Multiple Fibaro inserts in close proximity

[Guest pagewrite]

Hi

I have a reasonably large hall in our house, and I'm wanting to control multiple lighting options from a home-made "control panel" made up of multiple illuminated mono-stable switches mounted on a plate. Because I will need about 6 Fibaro dimmer/relay inserts, I'm intending to stash all of the Fibaro modules together - but remotely - in a ceiling void, and run lower current cabling from here to the control panel.

Does anyone know if there are complications when you mount several Fibaro modules in close proximity to each other? I'm thinking about putting them all in a small polycarbonate enclosure for neatness.

Along a similar line, I believe the current flowing in the S0, S1 and S2 connectors is in the order of 0.2mA. Given such small current flow, is there any danger of having long(ish) switching cables and them causing interference between each other? (I'll probably be using 2 x 6-core cables to carry the 12 cores necessary for 6 Fibaro inserts).

Thanks

Ian

In my live setup I have 4 modules in a small box in a void and they seam happy.

The switching uses traditional wiring though so no comment on second part of question.

The current flow between sx and s1 is 0.2mA but voltage is the same at Live terminal.

I can also vouch for the close proximity not being a problem.

We have replaced a series of X10 modules (at a switchboard) with Fibaro modules no issue. There are 8-10 modules next to eachother.

I have not tried with the low voltage but the standard single core switch wires are in some cases over 15 meters long, but branch off to different areas of the home
