BEWARE: Fibaro advertises on their website and on the product boxes for the US versions of the FGK-101 (door,window, and temp sensor if you ad the DS18B)
and the new FGMS-001 Motion Sensor (motion, light, temperature) that they display Fahrenheit. This is TOTALLY FALSE!
FIbaro is misleading US customers with this. When contacted, they said they "assume" you are going to use
"their" home automation control unit, (instead of Indigo).
BUT, note, the actual devices listed above will ONLY display in Celcius to Indigo. The only option we have is to use a
Python Script in Indigo to do a conversion and send it to a Variable to get Temp readings in Fahrenheit.
The Python Script conversion works well
BUT, that will only put the converted Fahrenheit reading in the Variable window, it will NOT display
in Fahrenheit in the main Indigo device window. (it still shows in Celcius there).
Fibaro has been called out on this misleading advertising for their so called "US versions" of these sensors, but they
still haven't changed the sensor's code or their misleading advertising to US customers. .
Fibaro needs to do the right thing and set the "US version" to display in Fahrenheit, so Indigo doesn't have to "fix" their problem.
