Fibaro Wall Plug b-button as scene controller?

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control
#1

Hi, I’ve been using my Fibaro Wall plugs for years, but only now noticed that the status of the light is not reported back to Vera immediately when using the small b-button on the devices themselves. The status is only somewhat later retrieved (through polling I guess). That’s a shame because I had planned to use the button to trigger a scene :slight_smile:
Is this by design (some sort of listen only)? Or is there a way to have it sent to my Vera immediately somehow? Would setting the polling at 5 seconds overload my z-wave network?

Thanks for any ideas :slight_smile:

Strange, on my Fibaro Wall plugs the feedback is instant (< 1s) as the Vera GUI updates from OFF > ON or vice versa.

I even have a Reactor event attached to this. When pressing the B-button on some lamp downstairs, several other will follow and go out to sleep :wink:

Okay, interesting! That is without direct associations i assume?
And did you customize the settings for the plugs (polling especially)? Thanks!

No polling tuning, in fact you don’t want to poll too much, I think at most 1x per minute or something is the value here.
What do you mean with direct association ? In the variables sub-menu, there is no values for ConfiguredAssoc

The plug is detected as a : urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:BinaryLight:1

Thanks, I’ll go and try out some more.

Could this be related to the version and/or z-wave plus? Mine is an older model, the FGWPE/F-101 which doesnt’t have z-wave plus.

Mine neither (have them many years already before zwave “plus” even existed) , I quickly checked on the side of the plug FGWPE/F-101 just like yours.
