Switches Q&A

Question 1

Hi, I was wondering if this would work with Economy 7 electricity, meaning does it have an internal battery to keep it on and connected to the network when economy 7 isn't active? I'm wondering if it is possible to make economy 7 storage heaters smarter. Thanks. View answer

Question 8

Have these yet been proven to work with Vera Edge or Vera Plus? I have installed one and whilst, after hours working on-line (computer and telephone) with a Micaverde technician (or two), the binary function works, we can get no sensible response from the 2 x DS18B20 connected. View answer

Question 9

On Fibaro's website for this product it shows it being able to be installed in audio equipment but there are no references to that type of setup in the manual or instructions. Has anyone tried to use the implant in any appliance to make it smart? If so I assume the compatibility will be based on the appliance and the internal wiring if it can be done. View answer

Question 10

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. Have any Homeseer users had any success getting both outputs to add correctly? If so, any tips? View answer

Question 11

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 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

Does this support pulse counting at hardware level ? I'm looking for something to interface to water flow meters with a pulsed output. It would obviously need to store number of pulses received over a certain time period.

Hi, I've recently purchased one of these devices and installed it on my veraplus. Its created the 'Double Switch 2', Q1 Load, and Q2 Load.

Question 18

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

Question 19

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 21

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 26

I'm trying to use this switch to control load by both S1 and S2 (connected to separate switch), but it my case switch connected into S2 has no impact on the load. I had no problem with achieving the same effect with Everspring module AN179, but somehow it does not work with Fibaro. Have anyone has achieved such configuration (controlling load by both S1 & S2)?

What's the difference between this model (FIBEFGS-223) and the FIBEFGS-222? One is described as a switch and the other as a relay, but otherwise seem identical.
