I have constant trouble with the battery devices from both Merten and Duewi (Duewi is a German brand less expensive than Mertens but with a good quality level and diversity of units). I am trying to achieve a very simple set up as follows:
I have a dimmer (Fex Duewi 05433) that is mounted close the door (retrofit into original lightswitch box) and does the direct dimming-on/off of the lights in the room. From another location in the room I want to be able to control the lights (dim - on/off). For this I want to use a Wireless Wall Transmitter (Duewi 05443 battery powered) set up to control the dimmer through a simple direct association. Further the room must be included in the main ZWave network of the house that is controlled by HSPro through a AEON stick interface.
THIS I AM NOT ABLE TO SET UP.
I have tried the following:
I have earlier done something of the same with Merten devices (according to the write up from http://www.smarthus.info/support/dow...Merten_bpd.pdf). The problem with that set up is that the dim function of the radio button stops working (as described in the writeup). This is not acceptable as an important functionality of the button disappears.
The documentation form Merten is very limited and off little help. The documentation from Duewi seems extensive but is very confusing and difficult to understand.
IF I JUST LET THE DIMMER AND THE BATTERY DEVICE WORK TOGETHER AND NOT INCLUDE THE DIMMER IN HSPRO IT WORKS JUST FINE.
Anyone have any idea on how to solve this?

I have tried the following:
- First Include the Dimmer into the main network in the normal way by using the AEON stick and then import into HSPRO.. This works ok. Then i try to directly set up an association between the battery device and the dimmer.. After the dimmer has been included in the network by the primary controller this is not possible to do ( I can not find a clear description on how to do this in the Duewi documentation).
- Tried to include the battery device as a secondary controller in HSPRO. Both with the Aeon stick in the actual room or through the Add Node function in HSPRO. None works (the diodes on the battery device shows that the inclusion was achieved but HSPRO are not able to communicate with it properly and then reports the inclusion to fail) and i think this is due to what is described in this thread
- I also have a Home Pro Remote ZTH-200. I have tried using this for forcing a association between the dimmer and the battery device but it does not work
