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

Configuration Z-Wave

Can you post a screen shot from the device page under settings, showing all entities?

Have a look please

In the meantime I noticed, that two switches for every fibaro controller appeared on my iPhone in the Home App. (I have the Homekit Integration installed HomeKit - Home Assistant).

The one labeled with (2) actually controls the slate position:

However, when I add the Entity “cover.jalousie_badezimmer_fenster_2” to my Home Assistant Dashboard, I only get the following control:

(Sorry for the three posts, new users can only upload one image per post) :upside_down_face:

Looks good to me: The first cover. entity controls the up and down position, the cover.xxx_2 controls the tilt position.

If manually setting those works you can use the script targeting the two entities to set the position and tilt with one service call with the corresponding parameters.

For the UI I use two sliders:

…but there might be more elegant ways to do it in one line / element.

Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand now how the tilting works :slightly_smiling_face:

Do I understand correctly that these two sliders in your card control the numbers inserted in the variables of your script?
Can you paste the code of that card so I can use it?
I never created a custom card and don’t quite get how to build one to trigger your script.

170

Sure, here’s the coe for the card:

title: Beschattung EG
type: entities
state_color: true
entities:
  - entity: cover.raff_kuche_fenster
  - type: custom:slider-entity-row
    entity: cover.raff_kuche_fenster
    hide_state: true
    name: Position
    icon: mdi:empty
  - type: custom:slider-entity-row
    entity: cover.raff_kuche_fenster_2
    hide_state: true
    name: Lamellen
    icon: mdi:empty
  - type: divider

You only need the custom slider which you can install via HACS. You can of course use any other UI element to set a number to the target entity.

When you then use the slider the cover entity gets set directly, you don’t need the script for this. So if you want to set the blind you simply frist set the position slider (blind begings to move), then the tilt slider (info gets sent to the module and will be adhered to once target position is reached), and everything shoud work.

The script you need to call from automations / other scripts like this:

  action:
    - service: script.turn_on
      target:
        entity_id: script.zw_setcover
      data:
        variables:
          zw_setcover_coverent: cover.raff_kuche_fenster
          zw_setcover_coverpos: 0
          zw_setcover_slatpos: 0

As stated above:

This only works when the entity name for the Slot is the same as the primary shutter with a trailing _2.

…but that seems to be the case given the entities you’ve shown below.

Well, I stopped having this problem several months ago, but with some of the latest zwavejs2mqtt updates I’m back to square one where the current level of my FGR-223 is not updated as it should.

173

me too … hoped the problem was gone forever

Hi there!
Is there any requirement to add the Fibaro RS to HA via Z-Wave JS and Aeotec 5?
I just unpair it successfully from smartthings but i cannot pair it with HA…tryied 20 times and nothing.
Even reset the fibaro to default and nothing.
Is there any advice or trick?
Thanks!

175

No - set controller to pairing mode (if you have problems try without S2), then click UP or button of module 3x quickly. Full reset via internal button if your not sure about the state of the device.

176

Have you tried a full re-interview?

177

I have the fibaro 8 meters away from my HA.
I tried all the 3 different strategy’s (secure if possible, insecure and legacy secure) to pair it and nothing.
It pairs with ST without any problem, even after the reset (yellow light) i cannot pair it to HA. Its driving me crazy!!

178

No idea… I have ~70 Fibaros working, if some weren’t including at first try a full reset usually helped. I noticed clicking the internal button 3 times was more reliable.

179

Maybe distance is a factor? That would be weird because ST pair it very easily.
Fibaro pairs at the first maybe second time, like other devices or we must insist?
Im pretty sure, that the problem is related with the fact it was paired before with another system, even if u did a factory reset on it…
I´, out of ideias…btw, am i suppose to add some text/commands to any of the HA yaml files, to help the Zwave integration? Because i didnt, but i have others devices working just fine.

180

After a factory reset pairing to a new controller should be no problem. For some controllers to work realiably at some boards / SoCs an extension cable or USB hub was necessary, but if other Z-Wave devices work fine that shouldn’t be the problem.

Are you sure that the factory reset goes through fine? You need to click and hold the button until it starts cycling through the colors, wait till yellow comes up, then release and quickly click again. If the reset works it restarts and blinks red once.

grafik

You coud buy a brand new module and see if this pairs fine to check, but after a factory reset it should not matter which controller it was paired to before.

You can also try closer to the controller (I use a cable with a EU power plug on one end and connect the two wires to N and L of the Fibaro, does not matter which one to which terminal, and plug it in an outlet next to the controller) to see if its problem with your mesh.

If nothing helps you can reset your controller, all nodes, delete everything in HA and start from scratch.

No additional ideas…

I tried with another Fibaro RS 3 (i have 10) and ALL worked, exactly in the same condition (previous connected with ST) and with the same process.
So, now i have all working but that first one, nothing, i can pair with ST, unpair, reset, pair it again, its fine, but nothing with HA…should i throw it to the garbage?!
Another interesting question…in ST i could insert the open % i want, like 50% open. Is there any way to do it on HA? Or just closed/open?
And can i update this device via OTA HA?
Thanks!!

Depending on the age of the device, if it does not connect to anything anymore you can have it replaced by Fibaro if it’s not older then 24 months.

Of course you can, HA shows it as a multi-level switch, you can use corresponding services to set position. See my posts above around January as well as:

And can i update this device via OTA HA?

If you can get the files from Fibaro I guess so (at least using Z-Wave UI integration), afaik they do not
publish their updates to HA.

All working fine, using the HACS:
-Shutter Card - for PC
-Shutter Row - for mobile (occupies less space)

The OTA update it would be good if someone got the files…

Thanks for your help @NamCisum !
