Summary

The Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2 is a compact insert module that allows wireless control and dimming of all types of light sources

It automatically selects the most suitable dimming type based on the bulb used and measures power consumption for energy monitoring

Compatible with both 2 and 3 wire systems, this Z-Wave Plus certified dimmer offers increased range and can be easily retrofitted into existing light switches within a multi-protocol smart home hub.

Every house can be equipped with intelligent lighting. Pick your favorite style of switch and install the Dimmer 2 in the electrical box. No need to change any wiring so you can even install it yourself or with the help of a professional FIBARO installer. Watch the install video. See the installation diagram.

Fibaro Dimmer 2

The Next Step To True Intelligence

Fibaro Z-Wave Dimmer insert module retrofits into an existing light switch enabling you to wirelessly control lights. The new Dimmer 2 is a true universal dimmer - automatically selects the most suitable dimming type (trailing-edge or leading-edge) based on the bulb type used. It measures the power being used and reports that to the Z-Wave system and it is fully Z-Wave Plus certified - offering increased range, extended battery life and Over The Air upgrading (OTA).

Intelligent Light Recognition

Using the unique, specially designed algorithm, Dimmer 2 recognizes the type of a connected light source and calibrates itself to set proper values. Now you can be sure that lights in your home are controlled in the optimal way.

Fibaro Dimmer 2

Compatible With Both 2 and 3 Wire Systems

The Dimmer 2 is designed in such a way that it can be used in both 2 and 3 wire electrical systems. It may be used as a switch with non-dimmable light sources (in 3-wire connection) so you can use it in older electrical systems as well.

Also, the Dimmer 2 incorporates a number of security features protecting the device from overheating, overload and voltage drop. Should any of these happen, you will be notified immediately.

Fibaro Dimmer 2

Power Metering

The new Dimmer 2 features power metering functionality. You can view the energy consumption of your home in clear charts and graphs, and use it to reduce your monthly bills.

More Convenient Connectors

The Dimmer 2 is equipped with large connecting terminals which simplify the installation process. You can connect it to wires of a larger diameter and make the installation faster.

Fibaro Dimmer 2

Scene Management

Dimmer 2 offers an extremely intuitive scene management. The device will turn one of the light switch buttons into a scene trigger. Activating a selected scene becomes as simple as turning the light on. Just press the button while entering the room!

Fibaro Dimmer 2

User-Friendly Configuration Menu

The built-in RGB diode is a perfect source of information during the installation process. It will show you when the Dimmer 2 has been included to or excluded from the network. You will see whether the calibration or software update have successfully completed. You can also check the Z-Wave network range.

Fibaro Dimmer 2

Fibaro Dimmer 2 (FGD212) Main Features:

Works with incandescent bulbs, 230V halogen, 12V halogen and dimmable LEDs
Detects the bulb type and adapts the dimming behaviour:
- Trailing-edge dimming - incandescent and halogen bulbs (resistive)
- Trailing-edge dimming - LEDs and other resistive-capacitive bulbs
- Leading-edge dimming - transformers and other resistive-inductive loads
On/Off mode - supports non-dimmable loads (3-wire installation)
Monitors and reports power - instantaneous (W) and accumulated power (KWh)
Auto-off Timer - turns lights off after programmed time period
Maximum load 250W (resistive), 225VA (resistive-inductive) and 200VA (resistive-capacitive)
Supports 2-wire (no neutral) and 3-wire installations - further information is in our 2-wire/3-wire guide
Second switch input for controlling additional associated devices or 2-way installations
Various switch types - momentary (default), toggle, 1-way and 2-way
May require Fibaro Dimmer Bypass 2 for loads less than 50W. Only use Dimmer Bypass 2 (FGB-002) - do not use the old FGB-001 Bypass as this will cause damage to Dimmer 2!

Having bought the original Fibaro Z-Wave dimmer, the mk 2 version is a good upgrade, which supports dimming of LED lights much better than the original.

Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

The device size is very compact and easy to place where needed. The installation instructions are very clear and the device is clearly labeled. Integration with Fibaro Home Center is a breeze and setup of custom functions is very easy through the Home Center interface. I've been using Fibaro devices for several years now and haven't had any issues. The only complaint I have is regarding Fibaro's support of their Home Center 3, which seems to be drawing to a close. I highly recommend other Fibaro devices.

Easy to use. Great benefit is that it does not require a neutral. Be sure to order the dimmer bypass if you are going to use LED fittings or else the fittings remain on at a very low level

Absolutely love these. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Have 19 of these installed so far in my house. Many of which have been running for over 5 years. No issues at all with any of them so far. Still have more to but when I can afford it.

Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

Easy to install and set up (and doesn't need a neutral wire). I have replaced my previous generation (FGD-211) dimmers with these as going from incandescent to LED meant that the lights weren't drawing enough power and they flickered. The FGD-212s solved this and I have found no need to use a bypass yet. Lots more features than the FGD-211, although I don't really use these.

Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

I have about 7 of these, and on the plus side, they’ve been extremely reliable. Not had one fail in about 5 years. The frustration for me is the closed-off nature of the support/firmware update procedure. I don’t think I should have to buy a fibaro hub, unpair my devices, pair to the hub, update them, unpair again, and pair back to my system. For that reason, I regret buying fibaro kit

Works as billed. Don't be fooled by the name, there is only 1 switched circuit. Lots of competition in this space so buy what works for you. Double tap to full brightness is good, not blown any up yet.

Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

I've set one of these up with a 2-wire installation, and found it ideal when combined with a 3-position switch (look them up - usually, they can only really be bought in the UK as grid/modular switches, but very inexpensive). It specifically has a setting for use with 3-pos switches, and works great with them, though this might not be possible depending on your exact setup (e.g. if you have multiple switches for the same light, depending on the wiring). I've had no problems with this product, and have bought a second one for a different light.

Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

The second generation is a marked improvement, detection of surges, autoconfiguration of LED (or other) type, loads of configuration parameters if you really need them, but by and large really reliable, and great if you have 3-way retractive switches ("up / down clickers").

Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

Probably the most resilient of my Z-Wave devices from a user experience perspective, I have several Dimmer 2 + Bypass 2 circuits controlled via an AEON Labs Z-Stick and Home Assistant and I am about to install more. I particularly like the load type sensing and the second physical switch terminal which presents as a separate virtual switch to Z-Wave.
