My changes of my Fibaro devices in advanced settings are not saved. Don’t know if it is a problem of Homey 2.0 beta or the beta app of Fibaro. Please advise. Kind regards, Robert ---

Battery devices only receive their settings at wake-up. This is usually only after several hours or even days. If you want to save immediately you have to wake up the device (clicking the button 3 times for Fibaro) and then press Save. You’ll see that you receive a different response when saving then. ---

No the procedure does not work, the Homey app error message is: Settings cannot be saved, timed out after 30000ms. ---

Ah, would have been nice to mention that in your first post 😉 So it’s working ok for powered devices? Might be a bug then indeed. ---

Key have the Keyfob working fine and its fast for the time being. Yet. I want to enable double and triple clicks on a button. So I go do the device advanced setting. Change the setting for a button to 1x,2x,3x, long (say for a square), click on save and it times out. Here is a video: Thanks in advance for any help. ---

Had this same problem after just pairing the Keyfob. I resolved this issue by restarting the Keyfob app in Homey. To do this, in the Homey app, go to ‘More’ -\> ‘Apps’ -\> ‘Fibaro’ -\> the options/gear button in the upper right corner -\> ‘Restart app’. Now you should be able to change the settings. ---

Usually, that is not how it works. A device has to be awake to receive new settings and a restart from an app normally doesn’t trigger a wake up of a device. Also, most battery devices have a setting for waking up after a specified time period, but even that is not enough to receive updates with a delay. You must (almost) always wake up a device manually (mostly by pressing a button once or 3 times) just before sending the new settings to it.
