'Fibaro Z-Wave FGK-101 Temperature & Door/Window Sensor' Full Support Handler

JJ that all makes sense. Not limited to Fibaro, other devices are also failing. Don’t thik ST will roll back, they have never done this when faced with problems before. This, apparently is an issue to do with ST being compliant with changing z-wave specifications. Trouble is if Fibaro fix the issue with an OTA firmware update we can not do it on ST platform. Has to be done on Fibaro own platform. Unless ST lean heavily on them. Along with 100’s of other ST sers we will have to sit back & wait to see what happens.
Interesting is that my two later FGK-101 that have temp & use native ST handler show temp.
Thanks for your time on this.

I also have other non Fibaro devices that are not working correctly, SSR boiler control for one.

@geeji Just read your post on my linked Z-Wave Issues With Firmware Update 30.3 thread.

I have three FGMS-001 one FGDW-002 & two FGK-10x Z5 that all report temperature correctly (he says reaching for his phone to check)

It is interesting that your 2 FGK-10x ZW5 are OK : likely, it comes from the stronger encoding performed by the newer FGK-10x for reports (see the different decoding sections in my v0.9.7.4 Handler).
Unfortunately, there is again nothing I can do : the FGK-10x choose the way they wish to report.

The only (partial) solution AFAIK would be for SmartThings users to be able to opt for NEVER UPDATING their Hubs firmwares. That would have avoided the latest sore episode.
But unfortunately, that would not avoid updates within the rest of the SmartThings cloud, as we have seen multiple times in the past :frowning:

You may volunteer for beta-testing the just released 0.30.4 Hub firmware, supposed to solve the endpoints<>0 issue for older FIBARO devices, on v2/v3 Hubs.
See this post in the other thread.

Hey All,

We are releasing 0.30.4 firmware to our external beta users Today (Friday, May 8th) which includes the fix for the Z-Wave issue in 0.30.3.

If you are interested in receiving the firmware, please sign up using the following link https://goo.gl/Gw4cEK . You can always opt out afterwards.

I would appreciate if those with the affected hubs and devices could sign up and provide feedback over the weekend.

Thanks again for your help and patience!

Got the beta but it didn’t bring temp readings back on my 101’s :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Thanks @johnny2678, your findings are unfortunately “normal” now that SmartThings confirmed 0.30.4 took care only of “Destination Endpoint 1” and ++NOT++ of “Destination Endpoint 2”, as used by FGK-101 for Temperature reports.
I added a post in the Z-Wave Issues with Firmware Update 30.3 thread to make the case for FIBARO and pre-ZW5 FGK-10x.

Let’s pray the “Compliance Fundamentalists” do not win…

That post took my breath away :rofl:

Well said, hope they have a reasonable response and comply with opening up the other endpoints. Thanks again for your work on this.

I mean, you even included a ++JUST DO IT!++ :rofl:

A third thread has been created to specifically discuss Z-Wave Backwards Compatibility, and all the posts I entered about the broken FGK-10x in the previous Z-Wave Issues with Firmware Update 30.3 have been moved there.
Not sure it is a good omen…

Based on the limited numbers of users posting, I’d guess ST is going through a Recall calculation and deciding it’s not worth it. We’re on our own.

There are so many lawyers in the States, some must have too much free time on their hands due to the confinement.
If one of you knows one such, could be worth to start agitating a Class Action Suit menace…

And no, I am definitely not a prosecution freak, but I hate to be swindled as neglectable “collateral damage” when law is clearly (?) on our side.
Especially since the cost for SmartThings to give us satisfaction is basically ZERO, they just have to backtrack (and yes, lose some face too :star_struck:).

I like your style :rofl:

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don’t know any lawyers like that and I’m not the litigious type either. I let my money speak for me.

Already own a hubitat, this will just accelerate my migration.

buuuuut of course hubitat does not support the FGKs, probably due to zwave incompatibility ;). I tried the other night, they pair ok but don’t even report open/close correctly, much less Temp. Kept getting “BasicSet” responses.

FYI… 30.5 appears to have fixed my FGKs.

Still testing

Hi everyone,

I am running into the same issue that appears to be driven by the recent Firmware push (30.3). Can others confirm that the beta FW (30.5) corrected the temp reporting issues? If so, can someone point me in the direction of getting my hands on this FW version?

Thanks in advance!

The fix has gone into production and should be pushed out to all customers over the next few days based on the following announcement:

I can confirm that the fibaro-z-wave-fgk-101 temperature reading is working again with firmware 0.30.5!

My version of the fgk-101 is: zw:S type:2001 mfr:010F prod:0700 model:1000 ver:2.05 zwv:3.67
