Hi! I’ve got the following setup: - Fibaro Dimmer 2 – Advanced Settings \> Scene Activation = Yes - momentary switch connected to S1 - momentary switch connected to S2 - ceiling spots connected to Dimmer 2 I would like to control the ceiling spots, a ventilator and the music with scene activation and a few logics. The scene activation works perfectly fine. Here comes my question: the dimmer is still performing it’s basic functionality on S1 and I would like to disable that. The following happens: 1 single push on S1 turns the lights ON. 1 single push again on S1 turns the lights off. It even happens when I activate the flows with scene activation. One single push on S1 turns the light on and activates the scene. I don’t want to use S1 to turn lights on or off. Is there a parameter for this to disable the standard behaviour? I read the manual, but didn’t find what I was looking for. ---

Maybe you can use “switch input 1 and input 2” or use input 2 and not input 1 ? ---

Thanks for looking at it! Switching inputs will just move the problem from S1 to S2. I need both S1 and S2. S2 can send up to 3 scene-activation click commands, S1 can send up to 2 scene-activation click commands. Let’s hope for other solutions 🙂 ---

Hi Jan, it does here… If I set “Switch input 1 and input 2” to YES, i can turn the light on and off with S2 instead of S1. I just tried it. ---

I believe this isn’t possible to disable completely, only for one of the inputs so the output doesn’t change (device limitation) ---

Don’t attach the ceiling spots to the dimmer. ---

> [@Rocodamelshekima](#): > > Don’t attach the ceiling spots to the dimmer. That doesn’t work. Because the Dimmer need a load. Without a load the dimmer starts to blink red and doesn’t react on S1 or S2 anymore. ---

Just attach the bypass will do? ---

With a bypass instead of a load it should work. But I didn’t test it. ---

Hi guys, a Dimmer 2 with bypass and no lights connected works for what I want to achieve. (I have this setup working to control HUE scenes) For the setup that we’re currently discussing I would then need a 2nd Dimmer2 to dim the ceiling spots. That’s extra costs… I was hoping for a digital solution to separate outputs from inputs 🙂 If it’s not there, it’s the way it is… 🙂 ---
