Can't include Fibaro FGD-212 dimmer

Hi all

First post here,and first adventure with Z-wave, as I try to replace some old X10 gear.

I have a Raspberry Pi running Domoticz, and have just bought a Razberry board.
I've set this up and added it as a device in Domoticz, looks OK as far as I can tell.

I have one Z-wave device that I am trying to include, a Fibaro FGD-212 dimmer (EU version).

In Domoticz, I try to include the node, and I set the FGD-212 up for inclusion, either by pressing my (retractable) wall switch quickly 3 times, or the "B" button quickly 3 times.

The LED lights red on the Razberry board - but then nothing happens. The dialog in Domoticz stays open, waiting for the device to include, but this never happens - the only option is to abort. When I do abort, the red LED on the Razberry goes off.

Any ideas what might be the issue ?

When I press the B button 3 times quickly on the Fibaro, should the LED on the Fibaro dimmer light up ? (It doesn't - just don't know if it should or not)
How can I be sure I've got the EU version of the Razberry ? The crystal seems to be marked "U" but I'm not sure what that indicates.

Thanks for any suggestions. Hopefully it's just me doing something daft...

Perhaps should add I'm using Domoticz v2.3530 (I installed the Domoticz RPi image)

I know this is an old post, but did you get them paired in the end?
I'm now in the same position. (using quick triple clock of B button).

Don't worry, i did a full reset of the dimmer, then tried again, all then went well.

What worked perfect for me was put domoticz in inclusion mode and then power the node. Worked perfect for me 9 out of 10 times!

Hi, im in this situation right now, it looks like i cannot reset fibaro dimmer :/ I can cycle to yellow light, and pressing b-button once after that, it just doesnt give red blink, and cannot include node now :(

I always go through the exclusion process 1st with every z-wave device... I learned this the hard way... then inclusion usually goes smoothly.

Have you turned the relay off for about a minute, then tried the reset procedure? From what i remember, you need to do that procedure within 30seconds of power on.

Strange thing was, that when i triple clicked b-button for it to go inclusion mode, it turned lights on/off depending whether they were on or off...
I then removed it from ceiling, only added L+N on it, red light turned on and it never did go off and i couldnt reset it this way either..

I did not wait that long tho, ill try it again later, its on the table now.
