FIBARO home automation

FIBARO has developed the Dimmer 2 system for control, switching and dimming of lighting in a residential setting. Dimmer 2 is a Z-Wave Plus certified device featuring a specially designed algorithm that allows it to automatically recognise the type of connected light source used and calibrate it accordingly. The lighting controller also acts as a scene manager, allowing for intuitive activation of scenes within a room with the touch of a light switch. This dual capacity allows Dimmer 2 to turn any dimmer switch into a scene trigger without the need for an additional device or smartphone.

With full UL & Dekra Certification and the latest generation Z-Wave Plus certification, the Relay Switch 2 module can be controlled either through the Z-Wave network or a simple switch. The unit’s small size makes it suitable for mounting inside junction boxes or device casings and it is equipped with larger connecting terminals, allowing larger diameter wires to be connected, thereby simplifying installation.

A built-in RGB diode indicates whether Relay Switch 2 has been added or removed from the network, and alerts users as to whether a calibration or an update was successful. It also reveals the signal quality of the Z-Wave network and verifies whether the install location is within range. With a built-in scene activation mechanism, Relay Switch 2 allows for programming different scenes for your connected electrical device of choice.

Connecting a Dimmer 2 to the FIBARO Home Center hub provides power consumption data for either two and three wire connections or any connected electrical device. The power and energy usage measurement feature is aggregated into easy-to-read charts via web dashboard or iPad app and can be utilised to conserve energy. Both the Dimmer 2 and Relay Switch 2 are protected from overheating, overload and voltage drops, and give users warning notifications via the mobile app if these events occur.
