ZWave: Fibaro devices not reaching 100%

ldaniel · August 25, 2015, 5:21pm

Hi all,

in my Z-Wave network I’ve 5 Fibaro Roller Shutter (FGRM-222) and 2 Fibaro Dimmer (FGD-212). For all items of both types, it occurs to me that values of those items can not reach a value of 100%. If I set the item to 100% it updates to 99% a second later. Same happens when I use the switch connected to the Dimmer, for example.

I first assumed it is an error within the Dimmer/Roller Shutter Device. But Indigo shows all values correctly (e.g. 100%). I also had a look at the Z-Wave-Debug-Log:

I know it shows a value of 99, but doing the same with Indigo instead of OpenHAB updates the item to 100.
Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to get the correct values in OpenHAB as well?

Let me know if you need any additional information.

ADDITION:
I had a look at the Indigo Z-Wave Log:

It also shows a value of 99 but displays it as 100…

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Sorry, I missed this post.

Zwave defines 100 steps for the multilevel-switch class - being 0 to 99. I do agree that this looks a bit strange in the UI and it’s probably better to just make 99 show as 100 so we still have the same number of steps but we miss 99 instead of 100.

Does this sound ok to you (I think it’s the only option ).

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.
That sounds okay to me, as other z wave control software seem to handle this similar.

Let me know when there is any testable in the nightly builds.

Best,
Daniel

I’ve opened an issue on this -:

I’ll post when this is done…
