Fibaro Dimmer 2 - Standard Domoticz Timer for Dimmer turns on and immediatly off (z-stick GEN5)

[tbryel]

Hi,

I've fitted a Fibaro Dimmer 2 and it works fine when I use the Domoticz application and turn the swith manually and also when I physically change the switch. I've set a couple of timers, the once that turn 'off' the device seem to work but the ones that need to turn on the device trigger both an 'On' and 'Off' event.

The following timer is set within the standard Domoticz UI for this 'dimmer' Switch:
Turn on the lights 'On Time': 06:15

What happens is:

Code: Select all

Date			Data				User
2022-01-30 06:15:01	Off				Z-Stick GEN5
2022-01-30 06:15:01	On				Z-Stick GEN5
2022-01-30 06:15:01	Set Level: 100 % 		timer

end-result: Lights haven't been turned on.

I've tried doing this on my Synology Domoticz installation first but as Jadahl is no longer creating packages I decided that I needed to upgrade my Domoticz installation to a recent version as that might resolve my issue. So I did, installed a raspberry Pi with domoticz instead and I'm not doing this on Domoticz Stable: 2021.1.

Unfortunatly I get sort of the same end-result, my dimmer gets triggered at the time I want and it tries to turn on my device but the 'Z-Stick GEN5' user then also invokes an 'off' command.

I've never experienced this kind of behaviour before and I'm a bit puzzled now as I think I ruled out that this is caused by the Domoticz installation/version. The only thing I'm not sure of that can cause this is:
- Distance, can it be that the Fibaro Dimmer 2 Switch wasn't 'reachable' and therefore my timer didn't work and my 'z-stick' ensured that the status of the switch remained correct: Off (this would be strange as I'm able to turn it on manually via 'Domoticz UI')

Ps. I tried setting the dimmer 'on time' via blockly as well, sort of the same result:

Code: Select all

Date			Data			User
2022-01-30 13:54:01	Off			Z-Stick GEN5
2022-01-30 13:54:01	Set Level: 61 %		Z-Stick GEN5
2022-01-30 13:54:00	On			EventSystem/Turn on Tuinverlichting via Blockly_1

Has anyone else experienced such behavior and or has any suggestion on what to look for?

Thanks for all the help and inputs. It's really very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi,

An update, the switches are working if I do the following:

Set on time to: 06:15 to turn on, result: doesn’ t work.

Schedule another time to turn on on 06:16, result; switch is turned on and light/dimmer work.

It must be due to the range/ time it takes for the device to respond that it worked.

I was looking for an even better device/aeotec zwave stick setting that would eg allow me to change the wait for response time from 1sec to 2sec but I was unable to find such a setting.

Anybody here that knows of such a setting?

Kind regards,

Tim

Anyone any idea?

Here with a sample of the device log of how ive now set it up. Now the second timer invoke that occurs 1 minute later than the first does persist:

Code: Select all

2022-02-20 18:03:01	On			Z-Stick GEN5
2022-02-20 18:03:01	Set Level: 100 %	timer
2022-02-20 18:02:01	Off			Z-Stick GEN5
2022-02-20 18:02:01	On			Z-Stick GEN5
2022-02-20 18:02:01	Set Level: 100 %	timer
