Dear Friends

I have a little problem. Iam a new user and i dont know how can i setup my rule creator. I have 2 mco switches, and i would like to use these like switches with 2 way terminal. So i would like switching 1 cicuit with 2 or more switches.

Can anyone help me?

Andras,

I looked into the wiring for these switches, looks like there is no way of wiring them as 2 way switch, is that correct?

I assume when you included these switches you should have a "Touch control" device or maybe a "ON/OFF" device. If you have two switches to control 1 bulb and the switches are not wired as 2 way, then I asume one of them ("master") handles the load and the other does not have anything connected to the load, is that correct? If this is true you could create a couple rules that detect any change of state in the buttons and toggle the load of the switch with every press, see attached.

Unfortunately I have tried this, but its not worked because of the Switches switched on-off continuously.

Andras,

I think that could be because you are using the Output (relay) in your rules, can you post a picture of the device with all the endpoints? maybe it doesn't have touch/input endpoints and only relay/output. That would explain why the rule makes the bulb switch continuosly.

The other option is what Attila suggests, it would actually would work faster, you have to create a direct association in device properties/advanced as he suggests. Remember to disable or delete the rules before you do this.

Andras,

Find attached a video of how to setup associations, in this case I'm setting an association from my I2 of my Qubino relay to a Fibaro RGBW controller. For some reason Zipato Controller started apearing as "unknown device" since the last update.

Hi Andras,

In the assotiation window on the top it states TKB binary switch. It should be MCO, so it seems a different product.

I know for a fact that MCO has this feature but it seems you have selected the wrong product so you see incorect assotiations

Dear Attila

Thank you for your help. Is there anything I can do to setup it? Or the simplest thing is to install a compatible relay between the 2 switches (for example Fibaro 2x1,5 relay)

Thank you

Andras

no you would need a single switch module as this has 2 inputs. 1 for each switch input, S1 & S2, that control the same output, 01.

You need to associate switch 1 with switch 2 and also switch 2 with switch 1.

i would be interested to see how you have wired these up first. Have you wired in both switches to the load(light), or is just one switch connected to the light?

Dear Adrian

1 switch connect to light, the second is only gives signal.

well in that case attila is correct, you just need to associate the 2 devices Check out Zipatos vid on asoociations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlIP3GfWrMM
