Fibaro Roller Shutter 3 (FGR-223) - cannot get it to work properly

Configuration Z-Wave
23

Hi,

Same issue here. Seems to be a known and reported issue in HA:


I’ll comment there with a link to this topic.

I created my own work-around based on the work-around mentioned by LooSik on the open Zwave Github page. It consist of 3 automations. Firstly an automation that starts a polling automation as soon as the cover starts drawing power:

- id: '1558164709864'
  alias: cover_study_start_sampling
  trigger:
  - above: '0'
    entity_id: sensor.cover_study_power
    platform: numeric_state
  condition: []
  action:
  - alias: ''
    data:
      entity_id: automation.cover_study_sample_status
    service: automation.turn_on

Secondly an automation (enabled by the first automation) that polls the cover every 2 seconds:

- id: '1558123485015'
  alias: cover_study_sample_status
  trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    seconds: /2
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      entity_id: cover.study
    service: zwave.refresh_entity

And finally an automation that stops polling automation 5 seconds after the cover stops drawing power:

- id: '1558165456495'
  alias: cover_study_stop_sampling
  trigger:
  - below: '1'
    entity_id: sensor.cover_study_power
    for: 00:00:05
    platform: numeric_state
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      entity_id: automation.cover_study_sample_status
    service: automation.turn_off

So far this seems to work for me. The slider moves (in 2 second steps) while de cover is moving and is at it’s final position maximum 2 seconds after the cover has stopped moving. I’m (so far) not experiencing any (zwave) network issues, but that network at this momoment is only a z-wave stick and this one fibaro module. I’ll soon add 3 more same modules with the same automation. I’ll see if it then still works well.
