Would like to try/add the acm-multidimmer to my setup. Of course I prefer Fibaro zwave dimmer, but this would do in this situation. Anyway, I would like to know if the acm100 is supported in the rfxcom plugin and how this can be controlled? Can it be controlled like a Fibaro module with a slider? Anyone a screenshot maybe?
How can this receiver be added to rfxcom? Set to auto detect/create and then hit the little button on the receiver? Or do I really need a remote first?
Looking at the RFXtrx User Guide I believe that the plugin should be able to communicate with the ACM-100 multidimmer. I found an English version of the user manual online. Based on what I read there and the information I have about the RFXtrx firmware, I don’t think it can be controlled with a slider. It’s going to look like a regular light switch. It should be able to be controlled as described in item 19 of the ACM-100 user manual. I do not think you need a remote. You should be able to create an AC device (RFXtrx in the Vera web UI → New Device → AC → Switch light) and select any values for the ID and unit code.
Thanks for the info. Not sure if I want this. So if I want to change level of brightness I have to push multiple times. Not very user friendly, but more complex to turn it on at 19.00 at specific level. I think I will return it to the shop.
Hi, I have a KAKU ACD200 plugdimmer connected to my RFXcom via AC protocol as dimmable light. Works perfect via a slider similar to Fibaro dimmer. So I think this will alo work with the ACM100 dimmer
@Mai_Pensato: If that ACD200 is set to say 50% and you turn it off and on again, does it go on on the last set level, 50% in this case? Or does it always turn on at 100% and then has to be changed?
And please don’t forget my other question, about turning it on directly at 25%. Thanks
Yes, it will work. The current dimmers allow setting to a percentage. I’ve had the acm-100 in the past, all devices work the same.
You can add the device manually. I believe you can choose a nice code yourself for communicating with the device.
