Can anyone please share the best looking 1, 2 and 3 gang switches that have found that work with Fiabro dimmer modules?

Amilanov, what do you mean with "gang" switches?

Do you mean the buttons on the wall?

if so, I'm going to test the FGD211 dimmer in the upcoming week, or two (pending delivery) in combination with a JUNG 532-EU which will be covered by a JUNG LS990 series cover. It's not a rotary button, but it'll be a flat flipper. It'll be a press once to turn on at preset or off, press'n hold for dim up or down.

    yes, exactly what I am looking for but I need a solution for 1, 2 and 3 gang dimmers. I tried GIRA as well but and it looks like they only have 1 and 3 gang retractive switches. If all else fails I will have to live with this, but I was hoping that someone had found something that looks great (like the Jung switches) that covers all three types.... anyone?

    ok, with the 4 gang switch, do you need them to be in 1 socket like the socket above, or can you live with 4 sockets along side eachother?

    Or if it's in 1 socket position like above:

    in all cases i mean a single switch that is either 1, 2 or 3 gang. sorry for the typo there I have corrected the post to say 3 gang not 4!

    For the 2 gang I am looking for something similar to the image that you added to your post, although I can't find that exact face plate on the Jung website. Also, I'm trying to get a white glass frame and white insert or, if that fails, something that looks like real aluminium for the entire switch.

    That the fun (and a bit expensive) part of JUNG. The flippers are sold seperately, but they come from the JUNG LS990 line.

    looks promising however I do not see a 3 gang option. i guess you have to buy two separate switches for that???

    i contacted Jung in UK and and getting samples sent out. Love your work "jrkalf"!

    I've spent ages trying to get good looking switches and thus far have failed.

    Did you have any luck getting the Jung switches to work with Fibaro?

    I've just received my Jung 535-5U 2-gang impulse switch. It works nicely with the Fibaro FGS-221 device.

    The 532-EU is currently in back-order and I'm awaiting that one to couple to the FGD211 dimmer.

    buy any 2 gang switches you like and add springs at the back of paddles. Most of switches come with special place for springs out of the factory as they are the actually the same as the ones that come with springs.

    i did this to all my schnider switches...

    Clever! Pity I've already ordered my Jung switches.

    Can anyone help?

    I received my Jung switches today, connected one and the following now happens:

    Double click - if light is off, it comes on to the last dim setting

    Double click - if light is on, it turns the light off

    Single click - dims up (if last dim was down) + second single click stops it from dimming up

    Single click - if dimmed up last then dims down + second single click stops it from dimming down

    I would have expected this functionality:

    Single click - if light is off, it comes on to the last dim setting

    Double click - turns the light on to 100%

    Single click - if light is on, it turns the light off

    Click and hold - dims down (if dimmed up last time) + take finger off to stop dimming down

    Click and hold - dims up (if dimmed down last time) + take finger off to stop dimming up

    I can't believe after the GIRA switches I can not get the Jung one's to work!

    I just noticed that I have different switches:

    I guess this could be why yours works and mine doesn't!

    I guess I'll have to order a 535-U5...

    When you say you got it to work does it work as I expected it to work or as my 505tu actually worked??

    Small update, Yesterday I got my dimmer switch.

    The 532-EU didn't get delivered, it's replaced by the 533-2U.

    It's a single switch

    Press once, on. Press once again, off.

    Press once = on, Press & hold = dim down, press & hold again = Dim up. Press once, off.

    Does the trick for me. I'm happy.
