Fibaro Dimmer (211) and Associations to Fibaro Wall plug not working

Also I’ve had issues sometimes even getting the associations to work on the Vera Plus. There is a way to do it via a LUA command instead of using Device Options in the GUI.

I took a quick look at your thread on the Vera forum and based on the log files Vera is having trouble carrying out the initial security exchange that occurs wh…
