(EDGE Driver-Mc): Z-Wave Edge Drivers and others with FIBARO devices:

This driver has a problem with this device, which was reported a year ago.
They made a driver modification and asked if that solved it, I told them that it didn’t solve it and that’s how it stayed.

[Edge drivers] Issue with stock Z-Wave Switch driver (Fibaro single switch) Support

Ho @nayelyz This is the log with my driver, but is the same with stock driver. Switch Binary report received with src_channel=1 for S1 on-off commands from real device. S2 is only used for send scenes and must be src_channel=2. [sswitch2_diagrams] The handler for Central scene notification won’t work either since scenes send with src_channel 1 and 2, for S1 and S2. It wouldn’t work with button.defaults either since the profile only has a button capability in the main component. It would need 2 button capabilities in two additional components and modify the code instead of the defaults. This stock driver handler does not work local function central_scene_notification_handler(self, device, cmd) if cmd.src_channel == nil or cmd.src_channel == 0 then ButtonDefaults.zwave_handl…

@Mariano_Colmenarejo

Actually I worked out how to link to Mariano’s Edge Drivers and downloaded the Fibaro Switch one, and it has solved my problem! So thanks very much Mariano!

That said, I am trying to customise as little as possible. Anyone know why they can’t just fix these bugs in the SmartThings Stock ZWAVE Switch driver?

thanks
David.

Out of interest has anyone used a Fibaro Smart Module (FGS224) to power lighting (non dimmable)?

I’ve seen someone saying these are ‘dry contacts’ best not used for light switching, though I have no idea whether that means it will not work, or is just ‘not advisable’ but will work. Not sure, then, why it would not be advised. I have some spare Smart Modules which I’ll set up once the electrician swings by. I’d prefer to avoid buying additional Fibaro Double (FGS223)/Single 2 switches, when I already have a few spare Smart Modules.

Thanks if you have experience with these…

David.

Devices with relays, such as FGS-223 or FGS-224, are designed for nominal values of resistive loads, incandescent bulbs.

If used with LED bulbs, which have a switching power supply to convert AC to DC to power the LEDs, then the peak start current can reduce the life of the relay contacts, if leds are rated at 100w or more, that was my experience. Relays lasted a year and I had to put a current-limiting resistor with the LED panels and they have already been working for 3 years with the new relays that I put in double swicth fgs-223.

That is why devices that use an electronic switch or an electronic current regulator instead of a relay are better for this type of LED bulbs.

In the Fibaro manual it explains well the maximum resistive current they support.

davidjc · July 15, 2024, 10:45pm

Thanks Mariano. So what Fibaro module would you use with LED bulbs (non-dimmable)?

Mariano_Colmenarejo · July 16, 2024, 11:04am

If the LEDs consume less than 200w, a current limiting device like this one can be used, placed in series with the LED circuit.
Absorbs the peak starting current and prevents the relay contacts from burning

Mariano, hello!
Could you add support for Aeotec Home Energy Meter Gen2 (1 phase) to this driver (Z-Wave Electric Meter Mc)?
Mfg Code - 0086-0002-001C
Model - 0002-001C

Mariano_Colmenarejo · July 16, 2024, 6:48pm

Hi,

This device is already added to the driver.

- id: "AeonHomeEnergyMeter/2-EU"
    deviceLabel: Aeon Energy Monitor
    manufacturerId: 0x0086
    productType: 0x0002
    productId: 0x001C
    deviceProfileName: base-electric-meter

fck-r · July 17, 2024, 3:15am

Previously I used the Aeotec Edge driver. When I installed and applied your driver for my HEM g2, nothing changed. The device still only transmits reports with Power (W) and Energy (KWh). Volts (V) and Current (A) are not displayed. Can you tell me what could be the reason?

Mariano_Colmenarejo · July 17, 2024, 7:53am

Hi,

It was tested and another user sent me CLI logs when I added it and this device does not emit voltage and current.

fck-r · July 17, 2024, 9:27am

Do I understand correctly that the problem is in the firmware of the device itself? And that, regardless of the settings of parameter 101, there is no current and voltage data in the reports that it sends to the hub?

Mariano_Colmenarejo · July 17, 2024, 10:29am

This model that we tested and according to this documentation does not send values of V and A

0086-0002-0001, I think it supports it, but I have not tried it nor have I found documentation

Hi, thank you for your drivers.
Could you please look into the Window treatment driver MC as it is showing the gate’s status as ‘open’ when they are actually closed and vica versa. I use the driver with Fibaro ibt4zwave. Another user had a similar issue with the correct status report.

It does not show percentage of closed/open state; 0% or 100% with no intermediate values if stoped while operating.

The gates can be open and closed.
Thank you.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · July 26, 2024, 4:06pm

Sorry, I didn’t find a solution to that problem.

You can ask to @Giorgia if she found a solution

Pamaliska · July 30, 2024, 4:47pm

So I ended up creating a virtual device, activating the gates and correcting status display with routines.

dotan_shai · August 6, 2024, 2:56am

Hi @Mariano_Colmenarejo ,
A good friend is going to buy FGR-224 , because it have the ability for manual time calibration in addition to auto calibration. Can you please add to your driver ?

Mariano_Colmenarejo · August 6, 2024, 11:10am

Hi @dotan_shai

I’ve spent over an hour looking at the manuals for the FGR-223 and FGR-224, they are quite different in terms of operation and the parameters have different values and sizes.

All this requires writing a specific subdriver for this device with a new profile with preferences and the code to manage them.

Sorry, but I don’t have time to spend so much time developing this and debugging it without having a device

dotan_shai · August 9, 2024, 2:30pm

Hi @Mariano_Colmenarejo,
I’m just informing anyone that you made a test driver for FGR-224 under Zwave Window Treatment - Test driver . Also, @dubi_dekel is going to buy this device. He will test the device and send some CLI logs if needed for debug.
As always, thank you so much for your work and time…

Mariano_Colmenarejo · September 3, 2024, 8:42am

Hi,

Is there any news on whether it works? to merge the Mc driver

dotan_shai · September 3, 2024, 9:21am

Not yet… My friend @dubi_dekel still didn’t receive his ordered FGR-224 module.
I’ll let you know when he’ll get it. I will also send you a CLI log in case you’ll find something that you want to change…
