a single momentary switch and a Fibaro Dimmer 2 (2-wire connection). I want to use the switch to turn the light on/off with 1 click and activate scenes with 2x and 3x clicks.

Now it seems that I can either use the switch to turn the light on/off and not activate scenes. Or when I reverse S1/S2 via the device settings in Homey, I can activate scenes but cannot use the switch to turn the light on/off.

Is it possible to toggle the light and scenes via a single switch via Homey?
Or do I need to buy a double switch?

    Might better logic do the trick for you?

    Thanks, managed to get it to work with Homey. 

    For those who want to know:
    Variable
    S1 - Boolean

    Flow 1
    IF Dimmer (S2) pressed 1x
    THEN Flip Boolean: S1 

    Flow 2
    IF variable S1 changes AND when Dimmer=On
    THEN Dimmer=turn off
    ELSE Dimmer=turn on

    In order to make it also work as a standalone solution, I assume I would probably have to use a double switch?

    LOL

    Tried before in 1 flow and it did not work with the "turn on/off" command, but if you use the single "turn on"' and "turn off" commands it works in a regular flow without variables.

    Flow
    IF Dimmer (S2) pressed 1x AND when Dimmer=On 
    THEN Dimmer=turn off
    ELSE Dimmer=turn on

    What's not working about this?
    3x click won't work because you put the dimmer in inclusion mode then, but 2x shouldn't be a problem. I use it too.

    If you do get a double switch, you will of course get a lot more combination possibilities.

    I have 2 scenes I want to trigger. If connected to S1, the light turns on/off with 1 click and a scène can be triggered by 2x click.

    If I connect the lamp to S2 on the dimmer I can trigger 2 scenes (2x and 3x click), but the light does not turn on/off with 1 click.

    You could create a flow to toggle your dimmer with a 1x click of the S2 switch.


    That way you can turn on/off the light with 1x S2, and you still have 2x and 3x left for triggering your other scenes
