Question 13

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 16

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.

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 19

Would there be a minimum GU10 number of lights that would not need a Fibaro dimmer 2 ? I have a number of circuits with GU10 lights 6W X 9 in a kitchen and out in a hallway 2 way circuits of 2 each by 2 and a circuit of 4. Would I need a dimmer bypass then for all circuits. View answer

Question 23

Where is the Aeotec bypass? Aeotec's website still says that it will be available "early 2017", and yet here we are here in September and I cannot see much evidence of its availability. Does anyone have any insights into when it will be available? Thanks. View answer

Question 24

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 25

When controlled by the local switch, can the level be controlled e.g. press briefly to turn on/off, press and hold to cycle the brightness? View answer

Question 26

What does the physical switch attached to this device do? does it activate the dimming or does it just enable/disable the whole device? Forgive the naiivety of the question, I'm still a noob at this View answer

Question 33

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 34

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

Question 35

I look at the instruction manual for the wiring diagrams. I have two wires coming from the wall and it has no wall switch. When I moved in, it had a cheap strip light with shaver socket and its own onboard switch. I have removed this old fitting. I am planning to install an LED strip light running off 12V. I wish to use the Fibaro Dimmer 2 with bypass 2. When I look at the wiring diagram for a 2 wire setup, it assumes I will have a Wall Switch. This makes the diagram useless to me. Can anybody help with an adjusted diagram please? View answer

Question 36

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

Question 37

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 38

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 39

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 40

How is this better than the Fibaro Dimmer 2 (which I just bought)? "outperforms all that has come before it" is quite a grand claim - is it just compatible with a broader selection of LED bulbs? View answer
