Question 26

Hi All After years of trying to find a good zwave remote control I think I might have hit on a good (crazy) idea. Would this module work behind a light switch if there was no output load to control ? My plan is to use something like this https://www.ukelectricalsupplies.com/retrotouch-07100-simplicity-white-2-gang-retractive-light-switch.htm, so i should get the ability to control four scenes, using s1 and s2 Would I be correct that it will work with out a light to control. Thanks Rob View answer

Question 27

I can see the 2 and 3 way wiring diagrams without a neutral. Do you have a 2 and 3 way wiring diagram with a neutral? Thanks. View answer

Asked 5 ´years ago | Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

Question 28

We are rewiring the house and as part of this will have a neutral at each switch. Two questions I have are 1) for loads less than 50W is a bypass still required even in a 3 wire setup? 2) is there a cheaper alternative to the fibaro which still offers smooth LED dimming? Thanks. View answer

Question 29

How do you set this to simple on/off rather than dimming. I want to use it in the UK with 2 wire circuit, toggle on off switch connected to S1 and non dimmable CFL or LED bulbs View answer

Question 31

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 32

Hi. Can I use 3 x 7W led bulbs and 1 x 3W led bulb on the same circuit? Or do all the bulbs need to be the same wattage? Thanks View answer

Question 33

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 34

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 36

Hi. How do you set the parameters for the dimmer 2 with tellstick sent Fibaro Dimmer 2 Parameter Setting: The following parameters need to be set: 20 - 1 - enables the dimmer to work with a toggle switch (default is 0 for a momentary switch) 26 - 1 - enables the dimmers S2 switch to also control the dimmer (default 0) Thanks

Question 37

Hi, I can’t see the option to force a set brightness level in Domoticz when switched on, can you please tell me how I change this setting as the default is to switch on at last light level. Thanks, Steve View answers

Question 38

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? Based on the technical resources I think it would overload it but I have seen some responses to questions saying this number of bulbs should be fine. View answer

Asked 7 ´years ago | Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

Question 39

Has anyone tried this with the Fibaro dimmer 1? I have a few of the dimmers and have been holding off upgrading to LEDs as you can't get hold of the bypass.

Question 40

I am currently using these with 240v halogen bulbs and wanted to switch to LED. In some places it will be 3 wired and in others I will add a bypass unit. Is there any particular brands of dimmable 240v LED bulbs that people have had success or problems with? Or am I pretty safe just going with shop own brand? They would be either E27 golfball bulbs or gu10 spots View answer

Question 41

If you were using 3-position (on/off/on) switches would you need 3core+ earth cable running between all switches in a 2-way or multi-way lighting circuit? or could this be achieved with 2 core+earth cable between switches? thanks View answer

Question 42

if You use the Dimmer 2 with toggle switches in a 3-way lighting circuit, would you be able to use all 2-way switches or would you still need to use a intermediate switch in the circuit? View answer

Asked 7 ´years ago | Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

Question 43

When using the Dimmer 2 in a 2-way or multi-way circuit, do the momentary (bell-push) switches need to be 2-way switches or will 1-way switches work? (as the wiring is simplified when using momentary switches). Such as the Varilight 2-Gang 6A 1-Way Push-to-Make Momentary Switch? Thanks View answer

Question 49

How many 240V GU10 Led Bulbs (Dimmable ones) can the FD2 support? I have 3 light fittings for outside my house that house 2 GU10 240 Bulbs or GU10 240V Dimmable Bulbs. I am going to use the LED Dimmable bulbs which on the box say "Use only 7 watts per bulb". So a total of 6 bulbs in 3 light housings. I'm going to wire them back to a junction box in parellel (not serial) and into then into the FB2 but was worried that 6 bulbs of this type (or even 10) would fry it? I have the original Fibaro Bypass Module also (FGB001) which I bought a few years ago but never used, could I use this if I need it? The LED 240v GU10 bulbs are "dimmable" Thanks! Andy View answers
