Dimmer usage

[rwigleven 0]

Hi,

 

My current dimmer is installed on a place i cannot reach easily therefore i like to replace it with a fibaro dimmer. Can i remove the physical dimmer and only use the fibaro dimmer? all drawings i found are based on using the dimmer including physical dimmer or switch.

 

Thanks,

Yes but... You need to know if it is a 2 wire setup or if you have 3 wires ('extra' neutral) in the electrical box. And if you want a physical button you need to use pushbutton(s).

All you need is fibaro dimmer and switch (momentary/push button is best choise). Old dimmer can't be used, there is no reason for that, because fibaro will replace its dimming function.

If you got a 2 wire setup you either need to find an extra neutral maybe in the ceiling box behind the light or use a dimmer bypass.

On fibarouk they have loads of wire diagrams.
