You can find a lot of apps on github (there is a link in the app store for most apps) different channels useally are different branches.  
Link to the [alpha branch repository](https://github.com/athombv/com.fibaro/tree/alpha)

I installed the latest Alpha version and can confirm that now energy reports are send from both channels S1 and S2. Works like a charm

Yes, I still think this is a bug! No solution found for this yet, did you?

It seems that with the latest Fibaro app versions (version 2.1.28 and 2.1.29 [beta] for sure) the values can be entered correct. So for me I am able to enter 38, 2, 255. Bug solved 😉

do you have a 2-wire or 3-wire configuration with these parameters? The flickering driving me nuts, tried 4 different dimmers already, with and without bypass. with the 2-wire config i have always a little flickering. with the 3-wire config i have no flickering between the heavy ripple signals from the power station every 15 minutes.

G’day,

The flickering is not completely solved, but at least I am able to enter parameter 38. This does help for some combinations. I’ve got 20+ Fibaro dimmers. Some with 1, with 2, with 3 or with 4 Philips LED ("warm to dim or something like that).

The strange thing: some combinations with 1 LED do not flicker and som with 4 do flicker… so yes it drives me crazy. But with 4 by-passes it does help. But I am totally in confusion what does cause the flickering as it is not related to the number of LED’s (and thus not related to the power consumed)… what I was expecting.

Grz,  
Erik
