Qubino Luxy Smart Switch

Installation via Vera Edge/Plus:

The next controller is the Vera Plus. This controller has a Z-wave chip built in so adding it should not cause too many problems.

The first step is to take power off the existing switch and disconnect it. We then install the smart switch using the supplied schematic. Make sure there is a blue wire, you will need it.

When you have connected everything, log in to the Vera and go to your devices. Then click on "add device" and search for the Luxy smart switch. Unfortunately it was not found but we can add it as "generic Z-wave device". After a few steps, the Vera asks to put the switch in the learning position. You can do this by turning on the power and pressing the right button (3) and then the bottom button (4). The LED will light up white, then press and hold the right button for 4-6 seconds. The LED will now blink green and light up green after 10 seconds.

The Vera also finds it immediately and I see it with my devices. I get an on / off switch to operate the connected lamp. I get another on / off switch to operate the LED. Here I also find a dimmer and the consumption of the connected lamp. I do not get to see the total consumption.

Unfortunately I cannot change the colors of the LED. Qubino indicates that this problem has been solved in the new firmware version of the Vera.

What is also strange is that when I turn off the lamp the LED switch also goes out but the LED just stays on. Even stranger is that if I operate the switch of the lamp via the Luxy smart it then goes out in the Vera and not at the correct switch. Do you still understand him :)

This problem is because the "Lifeline" is not configured properly. Qubino is in contact with Vera about this to resolve this.

Control:

As said before, I cannot change the color of the LED. I see an on/off switch and dimmer for the LED and can turn the relay on/off.

Example scene:

I want when there is movement (and the alarm is on) that the Luxy is switched on.
