Fibaro Dimmer 2

I think that it wasn't mentioned in the release notes, but the support for it is there.

I submitted the device information too. Would you prefer we didn't request these in the forums as well as fill out the form?

IMHO these are the best lighting modules on the market. I love them.

Hi Pete,

Thanks, we'll get that added to the next bug release (7.0.3). Posting on the forum (as well as submitting the device report) is fine. Squeaky wheel and all...

Indigo v7.0.3 is now available and includes the model ID used by your Fibaro Dimmer 2 (FGD212).

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure if I'm missing something with the Dimmer 2? What's the point of the "Switch 2" device within Indigo?

I get that you can configure the second switch for different functions within the device for dimming, etc. and you can configure it to register scenes if you click switch 2, but what's the point having an Indigo device for it? THE indigo device doesn't seem to do anything...

Pete

I presume if you're using it for scenes, Indigo needs to be able to create triggers on switch 2 versus switch 1?

You select switch 1. After enabling the scene feature on the device the logs also show all activity from switch 1.

Hi guys,

Im in the process of replacing lights by leds. for the Fibaro dimmer 2 you need a bypass2 module.
Ive set this up, but it was quite the hassle, because certain calibrations needed to be done on the module.

http://manuals.fibaro.com/content/manua ... T-v1.2.pdf

Are you able to update the module with parameter:
13 ( Force auto-calibration) p24 of link
30. (Load control mode ) p28 of link
32. (On/Off mode ) p28 of link.

I have 5 more modules i would now need to do manually, and european wallboxes are tight, so when it fits, dont touch anymore if i was able to do the calibration via Indigo that would be awesome!!

Hope you can help out. thanks!

Perhaps another thing,

for some reason when i go over 80% dimming, my lights turn off. Im not sure if it has something to do with the setting: Maximum value, or the setup with the bypass or the leds. But its annoying because the turn off at the end of turning up the lights.

Hi.
You can modify any of those parameters in Indigo. They are in the "modify configuration parameter" menu in interfaces.

Also regarding your lights turning off over 80% if you adjust the max dimmer value in the parameters that will fix it. Mine are set to around 65-75% depending on the LED lamps used.

Hope that helps.

I still don't get the need for a switch 2 on these? (Installed some this weekend)
You can use it to control other 2wave devices - but why? They're z-wave so you'd just control them from the controller surely??
Is anyone using the switch 2 on these?

No need at all, I just put it in the "Z_Not _Used" folder but would love to see a "Hidden" folder that removes items like that completely from all menus whilst it is in the Hidden folder.
OCD...Yes!

I use them in a couple of locations. It gives you a second physical switch at the plate which you can assign to Indigo triggers. The switch can't directly control another module. It just sends events to Indigo.

In the bedroom we use one to toggle the bedside lamps which are plugged in to a seperate z-wave module.

The only annoying thing about the implementation of the second switch is that you can't query its current state like regular devices. The module sends 'scene' commands which you need to capture via a trigger. You can't arbitrarily determine if the switch is open or closed.

Same use here for switch 2 - I use then to toggle other modules via indigo. Kitchen switch 2 toggles led lighting. Sitting room switch 2 toggles low lamp lighting.

I think they are very useful
