Fibaro Controls Lighting With Dimmer 2

The Fibaro home automation system gets lighting control with the Dimmer 2-- a Z-Wave Plus-certified module handling light control, switching and dimming.

Dimmer2The Dimmer 2 uses a specially designed algorithm to automatically recognise the type of connected light source in use, before it calibrates the system to ensure optimum control. The controller also acts as a scene manager, with intuitive scene activation within a room with the touch of a switch.

Thus, the module can turn any dimmer switch into a scene trigger without an additional device or smartphone in the room. Installers can set custom scenes based on situation or time of day through Fibaro or 3rd party Z-Wave hub, such as ensuring the kitchen lights only give a dim glow when turned on during the nights.

The addition of a Dimmer 2 to a Fibaro Home Centre hub also provides customers with insights on power consumption for both two and three wire connections. Energy usage data comes in easy to read charts on the Fibaro web dashboard or iPad apps. Meanwhile safety features protect the Dimmer 2 against overheating, overload and voltage drops, and users get mobile app alerts in case of such events.

The Dimmer 2 ships by end January 2016.
