Desired setup: In a hallway I'd like to put up z-wave panels with push buttons of some sort (preferably flush mount). I'd like to have pre-programmed DIM levels assigned to each button: 0 (off), 20 (night light), 50 (normal), 100 (cleaning).
I already have a Fibaro FGD-211 dimmer connected to 13 LED spot lights and a physical momentary switch to control it.
I tried to buy the Z_wave.Me wall controller but can't get it to work with Homeseer at all. Also it's a single button switch so not really optimal. I am just trying out Homeseer now so open to try anything else. Any suggestions to what equipment would work to get the functionality mentioned?
Rgds,

Can z-wave do this?
Re: Can z-wave do this? Yes?
Maybe you can look at http://www.hashop.nl/Webwinkel-Product- ... ensor.html
It has two inputs so you can create two buttons using third party buttons. Using this buttons it seems to be possible to send a dim level to max 5 devices using "associations" you only seem to need HomeSeer for the programming of the associations.
When i reed the manual it states
The Fibaro Sensor allows for control over 5 regular devices and 5
multi-channel devices per group, out of which 1 field is reserved for
the network controller.
Parameter no. 7
Value of the parameter specifying the forced level of dimming /
opening sun blinds when comes “switch on” / ”open” command to
devices from association group no. 1.
In the case of alarm frames the alarm priority is specified.
Default value: 255
Possible parameter settings: (1 – 99) and 255
Value of 255 makes it possible to activate the device when using
the Dimmer module it means activating the device and setting it to
the previous stored condition, e.g. when Dimmer is set to 30%, then
deactivated, and then reactivated using command 255, it will
automatically be set to the previous condition, i.e. 30%.
p.s. I now a co-worker of mine is trying to use a Z-Wave.ME switch to use double click for a special z-wave action. It looks like he had to set parameter no.14 to value 1 to enable the double click function
