Personally I didn’t report or ask for support as I was testing the very association itself. I thought I’m doing something wrong. But when same thing got functioning on two different devices I realized there got to be something behind it. Unfortunately I already rearranged the previous buggy setup so I cannot contact support…

In my initial post I was refering to single to double switch direction. Then I tried double to single (no multi device in this direction), still didn’t work. I’m quit puzzled what went wrong with the test. Possibly FGS-223 driver?

Basically to turn on fibaro double switch 2 when fibaro single switch 2, S2 terminal is pressed. How I though it will work: FGS-213 id is 13. FGS-223 id is 14. I went to FGS-213 and under group 4 association added 14.1. Unfortunately without success. I then added row parameter to FGS-213 29,1,15, didn’t help either. …
