Hopefully this is the best place to ask - I am getting some odd behaviour in my Fibaro light switches. It is a long standing installation of a mixture of 40ish FGS-223 switches and FGD-212 switches connected to an Aeotec Z-wave dongle.
Been working reliably for 5+ years. I am pretty meticulous with reading the patch notes and applying them and testing them for any breaking changes. The system has been running pretty solidly on my home assistant blue. I am using the Z-Wave JS integration and have been for some time.
My issue is that when I press the light switch - the actual light doesn’t turn on - however it is registering as being turned on inside home assistant. I initially thought it was an issue with the light fixture and had planned on getting an electrician to look at it (it is unlikely to be due to the globes as the fixture has multiple LED globes in it and the chances of both of them going at the same time is remote).
The first instance occurred about two weeks ago - just haven’t got around to fixing it. The weird thing is now another switch is doing exactly the same. When the switch is turned on - the lights don’t work physically - but the switch registers as being turned on in home assistant. This switch controls multiple separate light fixtures - so it isn’t a fixture issue.
The second switch is a trigger for an automation to turn other switches on - and it triggers the rest of the automation fine - and those lights physcially works.
Turning on the switch in HA doesn’t turn on the physical light - they are effectively dead.
I have tried googling for an answer - but they all relate to the opposite issue - where the light works, but doesn’t register in home assistant.
Has anyone else heard of my issue before and can point me in the right direction. There are no error messages related to these switches occuring in HA
The first fixture stopping working wasn’t related to any update of Z-wave - and I have done another update between the first one breaking and the second and things were fine for about a week.
I have copied the logs of the Z-Wave integration for
The switch being manually turned on
The switch being manually turned off
The switch being turned on via HA
The switch being turned off via HA
I can’t see any mention of these switches having a smart bulb mode in its manual
But equally there are a lot of modes in there that I don’t understand
I would love some guidance on where to look to solve this issue - it is really confusing me.
