Fibaro Dimmer Driver / Toggle Switch

phillipbaaten · July 25, 2018, 9:18pm

Good Morning,

I am having an issue where my Fibaro Dimmers (have been using the Fibaro Dimmer 2 Driver) are stuck with a status of sync Pending: True when trying to change to a toggle switch.

Is there a Driver for the original Fibaro Dimmer?

Thanks,

Phil

Is anyone able to help with this?

We do not have a driver for this device.

phillipbaaten · July 27, 2018, 10:16pm

Just wondering if there is any plans to write a driver and if there is a voting system etc for drivers people need?

Thanks

We do plan to write one. We don't have that device, which is why we haven't yet. Will see if we can get our hands on one.

We have the double, single and dimmer headed to the Lab, so we'll get on these drivers when they arrive.

Thanks a million

General fibaro switch/dimmer question...
All of these support the use of a push button (ie momentary contact) switch in lieu of a traditional toggle/paddle (SPDT) switch, is anyone using them in this configuration?
If not, I'll leave those configuration elements out of the drivers I'm working on.

I am using them with a traditional switches such as the one below:

Thanks for writing the driver

Hi Mike,

Just wondering how you went with the driver?

Thanks,

Phil

The switch is in this release, the dimmer and the dual switch will be in the next release, along with preference options to choose the connected switch type.

OK Cool,

Thanks Mike, have been travelling a fair bit and haven't had a lot of time to keep up on things.

Hi Mike,

Just wondering if the driver has been added for the Fibaro dimmers? I did see a few Fibaro drivers available but none of them seem to work or fix the Toggle issue when changing the setting.

Thanks,

Phil

Can you tell me about this?, don't know what that issue is.

phillipbaaten · January 30, 2019, 1:45am

I have about 10 of the first generation Fibaro dimmers in my house but have been unable to get a driver to allow me to use the toggle switch function. I am double switching all my light switches at the moment.

I have tried the drivers that i believe are correct either the fibaro dimmer becomes unresponsive or doesn't allow me to set the switch type as toggle (it just has pending sync but nothing happens).

Thanks for the assistance

Did you try the built in Fibaro Dimmer?

phillipbaaten · January 30, 2019, 3:01am

Yep but still no luck

Can you enable debug logging with a live logging window open, then hit configure and then post the output?

Hi Mike,

Not much to see, output below:

This includes the following steps:

Updated config to be toggle switch
Saved preferences
Turned light on with single switch of switch
Tried to turn light off (light stayed on) with single switch of light

Note: Light does turn off with a double switch of light switch

Edit: Fixed log format

Hi Mike,

Wondering if the log helped at all with why it isn't working? I'll be honest i have very limited knowledge once if comes to debugging the Zwave stuff.

Thanks,

Phil
