[Solved] KlikAanKlikUit / KAKU AWMD-250 dimmer

---

I have connected my dimmer via homeduino. I’m able to dim, but the only real difference is between 0% and 5%, the rest is just slightly higher than the previous one. I also created a separate on-/off-switch, while the on-switch puts it back to the previous dim-level, like it should, the off-switch just puts it to a low light, not really off. Off and 0% give the same level of light. Here’s the code:

{
  "id": "dimmer",
  "name": "Dimmer",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFDimmer",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "dimmer1",
      "options": {
        "id": 14,
        "unit": 19
      },
      "send": true,
      "receive": true
    }
  ]
},
{
  "id": "switchnew",
  "name": "Swatch",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch1",
      "options": {
        "id": 14,
        "unit": 19
      },
      "send": true,
      "receive": true
    }
  ]
}

Also, I’m trying to make a buttonsdevice instead of the on-/off-switch. While the on-switch works, the off-switch doesn’t do anything. This is the debug-info of the on-/off-switch:

debug [pimatic-homeduino]: Sending Protocol: switch1 id: 14 unit: 19 all: false state: false Pin: 4 Repeats: 7
debug [pimatic-homeduino]: Sending Protocol: switch1 id: 14 unit: 19 all: false state: true Pin: 4 Repeats: 7

I think I need to put something in config.json so that ‘all’ keeps the value ‘false’, but how do I do that? Possibly, when I have the buttonsdevice working, I can configure the dimmer properly and the rest of the problems will sort themselves out.

I have alse AWMD dimmer with pimatic and it works fine.
I made a button device (aan/uit) and when you press button aan it goes on and when you press again it will go to dim and when you press again it will stop dimming. But you have to make 2 rules.
If AAN is pressed then turn LAMP EETTAFEL on.
if UIT is pressed then turn LAMP EETTAFEL off.
Here is my config

  {
      "id": "dimmer1",
      "name": "LAMP EETTAFEL",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFDimmer",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "dimmer1",
          "options": {
            "id": 14,
            "unit": 16
          },
          "send": true,
          "receive": true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "rfswitch1",
      "name": "LAMP EETTAFEL",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "switch1",
          "options": {
            "id": 14,
            "unit": 16
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "allonoff1",
      "name": "LAMP EETTAFEL",
      "class": "ButtonsDevice",
      "buttons": [
        {
          "id": "eettafelaan",
          "text": "LICHT AAN"
        },
        {
          "id": "eettafeluit",
          "text": "LICHT UIT"
        }
      ]
    },

@ghv I just came back from buying a new bulb, now everything is fine:) The old bulb was dimmable according to the package, but in practice it seemed there was something wrong with the dimming-aspect. So I bought a new one, now the bulb at least gives logical feedback to my input, so it was pretty obvious what I needed to change to make everything work. Thanks anyway!
