Fibaro FGS-222 Dual Relay (ZWN-RSM2 device type) - WORKS!

Hi Gaztea!

Where did you find that Dual Relay Adapter app ? In the Smartapp Marketplace?

Thanks,
CJ

I found none to work with Paul’s device handler.

I’m using the 1x3kw Fibaro relay on a light switch, it works perfectly, the ONLY thing, when I use the physical switch the app icon DOESN’T register in the smartthings app, which annoying, any ideas what it could be?
If I turn the light on/off within the app, the icon registers fine.

Careful using the Fibaro relays for lighting, chaps - or any relays for that matter. They have moving parts and as such are prone to welding closed when exposed to big inrush currents like the ones that modern LEDs create. Make sure you leave plenty of headroom in the rating to accommodate.

Hi @Mark200SX

it looks like you are missing the 2 virtual on/off devices.

6.JPG2500×750 65.7 KB

so you should have 3 devices listed, the physical device (with the custom code) 2 simulated on/off

and the app links all 3 together.

in the code for the device type I changed capability “Switch” to capability “relaySwitch” this is to hide it from the “switches”
and the same goes for the app

if you need any more help please let me know.

Hello, can you supply a code and manual how to connect Fibaro Relay Switch 1x3kW FGS-211 to ST?

27

Hello @ma10

In the picture you posted this is a 3 way wiring config right ?
Where did you connect the common please? Did you just leave it on the wall switch as is?
Can I conect the common to S2?

Many thanks

Hi,
Could I ask how deep is your back box? The Fibaro documentation suggests minimum of 45mm deep boxes. I have however 35mm deep and look very similar to the above. How much of a tight fit is it?

29

Can anyone help out a total idiot? I have read through all these discussions, and finally managed to connect my FGS-222 and set the switched to latching. I had picked up a Z-Wave Multichannel device, with two end point switches which seemed to stop working when I published PukkaHq’s app and thought I was finally getting somewhere. Now I’m at a complete loss with one virtual switch I somehow managed to create and the multichannel device on the My Home page. Can anybody spell out step by step what you need to publish, create and link, the FGS-222 and two separate switches in Smartthings. I’m attempting to replace a number of X10 DIN units and I thought this looked really promising, but

Hi, @abalch, The device essentially has 2 switches, but ST can only really deal with Switch 1 unless you go into the switch on your app every time you want to turn either one on/off, so you need:

  1. The relay device type assigned to your relay. this will show both switches and control both. https://github.com/Pukkahq/SmartThings/blob/master/Fibaro%20FGS-222
  2. 2x “Simulated Switch” - one for each of the relay switches you want to control.
  3. The custom app. https://github.com/Pukkahq/SmartThings/blob/master/Fibaro%20FGS-222%20APP This links the virtual switches to the relay device within smartthings.
    @pukka’s all work well for me, but there is also a device type and app by @erocm1231 that does the job great.

The virtual switches are what you use in other smartapps and routines etc. If you try and use the relay device in other smartapps you’ll only ever be able to control “switch 1”. So the actual device just kind of sits in the background, and the 2 simulated switches are the things you actually use to control each relay.
Hope that helps a bit? :persevere:

Hi

Many thanks for the guidance. Think I may have go there now with the creation of simulated switches, just a shame that you end up with the relay device and the two switches as things on the home page in the app. Really appreciate your helpful response

Hi Guys,

Did anyone get this to work, as a newbee I have added a device handler and published for myself but how do i associate this with a device ?

Thanks

33

in the IDE under your devices page, find your device and click on it then choose edit.

then just select your device type handler from the type dropdown to your custome device type and hit update

Thanks for the information. I will give it a go

Hello guys!
I am really new to this and most of the stuff I read here does not make much sense to me. But I have been keen on automating my home recently. After lots of research on hubs I concluded that Smarthings is one of the best because I want it to be integrated with Amazon Alexa for voice control. I have not bought the hub yet, but I bought some Fibaro double relay switches to check the wiring and fitting in the box. I managed to wire it and fit it and with the hard button on it can only turn one relay only, is this normal? My most important question is with my very little experience will I be able to operate these switches with the Smartthings? I also have one roller shutter switch. On smartthings website it mentions it is compatible with most Fibaro switches except these 2 I have and need most. Can please someone advise and help? Thanks.

Hi. I got my electrician to install my fibaro relay today. I have powered it up and pressed the switch button 3 times but I dont seem to be able to get Smartthings to recognise it. I have attached a picture of my config (only 2 of the switches are designed to be used with the FGS-222).

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Didnt see this post, I assume you got it working in the end?

If not then I would suggest this:

  1. Check the device is getting power, you should hear a slight hum when on, or see a small light (I cant remember without opening up my sockets)
  2. Try pressing three times faster, quite often I find you need all 3 presses in a second, rather than 1 every second. Also triple click is effectively 6x click if you have toggle switches (which they look to be).
  3. If the above dont work (and you cant control the lights manually on the switches then I suggest checking the wiring.
  4. If none of the above work then it looks like ST is failing to find it for some reason, is it definitely in ‘Search’ mode when you triple click?

Hi
 thanks for the reply.

It seems the rapid switching (within a second) was the key. Thank you so mcuh

I have the dual relay so i guess now i need to swap the device type to control both channels (its only controlling the main one at the moment). There seems to be a few above. Any advise on which one to go for would be great.

Cheers again
JJ

Glad to hear it.
Im using “Fibaro FGS-222 Dual Relay” by Pukkahq

but I’m actually just about to write one myself so it has child devices (I.e. separate devices which can then interface with Alexa and CoRE). Currently it is quite difficult to arrange and requires a smart app but my solution will not need it. Feel free to install as you see fit, but then perhaps give my version a go if you fancy.

Hi Guys,

I had one of these setup on homeassistant connected to a aesotec z-wave stick. That died so I decided to get a smartthings hub instead of rebuilding.

I have managed to exclude and add my aeotec multi sensor, but I cannot get the hub to see my dual relay.

I’ve tried the hold for three second reset, then press 3 times, but it never seems to work.

Anyone got any pointers, have tried this over 30 times with no joy.

I have tried exclusion too from the smartthings hub, but I don’t get a notification of any kind when I do the three presses then either.

At a bit of a loss as I can’t press the button any quicker?

Thanks

Gareth
