Momentary switch dimmable lamp
Need Answer
Hello,
I have a momentary switch for a dimmable lamp. If you push it and release, lamp goes on. If you push it again, it goes off. If you push and hold, intensity goes up until you release it. Push and hold, intensity goes down until you release it.
Now I have automated it with a Fibaro double 223 switch, and managing it with the traditional switches it is not a problem. It works properly.
My question: how do I do it from the Fibaro app? I suppose should be a type of device which allows you while pressing a button, keep live the signal. When releasing, kill it.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have same problem, did you find some kind of solution?

Not sure what you need. From any application you should have a slider that allows you to select intensity.

Not yet. I opened a support ticket and they are telling me this functionality is supportted. That I should select "Momentary switch". But I tried and it doesn't work. I also have tried with combinations of AUTO OFF, DELAY OFF, etc that exists on my Fibaro double switch 2.
For me what it is misssing is the functionality on the Zipato soft for power-when-pushing button.
For the fisical switch there is no problem.
I will keep you updated

Hello Damir, any success? I've also checked it exists some 0-10v to Dali devices (for example: http://lunatone.at/es/sistemas-dali/módulos-de-interfaz/). But I didn't checked.
But I've been digging a little bit and this request is really simple: Fibaro switch module allows a mode called "TOGGLE SW".
According Fibaro this mode works this way: "toggle switch (contact closed – ON, contact opened – OFF)". And in fact it does.
In my case I want to send a pulse, which length I decide by holding pressed my (momentary) switch. So it works properly with the phisical button.
What I need is to reproduce this with the mobile app and Zipatile.
Simple. Isn't it?

Yes this issue is that you can not send a "timed" press of a button in the Zipato app. Dimming as you are trying to do is done directly by a z-wave dimmer module in most cases, not via another electronic dimmer. Basically if you were to use the mini energy dimmer or fibaro dimmer, they would replace the dali/osram dimmer you are currently using.
Currently the only way I can see how to control via the dali dimmer is with the inbuilt relays in the Zipatile. These you can set up with the touch buttons on the zipatile for closing the contact on touch and opening on release. But no buttons in the app support this.
You could alternatively, and this would be a big work around, create a virtual dimmer, that via rules actives the fibaro module for xx number of seconds depending on what the value of the dimmer is. For example, you set the dimmer to 50%, the rule states that when this dimmer is activated, turn on the fibaro module for 5 seconds then turn it off. You could create a formula to process the variables to make this easier and quicker, or use a range instead of just a set percentage.

Damir, all,
I've just get this message from Vedran from the Support team: "We will reproduce the case in our lab as currently it seems to be functioning a bit differently.
Please give us a bit more time and we'll get back to you as we progress towards the solution".
Hopefully there may be a solution!
