Question 6

I bought one of these earlier in the year, am hoping to use to add functionality to an automatic gate opener. I've struggled to get it added into Homeseer correctly, only Output 1 has shown up.

Question 7

Hello Could I use this connected to the 12v bell output (I.e. the +and- terminals) in my house intruder alarm to tell my Samsung SmartThings box that the siren is ringing? This would be a remote alert as lightening frazzled the built-in comms dialler! It’s not clear to me from the manual that I could put the 12v through to say “it’s ringing” and “stopped ringing” when it’s 0v. I am also not clear on whether I will be able to configure it with ST (I don’t have the Fibaro control system), or not. Thank you in advance. Neil

Question 8

Managed to put in a workaround but I found with a original style lightbulb it would cut out when I turn the brightness above 60% and then start flashing red. I've updated the config so that max power is 60% as this is just the porch light and I don't really need it that bright in there. But I'm concerned what happens if I purchase more.

Question 10

I bought two of these to replace the previous generation ones. however, I'm unable to control these lights remotely on my Vera unit from other devices. Aeotec 4 button remote. I've seen other people who can't now remotely control these. Any ideas?

Question 11

I have purchased this and it works fine, but I can't find a way to mount it nicely. UK backboxes and the extension plates for them have recessed mounting tabs. The switch can xxxx on to these with no problem, but it is recessed too far for the front cover to be able to clip onto the main switch housing. Please advise.

Question 12

I will be building a new house starting in a few months time and I want to implant temperature sensors in the concrete slab. I have 2 questions; firstly in the manual it says this can be burried concrete with the right protection, what would that protection be please?? Secondly, what would you recommend for protecting the string of temp tensors so they can be safely buried in the concrete and what cable would you connect them with ?? Thanks Chris

Question 13

Question 17

I am using the Fibaro Dimmer 2 to control the main lights in my lounge on S1, and to control the lamps by association in Group 5 which are connected to wall dimmers using S2. I have managed to get it all working, but I would like to connect more than one lamp. I have tried to add a second association but it never seems to stick. I have attempted this with OpenHAB, my main server, and with Domoticz control centre. Can you tell me whether this is possible? From the limited documentation I can find, and my experience with associating other devices, I believe it should be.

Question 18

I am looking for a capacitive mono-stable wall switch to be used with a z-wave dimmer module. I'm struggling to find ones which will work as desired as most will not register a long press/hold – instead, they always accept touch as a momentary on/off. What I would like is for it to mimic a mono-stable switch (bell-push) i.e. touch once for on/off and hold for dim up/down, which I know can be set by the Fibaro parameters – but I can't find a capacitive plate wall plate that does this. Note, ideally I'm looking a double switch.

Question 22

Would this work locally "out of the box" without connecting to a central z-wave controller? I understand remote commands require a controller but would a hardwired momentary switch be able to turn on the load immediately after wiring as well? View answer

Asked 6 ´years ago | Z-Wave Fibaro Double Switch 2

Question 23

Just read the English installation instructions for the Fibaro FGS 223. They state "The device is designed for installation in a wall switch box of depth not less than 600mm." I'm not sure you can get a back box of that depth in the UK. Does this mean we can't use the device in a standard UK box? View answer

Question 25

Hi, I have box with 3 switches controlling 3 lights (one for each). Is it possible to install this module to control one light with S1 and the other 2 lights with S2? the idea is that the controller will open/close the 2 lights together while manually using the physical switches I will still have separate control.

Question 27

I have 18 LEDs at 5w and 0.5 power factor. Would I be able to use the Dimmer 2 if were to use alongside the Bypass 2 or is the wattage too high?

Question 38

I was seriously thinking about buying one of these for a house I am buying off plan but put off by the fact that this cannot be installed in direct sunlight and needs to be protected from rain.

Hi Folks. Is it feasible to use this sensor to control your central heating.
