Fibaro FGR-223 Roller Shutter 3

I included one FGR.223 yesterday to test. The device was added with no rollershutter channel, just an switch_dimmer channel. Is this correct? How can you then stop an up or down movement?

Sorry, if I am asking a stupid question, but I am a beginner

HI. my friend with home center 2 update my 4 rollershutter 3 to firmware 5.1.
the problem with momentary switch it’s ok now, no problem, but with the absolute position there are some problem. if i press the phisical switch in the wall openhab don’t update the status, no way.
i ve try to change so many option but nothing…
it 's possible to see the traffic between the rolleshutter and the openhab? i think that it’s a different way to send the command from the fibaro.
seems so strange that rollershutter 2 it’s perfect no problem and the new have this issues…

thanks

@horstermann Did Fibaro answer your mail? I send an email weeks ago but got no response. I bought 3 devices and unfortunatelly got v5.0…

Hi Martin,

Fibaro Germany, it’s company intuitech, ask me to buy update service in there online shop. I told them that my knowledge is that updates are free, they told me that I have to contact fibaro Poland for this.
So, I bought the update service and send the devices to intuitech. After a few days they ask me for additional 5.99 for sending the devices back to me.
I accepted and the devices are back in my office. But to late to test, I already started my summer holidays.

Enno

i ve made other tests and if i use the dimmer instead of blind control in channel section the status when i press the phisical switch it’s update.
the problem with the incorrect value when i set the percentage remain, if i set 50 and the blind is at 0 after 3 second update the actual position (e.g 15) the blind arrive at 50 but status remain at 15.
the strange thing is that if i press stop the status of position is update

Thank you @horstermann for the advice. Make sure to use the “Preisvorschlag” option to save some money (but I really think Fibaro should cover their flaw anyway). I made an overall price so no further cost were claimed and the handling went pretty smooth.
Day 1: proposed a price, got positive response the same day
Day 2: sent the package to them
Day 3: package arrived
Day 5: updated devices shipped back
Day 6: arrived at my home
(only considering working days)
Tested the devices, V5.1 running. So now I need to wait for 2.5M2 to get the blinds_control channels as I am hesitating to update to snapshot versions.
As far as I understand (and saw in my configuration) the 2.5M1 database only supports switch_dimmer.
@davideesse: you may want to see this post proposing to use blinds_control1 channel.

thank you for the advice.
i ve the 2.5.0 snapshot.jar binding zwawe and i don’t have blind control 1… i ve only blind control.
i ve to update openhab or just the binding? where i can find it?

The device database is part of the z wave binding. So no need to update OpenHAB.
Which exact snapshot build do you have? Typically it has a 4 digit number or you may find a time stamp.
With the Karaf command bundle:list you should be able to identify it.
However I can’t tell how the channels are called in your version as I am running the “old” milestone release and have switch_dimmer, switch_dimmer1 and switch_dimmer2.
Which channels are offered to you in the thing configuration in PaperUI or HABmin?

I have problems to get FGR-223 Roller Shutter 3 running

Thing details in BasicUI:

Z-Wave Node 019 (010F:0303:1000:5.1)

Unknown Device

This device has not been fully discovered by the binding. There are a few possible reasons for this -:

  • The device is not in the database. If the device attributes show that this device has a valid manufacturer ID, device ID and type, then this is likely the case (eg. you see a label like " Z-Wave node 1 (0082:6015:020D::2.0) "). Even if the device appears to be in the database, some manufacturers use multiple sets of references for different regions or versions, and your device references may not be in the database. In either case, the database must be updated and you should raise an issue to get this addressed.
  • The device initialisation is not complete. Once the device is included into the network, the binding must interrogate it to find out what type of device it is. One part of this process is to get the manufacturer information required to identify the device, and until this is done, the device will remain unknown. For mains powered devices, this will occur quickly, however for battery devices the device must be woken up a number of times to allow the discovery phase to complete. This must be performed with the device close to the controller.

I run openHAB 2.4.0-1 (Release Build) on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (latest stable version)
I have upgraded all installed software packages and applied the latest improvements

Please help to fix the issue

There are some good news about your issue.
First of all, your device is in the current database, second you have the better firmware version 5.1.
The bad news is, the device wasn’t available in 2.4 releases, so a later version is needed.
You need to at least update the Z-Wave binding by copying the .jar-file in the openhab2-addons directory. The latest snapshot can be found here.
Don’t forget to confirm you’re running the correct binding version, e.g. by using bundle:list in karaf console.

Thank you Martin for your quick reply. I tried your proposed solution but could the zwave-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT installed only but not active.

For the steps to install the snapshot I followed the instructions on OpenHab FAQ

  • uninstalled zwave 2.4.0
  • reboot
  • copied org.openhab.binding.zwave-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar to the openhab2-addons folder

It’s the first time that I installed a snapshot … I tried several times but possibly did something wrong. Any idea how to step forward or analyze?

I found the solution in the forum Latest Zwave binding missing module?

Now it works!

hi, this is my version:

276 │ Active │ 80 │ 2.5.0.201901242108 │ ZWave Binding

this is the list of channels on paperui

Is anyone running the new firmware (>=5.1) and can confirm that the status of the shutter is updated correctly after movement?

I am running 6 Roller Shutter 3 with Firmware 5.1

I am also using the 2.5-SNAPSHOT Binding, not the Milestone and not 2.4

I can confirm, that the operation is as desired. For the status updates, I force a REFRESH after each operation.

I was under the impression the mission update is fixed and there is no need of a REFRESH.
Do you get the updated state if you don’t refresh?

Not always, and not consistently for the 6 RS3, although they are all from one delivery and the same firmware version.

But, I also have two RS2 and I see the same behavior as I see for the RS3, i.e. consistent status (% open/closed) only when I refresh

Hm - strange. Now I don’t know if it’s working or not - Openhab is set correctly in the groups as lifeline/status update?
My RS2 refresh consistently after each movement without any need for manual refresh.
Can anyone else comment if they see updates or not?

Mine refresh as well, but sometimes with values, that are not correct. I do not know, if this is a problem of the device, of the openHAB Z-Wave binding or the Classic UI, iPhone App, because sometimes the values update but the icons not and vise-versa

In my rules I force a refresh and that seems to ensure that all get updated. I do this with a 1 minute delay after the action

Besides that the devices work well

if i use phisical switch in the wall no problem for the update.(in the dimmer channel)
if i use the dimmer channel to set position (e.g. 20%) there is the problem. after 1 second of running update position , not the real position but the position after 1 second. tomorrow i can make a video if you want.
no problem if i use with OPEN CLOSE STOP command in rolleshutter channel but i can’t use it on dimmer channel.
