Creating a scene from a roller shutter monostable switch (with fgr 223)

Hello all, I have bought for my roller shutters, some monostable switches with 2 actions (up/down). Behind them, I will put a fibaro fgr 223 module which should be able to start scenes with multiple actions on the switch. As example, a double clic on up switch = all roller shutters from the room opens, triple clic = all house.
I know this is working on jeedom box (a french box) but I would like to know if there is any chance to see it on Homey Pro ?

Thank you

I don’t use FGR-223 my own, but in the app store you can see that there are action cards for scene activation:

So it’s probably possible.

Alright, hopefully you are right. I am not a native English speaker, and I don’t have yet the home automation vocabulary, this is why I still struggle to understand descriptions in the App Store.
Does switch 1 is for up and switch 2 for down ? And then how to define a scene from multi action on these ? To me this is not yet clear. Thanks a lot for your quick feedback btw !
Let’s see if some user has already faced this situation.

In Homey you’ll get 2 devices instances,
one for the left switch and output (S1),
and one for the right switch/output (S2)
Both these devices have a separate “turned on” and “turned off” flow triggers.

Scene activation, which is a separate flow trigger, you can select (under the S1 device) the corresponding scene action card for both switches (S1 and S2), which is a flow trigger so you can do anything you want not just activate scenes (that is just how Z-Wave calls it), and has S1 has 4 options (1x press, 2x press, hold and release) and S2 has 5 options (1x press, 2x press, 3x press, hold and release).

That seems very good :blush:. Thanks a lot for feedback ! So basically, any switch used with a fgr 223 can became a switch to launch a flow. Great :+1:t3:

Hi all, so I have received my homey pro and started to test the fibaro fgr 223 with a double switch. First surprise was to see that up/downs was inverted, so I inverted the output on the fgr parameters and it works. Then I tried to create a flow for a s1 and s2 switch of my blind. I did a flow as following, when S2 is pressed 2x all the blinds of the room must be closed. Tried the flow through the homey app it worked perfectly, but when I tried to pressed 2x the switch itself, nothing happened… I tried to find a solution but can’t find it…

You have to activate scenes in the advanced device settings:

Thanks a lot for the quick answer :). It works perfectly now haha !
For those who also struggle, to unlock both 2x press and 3x press, you have to put the number 7 on each switch.

You’re welcome!
You can fill in 15, then all functions, including Key hold down and key released, will be come available.

Yes thank you. Now I have to find a way to group my blinds. The app group seems not able to group blinds sadly.
Cheers

Edit : i did find the way to do it ! Only 1 parameter needs to be selected in the group. This is tilt set.

Choose as typ Blinds and as ability Set blinds percentage.
This works with my Fibaro Walli Roller Shutter.

So simple and yet so hard to find. Thank you! You’re a life saver.

Just to help some newbees like we all were:

  1. Go to the roller shutter 3 settings.
  2. Scroll down to Switch 1 scenes.
  3. Fill the empty field Switch 1 scenes with the number 15.
  4. Do the same for Switch 2.

I haven’t found a way to do the same with the Fibaro Roller Shutter 4. Can’t find the Switch 1 and Switch 2 fields.
