Heyhey,

Homey seems to be a bit slow sometimes with turning on the lights based on the motion detectors when using a flow.

I’m trying to directly associate Fibaro Motion Detector (FGMS-001) to a Fibaro Single Switch 2 (FGS-213).

Has anybody been able to that ?

I saw your message on the associations between the motion sensor and a switch. Have you been able to get it working ?

Hi, just a quick note. After some debugging and help from Claude, I found the solution. Through the regular interface, the associations don’t seem to get properly set.

In the Develop portal you can send RAW data to the Z-wave network and through that I’ve reliably set the right associations.

These are the commands to send:  
**Read a group** : `NODE_ID,0x85,0x02,GROUP_ID`  
**Add a node to a group** : `NODE_ID,0x85,0x01,GROUP_ID,TARGET_NODE_ID`  
**Remove a node from a group** : `NODE_ID,0x85,0x04,GROUP_ID,TARGET_NODE_ID`

NODE\_ID, GROUP\_ID and TARGET\_NODE\_ID are regular numbers (1,2,3..) and correspond to the ID’s of the Fibaro-nodes (visible in the Devices-overview)
