Problems with Fibaro dimmer (turn off automatically)
Need Answer
Hi,
I have a Fibaro dimmer installed which controls three lights. I already have checked the max. watt and this shouldn't be a problem. When I turn on the dimmer, doesn't matter if pyhsical switch or via motion sensor, then the lights turn on and when the dimmer reached the 100%, lights switch off again. I played with the dimmer settings and tuned the step times. Problem still exists but it is a little bit better now. Any suggestions what I can do to get rid of this anoying problem?
Thanks,
Thorsten

it is probably something to do with the auto calibration settings. The fibaro dimmers go through some kind of auto calibration setting when first included to define what type of light the are connected to and min and max values. try resetting this and configuring it yourself through the parameter

If Dimmer2: check parameter 20: If you are using a toggle switch then set to 1, if momentary (push) switch use 0
if Dimmer: check parameter 14: If you are using a toggle switch then set to 1, if momentary (push) switch use 0
Hope this helps. Did you re-apply the descriptors for this device? It might have happened by mistake that the Zipabox incorrectly modifed the parameters values, but this is something I've neve expereienced before :-)

Thank you for the hint! I will try this paramater change and will update you if it works.

I have experienced the same problem. Mine is doing the exact same thing when I dim the lights down (below 25 watt). I found that in the event viewer it is sent an overheat alarm from the dimmer. I suspect it is because of low load. I have ordered Fibaro bypass load and I will try this soon.

I'm also having the same problem as you Thomas. Om several newly installed dimmers. They turn of and report an overheat alarm.
In my case they also turn themselves on intermittently.
Did you find a solution?

I watch these to get my fill of interesting information before moving on to the more frivolous bubble shooter. All ages can enjoy this fun and challenging game of ball shooting.
