Great, If your electrician has never worked with home automation before he can also take a look at some of these links to get an idea with pictures of what some possibilities are. He can take a read on the Fibaro Dimmer 2 manual to start getting a grasp on the some of the actual hardware you will be using. The posts below are a good read if he really wants to get into it
Hi,
Is anyone using this dimmer, mines just arrived today so haven’t had a chance to play with it yet but I’ve noticed it isn’t actually on the supported list (yet the 211 is). I haven’t a clue how you go about adding something which isn’t supported so any advice/guides people can point me at would be fantastic. I’m fully prepared for an evening of swearing at inanimate objects.
Thanks,
Matt
So I’ve taken the plunge on a few systems to help make my home ‘smarter’, the most recent acquisition being the Samsung Smartthings hub with a number of sensors. Great so far, I’m loving the motion sensors and the fact that I can trigger the outlet plug to switch on some lights.
In addition to the Smartthings I purchased the Fibaro FGS-222 Dual Relay Switch to replace the current unit that controls my outdoor lighting. This is controlled via a Timecard SL055 which independently controls two separate runs of LED lights, one with 8 x GU10 5W LED’s and the other 4 of the same bulb types.
I wondered if anyone could provide guidance on exactly how to swap out the Timeguard for the Fibaro. I’m not bothered about retaining the Timeguard and am more than happy to just replace it with a blanking …
