New info: Today I purchased a Fibaro Key Fob remote control. Previously I had only the Popp brand of remote and I wanted to rule out if the problem is in the remote or elsewhere.
I included the Key fob in my z-wave network and set some associations. And my problems are just the same:
If I associate the Fibaro Key fob (or the Popp wall controller) with any one of my many Fibaro Dimmer2, I get no response from the Dimmer2 when trying to turn on or off with the remote. If I use Openhab it works just fine. I can control other Z-wave actuators from both my Popp controllers and from my new Fibaro Key Fob.
I’m surprised that the Fibaro Key Fob doesn’t play nicely with the Fibaro dimmer2:s, since they are the same brand. That makes me even more sure that the problem lies in how the associations I set are sent from Openhab to the remotes. Unfortunately I have no idea what the problem can be, since I’m still a newbie at the deeper secrets of Zwave and openhab.
As I wrote in a separate post I also have a problem with a Fibaro FGS-222 Double Switch, associating with the two different endpoints doesn’t work either, only endpoint 1 is responding, but it responds even when sending commands to endpoint 2.
I did a series of tests today, with the new Fibaro Key fob remote, and saved the logs for each test.
The tests (and results) were:
Sending ON from Fibaro keyfob to Fibaro FGD-212 dimmer2, endpoint 1:
Result: Light does not turn on, nothing at all in log.
Sending on from Fibaro keyfob to Fibaro FGD-212 dimmer2, endpoint 2:
Result: Light does not turn on, nothing at all in log.
Sending ON from openhab app to Fibaro FGD-212 dimmer2, endpoint 1 in openhab code (...node8:switch_binary1):
Result: turns on, information in log.
Sending ON from openhab app to Fibaro FGD-212 dimmer2, endpoint 2 in openhab code (...node8:switch_binary2):
Result: Light turns does not turn on, information in log.
Sending ON from Fibaro keyfob to Fibaro FGS-222 double relay switch, Node 27, endpoint 1 (association set in Habmin):
Result: Relay 1 is turning on, relay 2 remains off, information in log.
Sending ON from Fibaro keyfob to Fibaro FGS-222 double relay switch, Node 27, endpoint 2 (association set in Habmin):
Result: Relay 1 is turning on, relay 2 remains off, information in log.
Trying a different model of actuator, just to see if that works with the new remote:
Sending ON from Fibaro keyfob to Telldus on/off-switch, configured with association group in habmin; Node 2,(no endpoints presented for that kind of device) :
Result: Telldus switch turns on, information in log.
All the logs were too big to fit in this reply, so they are in this file:
zwave search for pattern sending to endpoints.txt (95.0 KB)
My Fibaro Keyfob was set up like this, using Habmin:
Association groups:
1: Controller (node 1)
2: Node 8:endpoint 1 (Fibaro Dimmer2)
4: Node 8:endpoint 2 (Fibaro Dimmer2)
6: Node 27:endpoint 1 (Fibaro Double Switch)
8: Node 27:endpoint 2 (Fibaro Double Switch)
10: Node 2:no endpoint visible in habmin (Telldus Wall Plug Switch)
Log from when clicking Save in Habmin after selecting nodes for association groups and from when initiating a NIF from the key fob is in this file:

The only thing I’ve found so far while trying to learn reading zwave logs is that when sending ON to the fibaro double switch from the keyfob is that even though i’ve configured the association in Habmin to endpoint 1, this is what i find in the log:
2019-02-15 21:01:27.807 [DEBUG] [ng.zwave.internal.protocol.ZWaveNode] - NODE 27: Incoming command class COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY, endpoint 0
Even when sending to endpoint 2 the result in the log is the same:
2019-02-15 21:03:05.235 [DEBUG] [ng.zwave.internal.protocol.ZWaveNode] - NODE 27: Incoming command class COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY, endpoint 0
That must be the reason for why both the buttons on the remote turns Relay 1 on, and none of the buttons do anything to Relay 2? But why?
After associating the Dimmer2 to my Keyfob and pressing buttons trying to control the dimmer2 there is nothing in the logs at all, no response. I can see a green LED lighting up on the Keyfob every time I press a button, and according to the manual that means: “Receiving command confirmed by the controller and associated devices” so that must mean the data must reach the Dimmer2 and be confirmed, but it is not triggering the dimmer to turn on.
If the communication from the Keyfob would have been wrong in any way the LED would have been red instead.
In my previous installation of Openhab (I used the Snapshot daily repository) I could control my Fibaro Dimmer2:s with my remotes. But i’m almost 100% sure that when i configured the associations in Habmin, the nodes of Fibaro Dimmers was presented as just “Node XX”, without endpoints. And now, after a fresh install, i have “Node XX:endpoint 1” and “Node XX:endpoint 2” on all my Fibaro dimmers. Could that be a clue to my problem? And can anyone tell me why there is two endpoints to a Fibaro Dimmer? I understand why there are 2 endpoints to a Double Switch, there are 2 relays in there, but a Fibaro Switch only has 1 dimmer inside?
Is there anyone out there who has a Openhab 2.4 installation, with Zwave binding 2.4, or 2.5 snapshot, and any z-wave remote and Fibaro FGD-212 Dimmer2, or Fibaro FGS-222 Double Switch and could tell me if their setup works or not?
And thank you very much for putting in the effort for me, You have no idea how much I appreciate that,
