Fibaro Dimmer 2, no dashboard update or power readings

simon3 · July 18, 2019, 9:59pm

I'm new to Hubitat and have just started adding a few Z-Wave devices but have come across a issue with the Fibaro Dimmer 2.

If I add it to a dashboard I don't see any update on screen if I manually switch the light off via the physical switch. The light works correctly with physical switch or if controlled in Hubitat, just no on screen update.

Also I don't see any of the power readings that the switch gives out either.

I have had a look through the forum for related issues but didn't see any definite fixes.

Thanks
Simon

Thanks, I've installed that driver and selected it for the device.
I've now got power meter which is working fine and updates without issues whether light is turned on or off with slider or manual switch.
However still no feedback from manually switching the switch on or off.

a lot of my rules are based on this and its working for me. Have you clicked configure on the driver? How strong is your mesh, it may not be getting though?
