Fixed: A couple of z-wave issues following 7.5 upgrade

I have two lights, both FGD212's, that now flash-on and then immediately off again when no off command has been sent. I have other FGD212's working OK though.

On one FGD211, this will start a sync and receive a neighbour list, but fail quite quickly with a timeout error every time. Again, I have other FGD211's working OK though.

Neither of the above problems I noticed prior to the upgrade.

I have gone through all the Advanced Parameters for a Fibaro FGB212 dimmer module and cannot see anything untoward.

Every time I switch this light on, either by the physical switch or via the Indigo GUI, it switches off again by itself about a second later (no associated triggers).

Event Log:

This is pretty strange. I'm not sure how this would be related to the 7.5 release. Did the problem start right after upgrading? Did you re-sync the devices, then the problem started? In general, Indigo will log when it is sending out commands to the modules, so it doesn't look like this is coming from Indigo.

Have you tried excluding the devices, re-including, and then re-syncing it?

If none of that helps, then re-sync both one of the FGD211s that has the problem and one of the ones that doesn't, then copy/paste the Event Log results of both into a reply so we can compare them.

Argh! Was hoping not to do this as the dimmer module is under the floorboards - oh well.

Yes it happened after the upgrade, when the first thing I did was to resync all the z-wave devices for good measure and then that's when I noticed I had some issues.

If you can find the Event Log file and locate the actual sync (right after the upgrade) of one of the problem modules that would be very interesting to see. I'd be curious to see what commands Indigo sends/receives during that process. Maybe Indigo changed some configuration parameter that is causing the module to perform an auto-off.

OK, I've fixed the FGD212 issue turning off by itself. Google mentions a lot of over-current issues with this Fibaro module, so I tried changing z-wave parameter 39 Power Limit - OVERLOAD (2-bytes) from 250 to 350 and it worked!

https://manuals.fibaro.com/content/manu ... T-v1.3.pdf

Looks like this issue probably is not related to v7.5 upgrade, but may have been provoked when I initiated a sync perhaps?

While it might be possible, I cannot think of how it would be related to the 7.5 upgrade. Indigo doesn't define UI for parameter 39 so upon sync it doesn't even try to read out that configuration value (much less change it).

My FGD211 now works today and I have not done anything! I could not get this to sync passed "assigned return route" yesterday, All is now working
