Can you install this update and re-include the Zigbee Curtain Controller based on this update.
Unfortunately, re-including of the Zigbee Curtain Controller(s) is required, but only one time. If future updates are needed, I’ll ensure you can proceed without re-including.
@Erik_Kempen this update will enable to set a defined closure level and start / hold controls:
Hi Ted,
Just installed the 1.5 version. I had to disable “automatic updates”, as for some reason unknown to me, Homey bumped it back to 1.4.
I have in total 3 screens in use, each with its own controller. I first removed one screen, and then initiated add device, selected the curtain controller, and interrupted power to the screen to invoke the include proces. This immediately worked.
The begin screen where you remind how to include devices is nice, but it will need two additional remarks:
if you had the device installed using a different app and you do NOT remove that device first, you will end up with two devices. If you then remove the initial device, you will loose both devices…
you have to run the calibration process, press switch K2 two or three times (depending on the connected appliance). If you don’t do that, then the positioning controls will not know how to properly position the blinds or screen.
So far, Ted, it seems to work fine.
You could consider adding a close/open function to the short press on the icon (now there is no action defined for short press).
I will test some more later this week with creating flows.
Thanks!
Erik.
Thanks for the feedback @Erik_Kempen.
If you update the test version to 1.5.1, you’ll get the open close function by pressing the icon “for free”; will require an additional restart of the app after updating.
Quick question, the ZigBee wall dimmer… is it possible to connect a normal lamp to this dimmer (seems possible looking at the diagram)? If so, is it possible to switch the lamp on/off with another ZigBee switch? I would like to use this -sunricher- (https://www.hiline-lighting.co.uk/gb/zigbee-led-controllers/672-zigbee-touch-panel-rgbw-5060440714634.html) Zigbee RGBW unit with 4 groups. I would assign 1 group to the Robbsmart wall dimmer. Is this possible?
Hi. I have bought the led dimmer z-wave with 4 channels. When I add the device, I can’t switch the channels seperately. What am I doing wrong? I would prefer 4 seperate devices in my homey?
So actually useless they are separate channels? Cause you can’t control them seperately? The only option is to send it back and buy 4 seperate dimmers for low voltage? Any advice?
The channels refer to the separate power supplies (controlled by a single dimmer), actually quite handy if you want to connect long led strips and have equal light intensity. But indeed not able to control individual channels (also not advertised as such if I’m correct).
I asked the shop (after buying) today… And they thought it could be controlled seperately… So a bit disappointed. Do you know other devices that can dim and switch low voltage leds? Zwave or zigbee… preferrable 3 lines on one device? But 3 would be fine top. And working with homey offcourse.
On chapter 4.3 they talk about switches? But I don’t need that? How would I have to connect them? Switching would be done bij Homey flows? https://manuals.fibaro.com/rgbw-2/
For the people wanting to extend their Zigbee network, two new devices are added to the app: a Zigbee based curtain controller (first for Homey) and a new door / window sensor strip:
I’m new to Homey, I have a issue with the 8 button zigbee wallcontroller. I can add the wallcontroller into the Robb smart app. But can’t add a button to a flow for powering a lamp i.e. I have tried to bind a button during the creation from the flow without any result. Thanks in avance!
Hi, I’ve bought 5 “ SMART ROTARY DIMMER Z-WAVE ROBB SMARRT SKU: ROB_100-014-0“ and I’ve tried to add them to Homey using the Robb smarrt app with no luck.
I doesn’t work accordingly to the instructions, when adding the devices I’m stuck on the first dialogue.
‘Reset the dimmer, triple press the rested button…(exclusion mode).’
I have also done factory reset a number of times.
I have my homey 1 cm from the dimmer.
Am I doing it wrong? I’m about to give up and returning the dimmers…
@Frupps can you help me to indicate what is not working? Which error code do you see?
Some additional suggestions:
the tripple press of the button has to be done within ~1.5 second
do other Z-wave devices work?
all Z-wave devices have a 2-step inclusion; first the device will be removed (tripple press the reset button) to secure there is no history of another controller, the second step is to include the device into Homey’s Z-wave network (again tripple press of the reset button). After removing, it is advised to wait 5-10 seconds, before trying to re-include (second tripple press)
Create 3 Virtual devices, one for each Channel (R,G,B) Device class Light and with the capabilities On/Off and dimmable.
Create a flow to synchronize the dimm level of you VD with the Channel R of you RBGW Controller.
When Dimm level VD changes
Then set Channel R = Dimm level (VD)
Create additional 2 flows to synchronize the ON/Off status
When VD is switched on
And Dimm level VD > 0
Then set Channel R = Dimm level VD
Else
set Channel R = 100%
and set dimm level VD = 100%
By using the condition, you are able set the dimm level to last dimm level before the light was switched off. But you can also use a dimm level which ever you prefer.
Like
When VD is switched on
Then set Channel R = x%
and set dimm level VD = x%
