Anyone tried one?
I am currently wiring my house and we're on the lighting circuits now. As I have a "brown field" site, I can do what I like.
I was looking for a few lights under Z Wave control as an anti burglar measure.
I was also looking for a dimmer module that could a) Accept remote input from secondary switches; b) be trailing edge for LEDs.
The Fibaro Dimmer 2 fits the bill on paper and gives me my remote zwave control as well as what seems to be a competent dimmer module.
I can hard wire the main and secondary switches so it will work as expected even if Z Wave is down (good).
So my questions:
1) Are Fibaro dimmers reliable? I do not want some dodgy bit of junk that goes up in flames in my loft space (these will be mounted in adaptable boxes next to the junction box for the room it is handling).
2) Has anyone tried momentary pull cords as switches with these types of devices? The main push button will be a GET grid module button with gold flashed contacts. But a ceiling pull (actually an MK "disabled alarm" momentary pull) will be used as a secondary switch. It may suffer from more switch bounce than the GET button.
Cheers,
Tim
