Fibaro roller shutter 3

I am happy to hear that you found a solution. I would be happier when we have an official driver for the roller shutter by Fibaro as this is one of the most important devices for me and I guess for others as well. Maybe not in the US but in Europe for sure.

Does anybody know how to calibrate the shutter?
I can see how to change the parameter 150 to calibration mode, but not sure how the calibration process actually works.

Using Fibaro FGR-223 driver

Calibration process is done automatically by the Fibaro device once you change parameter 151 value to be '2'.
The problem you might have is that the device driver (not an official driver) might not update the parameter to '2' even when you try using the device page.
In order to make sure the parameter is set to '2' I suggest you use the Super Basic Z-wave Driver found here. Install it, assign it to the device and manually change the value to '2'. The device will run calibration (up-down-up cycle) and you ae done. Run the parameter report to make sure parameter is now set to '1' - "device is calibrated". Do not forget to change the driver again to the FGR-223 driver.
Let me know if it worked for you.

Awesome thanks!
I had been using that tool, as per your suggestion to someone else above.
Was just unsure about the calibration, but it all works sweet now!
Just FYI it was parameter 150 that needed changing to 2, not 151

Is this a concern?
Its filling my logs at twice an hour, every hour, at reasonably consistent intervals, since installation last week.

Those messages don’t look like a problem (look like comments for the dev to track message processing) other than that they are still occurring after a week. May want to go into the driver and turn off the debug setting to see if it stops them.

No such setting in the FGR-223 driver

Do you have access to the source code? The messages should be easy to find and disable.

Yes totally agree......
I believe Fibaro is much more reliable than Qubino ( both from European manufacturers )....All my Qubino devices have already failed within weeks of installation and had to return them for a refund.....The Fibaro devices are still running strong without a failure as yet....yes I do hope that Fibaro gets more support.....I definitely prefer their products....

I've released an updated version of the driver that fixes a few issues and allows disabling of logging, etc:

Thanks for that....will try out in due course....

Hi @chirpy!

I have this driver installed on my shutter and it has been working fine - grate job!

If I may, I'd like to suggest you to configure it to use Hubitat Package Manager (HPM) - this way, everytime you release an updated version of the driver all users are automatically informed. It is really simple to implement - by the way, HPM is awesome! - and if you need any assistance in configuring it, I'm here to help.

It is now available in HPM :slight_smile:

Great !!! Thanks !!

Guys,
today I have connected the Roller shutter 3 and installed driver Fibaro FGR-223. I have a problem because the Open and Close commands are inverted while the physical switch works fine( I confirmed S1 is connected to the open button and S2 to the close). I followed instructions reported above, I also created driver Basic Z-Wave tool and linked to the shutter, nevertheless the get parameter didn't work.

Any hints?

Hi @Jighen!

There's an option at the Preferences section of the device page that could help you.

I know it does not explain what's going on with your Fibaro, but it would solve the problem - I hope so ... :upside_down_face:

Hi thanks for the hint but i could not find it :sweat_smile:

At the moment I am using Fibaro dimmer as driver and more or less, at least for fully open/close it works fine. I also had a problem with the dashboard, if i select shade as tile i cannot control the shutter.


You're using a different driver than I'm.

I'm using the "Fibaro FGR-223", available in Hubitat Package Manager (HPM) as "Fibaro FGR-223 Roller Shutter 3". For me, it works ok with the Dashboard.

Give it a try.

and just for other users:
With the Roller Shutter 2 the paramter is 29 and has to be set to 1:

I have a dual blind (sheer and a blockout) tthat I am trying to get working. The sheer blind works fine with its fgr but the blockout blind is reversed due to the fabric being rolled over the opposite way to fit in the blind pelmet/housing.

The blockout with standard config on its fgr reports open when its closed and vice versa, the buttons technically work with S1 open making the motor go to its open postion (which is actually closed due to the aforementioned).

I need to be able to change the action of the control of the blind which I believe can be done thru the driver, but I also need to be able to change the reporting of the blind so that open is open.

Has anyone dealt with a situation like this?
