All my z-wave device are on my C4, I moved one UBS over to my C-7 once the 118 beta was out which was "released". It has had a UBS driver since last year when I sent one to Mike to get a driver working for it. The only difference between the c-4 and c-7 in this respect is the z-wave stack and radio. For what ever reason that driver didn't work for @mailtomatte and me. I have some other UBSs so I will test again with them and find out why Mike has been successfully and we were not.
Thanks for the explanation. Looks like I'm still using my konnected WiFi boards then. Luckily I've just had 5 turn up from ebay/China at about 2 quid each. =)
Im playing with this device handler instead of the default one, and whilst I can see it provides a bit more Zwave functionality, I cant seem to configure the settings at all? How do I change the switches from toggle to momentary, or the speed of dimming parameter?
Am I missing a hidden configuration page somewhere?
HAHA - OK. Ignore me!!! Will teach me for reading a switch and assuming it was something else!!
In ST you can have the light turn on at a different brightness overnight. Ideally I'd like to recreate that, which I could do with a rule machine rule based off hub mode I guess? But then you can't have different lights being different brightnesses at different times of day (e.g. sitting room goes dim at 2230, bedroom goes dim at 2300, and bathroom from 2330 so it keeps the extractor fan off) and it adds a delay/flash while it changes brightness...
Hmm, its certainly not as convenient having several RM rules per light as then my Apps page will get super cluttered with repetitive rules... And given the different times on the day I would then need to use offsets or something linked to the mode....
Do you find that RM rules trigger fast enough that you dont notice the change in brightness (i.e. it turns on to 100% and then RM changes it to 3%, does that cause a flash)? Even more annoying than that my bathroom fan stays off when the dimming level is <10%, so that flash would mean my fan turns on....
Ah ok, my lights don't have much of a fade when you turn them on, so I'll need to test with the bathroom I guess. Since turning on to 100% with the wall switch, and then a rule changing it to 1% shortly after would not work for me. I might merge night mode into this device handler... Though perhaps it's just me who would use it!!
Which driver are you looking at I assume it's @ericm ? I'm sure he would happily let you do a pull request. I think he works for a competitor so don't do any more development on the Fibaro stuff.
Yes I seemed to gather that was the latest device handler for the Dimmer 2. Ok, will make a start on the coding.
I just wasnt sure if I was missing something, as that was the main ST device handler, and I assumed it might have been removed during the port to Hubitat for some specific reason. @Robin - Do you know?
@buckchucko - Can you give this version a whirl, it definitely needs a bit more smoothing out, but will be much faster if a couple more people can give feedback on things that arent yet working. Thanks
I know this is an old post but I wanted to add something in case anyone else was in my position. I am using Fibaro Dimmer 2 modules as both a dimmer controller and also a mood button controller via S2. I have been having all kinds of issues getting this going. It turns out I was doing most of my testing on the one module (of seven) that didn't yet have lights connected to it. Without a load connected, S2 does not work. Every time I pressed S2 I would get a debug message about parameter 13. I can only assume that the module doesn't really wake up properly until it has done it's auto-calibration. As soon as I connected a test bulb it auto calibrated and I then started getting the button press events on S2. Figured this might save someone some time in future hence my post.
Thanks for the info. I guess I mis-interpreted that bit. I didn't plan to switch the module output on without the load. I was just planning to use it for the S2 connection for now. I didn't appreciate that it must have a load to be powered up. Good to know.
