Problem with Fibaro FGMS-001 sensor

I am planning a move from Vera lite/UI7 to Indigo 7 on Aeon Z-wave USB Gen 5 stick.
Currently installed the Indigo trial version, and trying to include my existing sensors, one of them being the Fibaro Motion sensor FMGS 001.
Doesn't seem to smoothly integrate. Apart from issues raised in this topic, I am also unable to associate the FMGS with a switch.
In the Manage Associations menu option, it only shows Indigo 001 z-wave as the only element. Even if I try adding the switch, it does not accept.

First things first, this model is fully supported in Indigo and has been for a long while.

Secondly, have you excluded it from Vera before you include it?

Thirdly, whilst you're including it, keep waking it up by pressing or triple-tapping the button inside it.

Don't bother trying to associate it until you've got it working in Indigo.

Many thanks for your reply.
I have fully excluded the FGMS -001 from Vera, even did a factory reset.
Included in Indigo, it shows up with it motion, temperature and luminance sensors. But no luminance value shows up, even after waking it.
Excluded and again included, this time the luminance and temperature do not show.
Tried association, still does not work.

I have noted that this module is fully supported by Indigo, so am wondering if I am doing something incorrect?

I don't know what default parameter values the module comes with, or which (if any - very rare) Indigo forces at inclusion time.

Have you set it to report luminance on a regular basis, or only when the luminance changes by a certain amount? (These are parameters, some of which are exposed in Edit Device, some may not be)
