Hi,
I have an openHAB 2 system up an running since several years but now added my first Fibaro Dimmer 2.
In the docs I can only see item types of Dimmer and no Switch for ON/OFF commands
https://www.openhab.org/addons/bindings/zwave/thing.html?manufacturer=fibaro&file=fgd212_3_5.html
Do you have some example that you can share for item configurations for Fibaro Dimmer 2 controlling ON/OFF and Dimming?
The dimmer should work with ON/OFF, percent (0-100), or increase or decrease

So if I have added in items conf file:
Dimmer HemmabioDimmer "Hemmabio Dimmer" (gCellar) {channel="zwave:device:aa3c9940:node25:switch_dimmer1"}
How can I add an ON/OFF switch in sitemaps?

Simple as that:
Switch item=HemmabioDimmer

Thanks @vzorglub , very much appreciated
Then I get a slider with the dimmer level - which is good for other cases
Since the dimmer remember the last dimmer level and if I press the physical button (s1) I get the light ON/OFF with the previous dimmer level.
How can I get a simple ON/OFF button (and rule command) to turn on the lights with the previous dimmer level?

With a proxy item and a rule

Hmmm need to check out “proxy item”… if something like [SOLVED] ON/OFF value to Dimmer type?
For some reason I now got a ON/OFF button in UI using
Switch item=HemmabioDimmer
Thanks, very nice. Didn’t know about Proxy items and seems very useful

Could you mark the tread as solved by ticking the solution post. Thanks
Correct, therefore I replied to your post.
I have already clicked your post as solution
is that not what you wanted?
@Andrew_Rowe Absolutely but for some reason when tested yesterday I got a slider instead of a switch. Today when testing again it worked as I wanted.
Then I find Proxy Items to be useful in other scenarios.
Thanks for the help @Andrew_Rowe and @vzorglub
