TravelerTraveler Member
in Devices
Hi guy's,
Ive recently purchased a Fibaro Double Switch 2 to activate my outdoor and hallway lightning and am hitting a brick wall with the wiring.

I tried following this video:  but without succes.
(note: the switch comes with a power socket attached)
I have the following wiring available:

    So what is your question exactly?? 

    Guess you want to keep your powersocket?  The socket and the switch usses the brown wire (L) for the socket and the switch and is internal conected. So there is no way for as i know to keep the socket Always powerd on.

    I indeed want to keep the socket. I got this far before becoming confused with the wiring:

    forget what is sayd before, you can keep using the socket. as in the video take 2 wires from the switch to the fibaro as shown on the video.

    And also take 1 brown (L) and a Blue(N) to the socket. make sure the Brown wire is on the same point where it was before. then it should work

    The socket needs brown and blue (Fase en nul)
    The switch is switching the Fase (brown)

    So the 2 black wires coming out of the box goes to Q1 and Q2.
    2 other (new) black wires coming from ur switch goes to S1 and S2

    Many thanks, I figured it was going to go that way after thinking for a bit. I'm going at it again tomorrow, it's to dark now to turn off the lights <span>:dizzy:</span>

    I was trying to draw it out for myself, but going blank again.
    Following?

    1. unplug socket
    2. use a connector to make 1 old + 2 new brown connector
    3. use a connector to make 1 old + 2 new blue connector
    4.  make 2 old + 2 new black connector
    5. connect new blue to N on fibaro
    6. connect blue on socket
    7. connect new brown to Q on fibaro
    8. connect new brown to socket
    9. Connect black Q1 and 2
    10. connect black to S1 and S2 to switch from fibaro

    Sounds good except 7.
    New brown goes to L on Fibaro

    i have everything wired up properly, Homey wont connect, doesnt see a z-wave item...
    Homey is like 1 meter away,
    I even have the adapter outside the wall to pair, used the switch 3 times AND pressed the connect button - nothing.

    EDIT: holding the button on the device itself makes a small LED light up, I figure thats an indicator that its in pair modus. That light does not turn on when I use the switch S1 (turn off/on/off/on/off/on) (start with lights on, off, on off, on off, on.
  • TravelerTraveler Member
    after an hour of turning lights off and on, pressing the button I've decided to unplug everything and return the switch device. 
    I put homey IN the socket right next ot the adapter and nothing.
  • RocodamelsheRocodamelshe Member
    Did u try to reset the Fibaro?
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    Sorry, but this seems like you did AND the wiring incorrectly (Homey not working on the socket) AND the pairing incorrectly (holding the button? You don't have to do that)

    Why don't you connect everything like you think it should be and then post a photo here so we can check? :) 
  • Count_BCount_B Member
    I was also struggling a while ago with a fibaro switch and when I rebooted Homey and tried to pair the switch  again everything worked. So maybe you can try that after you have checked the wiring.

  • EternityEternity Member
    Or, just connect brown and blue to the Fibaro, perhaps even with a spare power cord, and pair it to Homey. So, forget the other wires temporarily. See if that works. I did it this way to include my double switches. 
  • TravelerTraveler Member
    I've already returned the device. What Eternity states is a good idea, maybe next time.
    Wiring was also the way it should be, switching on/off through the switch worked fine.

    Wiring was exactly like the picture I uploaded in my previous post.

    Then why didn't the socket work? :)

    Let me correct what I said, the socket functioned without flaw. I had homey connected INTO that socket and the device wouldn't function. This was to describe how close homey was.

    Yes I pair all my zwave devices like this. Just have a powercord connected next to a laptop and include the switch etc in homey then install it. A lot easier and if the switch is faulty you have not gone thru the process of installing it ;-). 

    Btw did anybody get the powerusage to work on S2/Q2?
