I would like to see what the value of Parameter 12 of my Fibaro Dimmer is. How might I do this?
(It’s the maximum dimmer level control FWIW)
TIA

Is there a parameter 12? Where have you found that info ?
In Control - device options, select monitor only
In the manual!
C
had to think about that!
Cheers, just reloading
Hmm, not sure that had the desired effect. In the Variables I now have
VariableSet 12,m,
And a setting user configuration flag…
C
thats just the device option setting that a variable is being monitored. If you remove the monitor VariableSet will be blank
Red flags worry me. Also, I still can’t see the actual value?
C
maybe there isn’t a var 12.
remove the monitor and flag should go
This is a Fibaro Dimmer 1 module right ?
Dimmer 1 does have a Parameter 12
Dimmer 2 does not have a Parameter 12 at all.
From the Dimmer 2 user manual
So if its a Dimmer 2 module, looks like you want parameter 2
What type of bulbs are you using ?
Cheers. I thought it was a Dimmer 1, although Vera claims it’s a Dimmer 2, just seems unlikely.
I’m using dimmable LED’s. I know they can go brighter but when I swapped out the halogens it started turning them on and off
I’ll try parameter 2
EDIT:
OK that seems to have worked, and it seems I have a lot more brightness to play with
Current value for parameter 2 appears to be 46…

You likely need the Dimmer 2 Bypass with Led bulbs.
When I swapped some of my halogens to Led I had to fit the bypass device in the ceiling rose.
Or the bulbs would flicker and not turn off.
You also need to re-run the calibration routine after installing a bypass device.
Have the bypass and think I’ve done the calibration.
What makes me curious is that when I swapped them the maximum brightness (before they cut out) was brighter than they are now…
So my logic (right or wrong) is that I should be able to get a higher maximum brightness. The bulbs take it, not sure why the dimmer module wouldn’t…

I don’t have any Dimmer 1 modules.
My Dimmer 2 modules are reported in Vera as device FGD-212.
I believe Dimmer 1 are FGD-211.
You can’t use a Dimmer 2 Bypass device with a Dimmer 1 module either, so you need to know really which module it is.
I was pretty sure I had a FGD-211 but looks like (on the grounds that I have parameter 2 not 12…) I have 212. Going to ramp up the value for 2 and see what happens…
