Fibaro 2 250W dimmer

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

Hi,
I have just got 2 of the new Fibaro 2 dimmers and am trying to install, my first z wave devices, although I have my Vera edge setup with my alarm panel, Hue bulbs and Sonos already.

I have wired it in according to the manual, and Vesternet advice, and the device comes on and I can add it to the Vera (I used the generic device option). Its on one of the circuits of a triple gang switch, so fitting it in was a challenge. It created 3 devices in Vera and shows the energy useage. I have changed variable 20 to 1 for toggle switch (think its a different variable to the 500W dimmers)

However when I turn it on via switch or vera it comes on and then turns itself off approx 6 seconds later. Is this an issue with the setup, the wiring or the unit?

Thanks
Simon

Solved it. Whilst the new unit works better with led bulbs is been reduced to 250w and I had it on a circuit with 290w so it’s powering off per it’s blown bulb logic after 5 seconds. It is reporting the 290w so shame it can’t report that that is over the limit. But at least it dies gracefully and dims out.

Hi smonclark,

Can you please exactly specify where you have changed that parameter for the toggle switch, I’m struggling to find it?

Maybe someone can give me an advise where exactly to change these parameters?

Is it “Advanced / Parameters” or “Advanced Variables” or in Device options? And which exactly line should be changed?

Thanks in advance guys.
