I tried to add this Fibaro Relais Switch to the z-wave database - but it seems already to be in as MegaChips, FIBEFGS-213 and endpoints are already defined. What can I do so that this device is recognised?
If you can try and resolve the errors, then we can get this updated. I will do an update tomorrow after which it will be next weekend as I’m away next week.
@chris This looks pretty tough based on my limited experience. To be honest I have no idea where to start unfortunately. Is there an option to use my XML file and override it? What happens with the different manufacturer IDs? I will contribute as much as possible if someone can at least guide me a little bit.
Could not fix those two errors
This device looks kind of strange compared to the original Fibaro:
it only has one endpoint and I think because of that it can not have the second manual switch attached to control scenes like the original Fibaro.
That means, I’m not sure if the parameters I have copied from the original Fibaro are correct
Can you find this reference number on fibaro site? I can’t find it.
After I posted I was leaving HC2 they took me of their testers list so possibly it is brand new item but how from amazon. And how is it brand new and supports
COMMAND_CLASS_CRC_16_ENCAP
I tested the first samples of FGS-213 and 223 and have loads of them working in OpenHab and the xml looks nothing like this.
I think we should smell a rat from an eastern shore in all of this.
Sorry but is it a convincing counterfeit because it has to be a fake.
I suppose the data could have been corrupted when exchanged? Is that possible?
There is no such thing - each manufacturer can choose their own product IDs. Also, as I said, it is not uncommon for devices to be produced as OEM devices. The device itself does not use the Fibraro IDs.
I don’t understand what you mean - the device is not using the Fibaro ID.
It is using the product id and type fibaro use for their own version. If they were making for a third party surely they would give it a different product id and version if it had different characteristics as it clearly does.
So - the IDs are not owned by Fibaro. Any manufacturer can use these IDs as they please. The fact that it’s the same as Fibaro just supports that fact that it is the same device badged as a different manufacturer. This is rally not uncommon.
Maybe - in any case that’s not really my concern. It’s clearly using different manufacturer IDs, and I think what’s important is to make it work. I don’t really think we need to worry too much about how OEM versions etc are badged - again, we see this with Aeon devices as well so it’s not too uncommon.
The Aeon devices are also sold under different manufacturers.
I am not trying to police this. I have no proof that this is a fake version and neither do you. I’m not going to stop the binding from working with specific devices. If you think it’s fake, then I suggest that you report this to the appropriate authorities. I believe (although not sure) that Amazon have such a system, but if not I’m sure there are more appropriate ways of reporting this than suggesting I don’t support it.
