Switches Q&A

Question 1

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 3

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. Thanks. View answers

Question 4

The manual suggests this unit must be installed behind an Air Break Switch. Is this confirmed? As far as I was aware, air break switches are only used in the distribution network?

Question 8

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)?

Hi, I want to use this to control a security light which doesn't have a switch. But it needs S1 to be toggled 3 times for inclusion. Is there anyway to include without this e.g. button B? View answers

Question 14

Hi all, I have installed a couple of these (fgs223) on a 2 way switch. One is an on off switch and the other is a dimmer. I've put the switches behind the on off switch. That bit works well but now the separate dimmer won't dim it only switches on and off. Any suggestions? View answers

Question 17

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. Does it make any difference to what it can do? I want to use them behind existing light switches to control lighting circuits - does it make any difference which I use? Thanks! View answers

Question 21

Hi - when wired this into a double switch and then included this with a Vera Plus controller there were 3 devices created - the master and 2x appliance modules. In Vera only using the master switch has an affect and it only controls one of the switches. How do I include this so that both switches are controlled? View answer

Question 24

I want to use a Fibaro relay to swicth an immersion heater on and off. The load is switched using a double pole relay. Can I simply connect the Fibaro output across the relay energising contacts, or will you need a resistor in series to reduce the current? View answer

Question 26

Is this device suitable for switching 230V LED lights, or would it be better to use the double relay switch instead? Since it doesn't have dry contacts, I'm wondering if the LEDs may flicker while switched off (as is the case for the dimmer module). View answers
