Fibaro FGD211 as normal relay

Hi,

I just purchased the Vera Lite (I think this is UI7) and want to use my Fibaro Dimmer as a normal relay (on/off). The lights connect cannot dim.

Step1:
Added the device.

Step 2:
Try to set the following parameters
10 = 0 (No dimming)
14 = 1 (Normal Switch)

But it doesn’t seem like the vera is updating the module. How can I get vera to poll the device and display the settings for the above?
On the dashboard it still shows up as a dimming light. Can I change the advance settings to fix this and make vera think its a normal on/off light? Aka not display the slider…

Thank you.

Ok I got it solved. ;D

For vera to monitor the parameter:
Set data size to “Monitor only”
NOTE: On UI7 under the “Advanced” tab for the device click on “Configure node right now” to send the paramters to the zwave node. It sometimes help to refreshe the browser too.

For a dimmer to show up as a binary switch in vera (And also mobile apps):

  1. Open the advanced tab of the dimmer device.
  2. Change the settings as below:

OLD:
device_type → urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:DimmableLight:1
device_file → D_DimmableLight1.xml
device_json → D_DimmableLight1.json

NEW:
device_type → urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:BinaryLight:1
device_file → D_BinaryLight1.xml
device_json → D_BinaryLight1.json

Now “Reload Engine” and refresh browser once completed.
