“I installed this using the generic z-wave relay, and while this allowed HE to control the relay, manual switch operations were not reported back to HE. I tried different device handlers until I found the generic z-wave switch seemed to fully work and have had no issues with the device.”
“As with all the Fibaro devices, this one works as advertised and is easy to use.
There are a couple of errors in the supplied instructions though:
- An "Info WARNING!" states that the Fibaro switch is set to operate with momentary switches by default. This is contradicted by the configuration parameters section which states that the default for param 14 is 1 = toggle switch. My relay (version 2.1) was definitely set to expect a toggle switch by default.
- The relay supports "auto off" which will automatically switch the relay off after a fixed period of time. The instructions suggest that the time should be entered in milliseconds and supports a range of values from 1-65535 which would be 0.001 - 65.535 seconds (just over a minute). My unit is definitely not in milliseconds though and is actually in deciseconds which gives a range of 0.1 - 6553.5 seconds (about 1 hour 49 minutes).
I hope this saves you some head scratching!”
“I have several of these running from a Raspberry PI / Domoticz software controller, and all are reliable. Each device has TWO switch inputs - one switches the internal relay, but the other is intended to send a message to another remote device. As noted by others, these devices need a neutral. I have mine installed inside 26 mm pattress boxes next to the light fittings in the ceiling. The terminals are rather small, so it is prudent to use an external "chocolate block" connector to manage the mains / switch and lam connections using 1.5 or 1.0 sq mm cable as required.
One final warning: the devices present a continuous (small) load across the lighting circuit: this will prevent an electrician from performing a circuit insulation test.”
“Like all Fibaro stuff, it's easy to install and works very well - although it's always a bit annoying that it appears as two devices in Vera.
Remember these are no good for most 2-wire UK light switches. You need access to a proper neutral not just the switched-live wire.”
“Easy to fit ,works great.Instructions inside the box or get help from Vesternet.No hassle.Would be happier if it was a bit smaller or be able to fit in a standard wall plug.”
