The Philips lamps are dimmable and get warmer when dimmed more. I like the idea. With Dimmer 2, however, dimming does not work: the light keeps blinking. Using a bypass doesn’t help. Did anyone get these things to work? - I cannot find tech specs of the lamps. - Fibaro writes that some leds nead ‘leading edge mode’: how do I set that with the Fibaro app in Homey? I experimente in manual setting the minimal dim% en max dim%. I tried max dimming % 99 - 80 in single steps and I tried 70%, 60% 50% 40%. Minimal dimming up to 10%. The leds kept blinking. The LED can be turned on/blinking by pulse-switch and by Homey. But (other than Homey) the pulse-switch does not turn the blinking off. Hope someone knows… ---

Yes. I use a wire from the central point to connect with neutral. ---

I use the Warmglows ([https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01KHIMK2U/](https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01KHIMK2U/) right?) in 4 rooms (fixture with 4 lights in it) and the Dimmer2. No Bypass. Some are connected 1-wire, some 2-wire (don’t know exactly anymore) No problems with them. ---

Are you sure you don’t have Philips SceneSwitch bulbs? Those can be “dimmed” by toggling the wall switch, but (AFAIK) they can’t be dimmed with a dimmer. ---

Hi Pascal, I tried to do that. In the Fibaro app on Homey i can find the specific setting. It sais “uitlezing” (i guess ‘reading’ or something in English. But when I click on it it does nothing. I do not know how to activatie this. ---

Just click on the text and you should be able to force auto-calibration with or without Dimmer bypass. If this doesnt work you can also try and power off the mains for your Dimmer 2 as it will also auto calibrate then… ---

Thanks Jan, But I use the Fibaro app within the Homey, and under ‘advanced settings’ I cannot find settings for “alarm” or “animation”. Is there a way in this app to set parameters, besides from the available options? I suspect that the Fibaro-app in Homey does not use alle possibilities… ---

See the manual at: [https://manuals.fibaro.com/dimmer-2/](https://manuals.fibaro.com/dimmer-2/) all parameters are described there. in this forum there are several descriptions on how to set “Advanced parameters” or raw-parameters. They are settable under Device/Advanced settings/Raw Configuration Parameters. (N.L. Apparaat/Geavanceerde instellingen/Ruwe Configuratie Parameters). Example for a parameter setting (not yours) > I understand that I have to use the raw parameters configuration: 15, 1, 4 > (parameter 15, byte 1, Setting auto OFF 4) > [@Fibaro FGS-223 - Auto-off configuratie - Raw parameters](https://community.homey.app/t/fibaro-fgs-223-auto-off-configuratie-raw-parameters/16398): > > Good afternoon all, I would like to configure an “auto-off after 3 seconds” on a Fibaro FGS-223 module, S2.

Thanks again foor your effort ti help!!! But the next problem occurs. Dimmer 2 does not react to parameters. When I fill in the parameters in “Device/Advanced settings/Raw Configuration Parameters”, there is no button to accept or enter. Only ‘back’ (terug) is available. But 1 screen back the check button remains gray. In the app I see that the dimmer is checked to ‘security mode’ (beveiligd in Dutch). - Could this bet he problem? - If so, how can I get is to non secure mode, now ‘raw configuration parameters’ do not work? ---

If the checkmark is greyed out something is either a wrong value (invalid (characters)), or out of range, the wrong parameter/setting should have a red border around it. ---

Thanks. I don’t think it is out of range: I can see the dimmer witin Homey…. Or do I miss something here? I nowhere see a red border also. I cannot find a spot in the Homey-Fibaro-app where I can see wat parameters are set in my dimmer.
