Fibaro roller shutter 3

Hi there,
Could not find a proper driver for Fibaro Roller Shutter 3 (FGR-223).
Tried using the Generic Dimmer driver but could not control up and down levels.
I did find a driver writen for SmartThings users here: smartthings/fibaro-fgr-223.groovy at master · philh30/smartthings · GitHub
As i am not familiar with coding i was hoping one of you specialists could do the required adjustments.
Thanks,

Hi there Fibaro FGR-223 users on Hubitat.
As i was looking for someone to update the driver but got no answer i deicided to give it a try myself.
Followed orders I found on one of the forums and updated the Device Handler for smarthings to fit Hubitat.
I have disabled part of the code I could not figure out and ran it on my Hubitat hub.
It is working:)
I can now open and close the shutter and even change the shutter level.
Maybe someone will find this usefull.
The code is here

Hi there,
The roller shutter 3 is actually the reason that I bought the Hubitat. Becaose the light I could control thru other hubs too.
So please tell me exactly, like to a person who is a beginer , where should I copy/paste your code?
Ps! I have not yet instaled the fibaro roller shutter 3 swiches , but will soon.
Thank you so much!

Hi,
I am no expert buy I found out that with some common sense you can work your way with Hubiat.
First connect the Fibaro Roller Shutter to electricity according to instractions by Fibaro (an electrician might be required)
In order to use a customized code writen not by Hubitat itself you'll need to follow Hubitat documentation for installing a "custom driver". you will find the instructions here
The custom driver code is the code refernced in my original post.
Once installed, you will have to follow Fibaro and Hubitat instarctions on how to connect your Fibaro shutter to Hubitat. Instructions here. There are no specific instructions for Roller Shutter but you can follow the same instructions as the Fibaro switch and it should work.
Once you have the device installed, all you have to do is to define it in Hubitat under Devices menu.
Make ure you choose a device type Fibaro FGR-223 (down in the User types).
All other parameters - set according to your needs.
That's it.
Hope it helps. Let me know if yoy need more help and I'll help.

Thank you so much for the detailed information!
For sure I'll need more help to execute it:)

Hi @amithalp

Thanks for the detailed instruction :slight_smile:

I got to the part where the new driver code worked and saved, but im struggling with the Fibaro FGR-223 to be discovered by the Z-wave stick.... Tried countless time to pres on the B button then 3 quick presses on the S1 key but its not picking it up. Any other way to get it to work ?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi there,
After some work and help from @amithalp , I got mine working.
What I suggest, is that you first try to do a Z-Wave Exclusion, and then try again. It worked for me. I have two roller shutter, one worked directly, the second didn't until I did the exclusion. Witch it's wierd since they where new..

Hi there,
My module was dicovered just fine.
Sorry, but I can not help you with that

Hello, finally Fibaro Roller Shutter 3 works on hubitat or not?

Thanks

Yes it does. Not with an official driver yet but with a user driver. Follow the instructions above and you should be able to make it work. Good luck

Hi @amithalp and @Huby, I'm going to buy couple of Fibaro Roller Shutters 3. So as I understand with the driver you mentioned everything works ok, you're also able to set your rollers to specific % (like 20%, 30% etc)?

Yes, for me it works very well. Both via Hubitat's rule machine, or opening/ closing manually via dashboard, and even with Alexa.
And it was @amithalp who introduced me to this driver.
Fallow the instructions and it will be fine. And don't forget to pres configuration after the installation.
Good luck!

Would you mind sharing some links to the posts that assist with driver conversion? I have a few projects in mind.

Look what @amithalp wrote to me in this conversation. There are the links and all the info that helped me. It's in the beginning of this thread.

I think i used this page
I lately ran into this youtube video with a nice explanation on writing groovy code for hubitat.
Hope it helps.
Good luck

Hi @amithalp, newbie here, this is actually my first post.

I started with HE this week, and roller shutter are a priority for me (live in Spain). I bought the FGR-223 v5.1 and installed your driver, but can't get it to work.

I have several issues:

  • For starters, I cannot save any preferences. For example, I use toggle switches and when I set up #20 to 1 (1-toggle switches), the value does not save and the log shows:

error groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: user_driver_philh30_Fibaro_FGR_223_Roller_Shutter_3_360.runIn() is applicable for argument types: (java.math.BigDecimal, java.lang.String) values: [1.0, setSynced]

  • in the device current states, the syncStatus is syncing, all the time, shouldn't be 'synced'?

  • In the 'Shade' tile, I have several issues as well: if the bar is at 0% (closed), when I click on it, it fully opens (OK). If the bar is at 99% (open), when I click on it, it fully closes (OK). However when is partially open, the button does not work, nothing happens. The bar does not work either. I can set up the position with the 'Level Vertical' tile, and the value updates fine in the 'Shade' bar, but it does nothing when I use it from the 'Shade' tile.

Any chance you could have a look at it?

Hi imbeta.
The driver is not mine I just converted it from smartthings to Hubitat.
I am no expert (unfortunatly) but would do my best to try and help. I just moved to a new house, thus, I have no FGR-223 installed. I plan on reinstalling some FGR-223 myself in the coming week and will have to run through the process again and will keep you updated.
Sorry for not being able to help (for now).
Best regards,
Amit

Thanks Amit!
I bought a qubino shutter, and does not work either :slightly_frowning_face:

Hi there, don't lose hope :slight_smile:
I was able to use the Fibaro in my previous home and I'm sure it will work again. This weekend I am planning to install in my new house and will keep you updated.
By the way, have you tried using the Dimmer tile instead of the shade tile? If I remember correctly this is what I did last time. This should allow draging the shade to a certain position.
Give it a try.
Amit

Surprise, I looked at one of my old dashopards and was able to see the how it was configured.
Have a look
