Qubino light won't dimm anymore after installing Pulse switches

Post by AllesVanZelf »

Hello,
I have a strange problem.
I installed a Qubino Flush dimmer ZMNHDD1.
Everything worked well. I was able to dim the led lights by domoticz.
But now I changed the two normal on/off switches (both on I1 of Qubino) with pulse/momentary switches.
I changed qubino settings to: Input 1 switch type: Mono stable push button.
I now can switch the lights with a single push on the switches.

But now my problem. I'm not able to switch the light nor dim the lights by domoticz. The lights go on very briefly, and immediately switch off.
What could be the problem here?

Is it possible that the momentary/pulse button switch needs a blue wire?
The Qubino has a blue wire.
But I did not use the blue wire contact on the switch, although this switch has a blue wire contact.

That would be a problem, because I do not have a blue wire behind that switch.

Yes I solve it! With help of Qubino. There reaction was:
Check well the wiring it looks like that the push button are inverted like this one is always Off or vice versa so while you push on one the other is "keep" pressed and it fade the light off.
On one of the switches I changed the black wires. And now it is working as expected.

Hello

I have exactly the same issue. What did you do exactly?

The switch dimms the light now, but it does it really fast.

Thanks for your help !

The toggle switches have a normally-open (NO) and a normally-closed (NC) connector. You need to use the normally-open connection for both up and down. He initially had one or both of the switches connected using the normally-closed connection, causing the dimmer to act as if you the button was always pressed. The fix was to change the wire from the NC connector on the switch to the NO connector on the switch.
