Problems with FGK10x sensor and FGD212 dimmer

Hi

I must admit I'm a novice regarding Z-Wave and how it works. Specially on how to use the different groups.
During my experimenting with the combination of door sensor(FGK10x), movement and light sensor(ZW100) and dimmer (FGD212) I seem to have added the dimmer and the multisensor to Group 2 together with the door sensor - I think...?

The result is that the dimmer turns on the light when the door opens - great!! - but my Blocky script which previously turned on the light when the light was low and after sunset doesn't work consistently. I've now tried to remove the dimmer and multisensor from group 2 but the light still turns on when the door opens. How do I get back to a state where the dimmer ignores the door switch ?

Thanks,
Per

Battery powered devices dees not get config updates as normal elec powered devices.
They do have a Wakeup window defined in parameter 2000
to force config change you have to wakeup the device (on fibaro you need to open the cover and click 3 times the TMP button.
on FGK-10x where you have 2 TMP buttons, one MUST be kept pressend and th other should be pressed 3 times)

by doing so the device will receive the new configuration (groups and settings)
Domoticz already reflect the changes you have requested unless you press the Request current stored values from device button in the device config

by my [poor] experience and [full of laks] knwoledge in zWave protocol... since you are using Domoticz, do not play too much with groups!

Groups works out-of-the-controller... it means that disposition setted in Groups will still live if the controller goes down and this is usefull to keep automation in case of server problems
BUT...
since you have a server... let the server automate all for you.

I personally use groups only for security and alarm comunication
