Fibaro Swipe interface

Hi all,
I bought a Swipe and just would like to share it works pretty well. It’s a passive photo display that can detect gestures. This way you can configure up to 12 gestures and link them to various actions. Instead of a photo I put the gestures and their actions on it (until we got them all memorized). By linking my mostly used flows I hardly use my phone anymore to trigger them, unless it’s easier than go to the display. The Homey app for Fibaro can be used to configure gesture sequences. Personally I don’t like the rotation gesture as it doesn’t work flawlessly. Straight movements go exceptionally well. Repeating gestures are also a pain in the neck as the hand movement to return for the second gesture too often gets detected. But this is all a matter of trying what works for you, enough gesture combinations are available to find 12 convenient ones.

Thanks for this note. So is it confirmed the Fibaro swipe pad works fine with Homey Pro 2023?

I just installed the Fibaro Swipe.

Im not getting the double gestures to work tho.
Anyone can assit…?

Can you please tell me how you paired it. It has been a struggle for me…thanks in advance!

It’s a struggle indeed. I followed procedure explained by manual but I used mini usb cable and powerbank to start inclusion close to the Homey.

Does it need to be plugged in to pair? And does it take a long time once it recognizes it. Because I had to stop the process twice after a few minutes? Thanks!

Doesn’t need to be plugged in, but I did when i paired it. I think I tried 3 times.

Take it close to you’re Homey.

Hey my friend, what does the circular gestures “KEEP GOING ROUND” and “GOING ROUND STOPPED” as the card that has the scenes mean. I have no idea what that means and the Fibaro website does not help either? Anyway. I know you can set sequences with the movement “#” separated by “;”

Any help would be appreciated!
