Every now and then i try to add something to the openhab solution in our house. My wife is very satisfied, so am i :slight_smile: Now i have this Fibaro FGD212 dimmer. This dimmer has two switches S1 and S2. The S1 is controlling the light and works as expected. I would like S2 to do something diff…

According to the database, these endpoints support the SWITCH_BINARY command class, so it should be possible to use this. In fact, the database doesn’t show the SCENE classes at all. There are often many different versions of these devices though, and the database is for an early version, so it may…

Do you both talk about the same device ? The thread title is bad, the dimmer is not FGS but FGD.

@DubZ that is what i thought. And i was wrong, it resulted in double messages exactly what @chris said. That is why you see double messages in the S2 log. I removed the group Association with the controller, and now the double messages are gone. The node is a Fibaro FGD212 v2 dimmer with firmware 3…

[image] mstormi: The thread title is bad, the dimmer is not FGS but FGD. I was looking at the FGS212 - as per the title of the thread (although I see it’s changed now).

[image] mstormi: can only use S2 on FGDs to be scene switches, none of switch_binary type, so your channel definition would need to read { If that is true, what is the purpose of the channel switch_dimmer2

Looking at the XML, I suspect that this requires MC associations. It might be worth trying the development version -: [image] OH2 Z-Wave refactoring and testing... and SECURITY Bindings The latest version of the development binding dated 8th Sep 2018 is here . …

[image] lsiepel: If that is true, what is the purpose of the channel switch_dimmer2 Don’t know, but that would refer to a 2nd output(-only) channel (that the FGD does not have). Unlike S1 to directly affect the load, too, S2 is about input only.

I don’t think it’s correct that these devices only send scene commands on the second switch - they should work as dimmers as well.

Well there’s parameter 41 to enable scene commands on S2 input. Didn’t check what happens if you turn it off (I also think that behavior changed somewhat over FGD versions). Maybe S2 will then act just like S1, but that does not make much sense since if you want that, you can physically connect mult…

[image] mstormi: Maybe S2 will then act just like S1, but that does not make much sense Of course it makes sense - it can be used as a controller - either to just send commands to the controller for use in rules etc, or to directly control other devices. [image] mstormi: if you want that…

Can't get the zwave binding to update the S2 switch from a Fibaro FGD-212

Looking at the XML, I suspect that this requires MC associations. It might be worth trying the development version -:

This has improved handling of the MC associations and would be worth trying as I think this probably needs enabling.
