Try to add / use Fibaro Rollershutter FGR 222

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi,
I successfull bind my Fiaro into openHAB,
I also can make basic switch up/down (Fibaro get signal and “click”, but no in the way I need …).

But actuall it’s totally unclear how to configure the physical switches (with position hold) I have connected.
Where can I configure that I use switches with “position hold”?

Where can I configure the time the shutter need to open and to close?

Actuall I remove the Fibaro from the wall and connect lamps to test the Q1 and Q2 behaviour.
Or will this not work (will the Fibaro RollerShutter try to “measure” the motor to adjust start and stop position / switches) ?

Sorry, my first actor …

My shutter.items is this, maybe there is a / the mistake?

Rollershutter Rollershutter_Livingroom_blindscontroll
   "Rolladen Terrassentür blindsctrl [%s]"
   <rollershutter>
  (GF_Livingroom)
  {channel="zwave:device:Z-Wave-USB-Stick:node2:blinds_control"}  

 Rollershutter Rollershutter_Livingroom_switch
  "Rolladen Terrassentür switch [%s]"
  <rollershutter>
  (GF_Livingroom)
  {channel="zwave:device:Z-Wave-USB-Stick:node2:switch_binary"}

When pressing the living_switch -button in the PaperUI in the logs I see ths in log but nothing happens on the Fibaro (no “click” …):

...
Item 'Rollershutter_Livingroom_switch' received command UP
Item 'Rollershutter_Livingroom_switch' received command UP
Item 'Rollershutter_Livingroom_switch' received command DOWN
Rollershutter_Livingroom_switch changed from 0 to 100
Item 'Rollershutter_Livingroom_switch' received command DOWN
...

When pressing the livingroom-blindscontrol in the PaperUI I see following in log and the Fibaro “click …(pause 1s:) click”.
Should be longer activ, till is press “X” to stop or max. time (~20s?) reached:

...Item 'Rollershutter_Livingroom_blindscontroll' received command UP
Rollershutter_Livingroom_blindscontroll changed from 100 to 0
...

Attached the Config screen for the Fibaro, must there anything changed to use switches with hold position etc.?

Thanks for help!

Hello Martin

The FGR are a little bit tricky

There is a parameter for the initial calibrate, take a look at the manual (the parameter may change from Firmware version to version). Then you need to set this parameter either in HABmin or Paper-UI, so the FGR measures the time it needs.

Also this is a parameter which need to be set.

I drove best, when I defined the items in my items file, but bound them to the channel in paper-UI (Sometimes you need to invert Up/Down).

Hi,
I find "press “S1 or s2 for 3 seconds, than the device will start a calibrate”
For this (I think) I have to connect the Fibaro again to the rollershutter … hmmm … testing here (config change, check file view, , …) near to PC is easier …

You wrote, that I have to set the parameter for the “scwitch with hold position” , but where?
In the shutter.items or in the config part from Fibaro?

Thank to you (and others?) …

Actually setting up the FGR222 is not complicated.

First thing to do is setting the endpoints of your rollershutter motor for UP and DOWN.
Then calibrate the FGR222 to match the endpoints (of course you need to have it connected to the rollershutter motor)
Link the blinds_control channel to an item (you already did that).
Set the configuration to “Blind position using Zwave commands” and “Roller Blind Mode with positioning” (assuming you have a standard rollershutter without lamellas).
That’s it: one click starts the motor, a second click stops the motor. If you don’t provide the second click the rollershutters move to one of the end positions.
If you need “Press on hold” you need to configure “Scene activation”.
On press and hold (or double/triple click) the scene_number channel (link it to a number item) will provide something like:

SCENE ID value sent at specified configuration:

Momentary switches (parameter 14 = 0, parameter 10 = 0,1,2)
SCENE ID: S1 input SCENE ID: S2 input
12 : hold
13 : release
14 : 2 x click
16 : 1 x click 22 : hold
23 : release
24 : 2 x click
25 : 3 x click
26 : 1 x click
Toggle switches (parameter 14 = 1, parameter 10 = 0,1,2)
SCENE ID: S1 input SCENE ID: S2 input
10 : OFF to ON
11 : ON to OFF
14 : 2 x click 20 : OFF to ON
21 : ON to OFF
24 : 2 x click
25 : 3 x click
Momentary switch (parameter 14 = 2, parameter 10 = 0,1,2)
SCENE ID: S1 input
12 : hold
13 : release
14 : 2 x click
16 : 1 x click
Switch for gate (parameter 10 = 3,4)
SCENE ID: S1 input
12 : hold
13 : release
14 : 2 x click
16 : 1 x click

Catch that in a rule to achieve whatever you want to do, for example:

when
    Item YourSceneNumberItem received update 16
then
    //do stuff
5

Seems to work now, thanks all!
Found also some hints here:

Parameter # 29 must set to “Calibrate” to start the initial calibration, the shutter open and close automatically (and Fibaro was blinking …).
And #10 was important: “Roller Blind Mode with positioning”

The scenes I did not test, because this maybe comes later … at first I will add all my actors that they work in a simple way, Later: fine tuning and optimizing
