I have not had any issues with the Fibaro Roller Shutter 2 but I am having issues getting them since they have been replaced with the Fibaro Roller Shutter 3.

Anyone else used the Fibaro Roller Shutter 3 (Z-Wave Plus)?

Did you have any issues getting it to work on a Hubitat Elevation controller?

Firmware update on the new version of Fibaro shutter 3? Does Hubitat have an official driver for version 3 or are you using the older driver? Try the generic shutter driver in Hubitat with version 3. I use Aeotec gear with no issues.

Do whatever you want to do man.

Maybe I should be using the Qubino Flush shutter Z-wave or Aeotec Shutter since they are both Z-Wave Plus and fully supported by the Hubitat Elevation Controller.

I guess I should of done more research before buying random relays.

I did get the Fibaro shutter 3 firmware updated. Took the z-wave usb dongle from the Hubitat Elevation Controller and plugged it directly into my PC and I could push the firmware update that way, but I have found many people seem to be having issues with the Fibaro shutter 3 even with their own offical controller.

So the Aeotec Shutter was no issues?

No issues with Aeotec. I went Aeotec for all my HA. Mind posting a photo of the wiring coming out and connectors type etc from wall for the blinds?

I will not be back to the house building site until this weekend but will take some photos then.

Might see if I can get my hands on a Qubino Flush shutter and an Aeotec Shutter and try them while I am there.

But I did use this diagram (The location of pin Q1 and L are swapped on the Shutter 3 compared to that diagram)
