Fibaro and centralized cabling

[Pverga 0]

I am looking into replacing an older home automation system.

The cabling is centralized into a din rail control panel.

The controls are push button and via low voltage (24 volt) cabling.

I see that I can use din rail mounting for fibaro switches and dimmers, but can I control these via the existing low voltage wiring that I have going into my control panel?

It seems to me that as a standard the high voltage L lead is used to control the fibaro switches.

My existing low voltage  control wiring is not suited for that.

Any input or alternative solutions would be welcome and appreciated.

 

Thank you and best regards.

Hei, if the wiring is  run in pipe/ conduit you can rewire from fibaro devices and back to fuse board and out to switches ??

In theory, if your cabling is suitable, you can mount fibaro din rail devices in control panel - power them from fuse board- run supply to lights and wire to switches/sockets etc

 

As you are in doubt about 24 cabling and mains wiring etc , just get an electrician to examine your installation.

Under-dimensioned cabling will burn before fuse trips , no bueno,  especially with proximity to wood or flammable material

or you can use some 24V DIN relays (if u have space in fusebox) to switch high voltage (230V) to keep your existing installation... but still, better is to replace all wirring from switches if u can...

Hi,

 

Thank you for your reactions.

 

The thing is that I can't rewire the low voltage cabling which runs to all my light and other control push button switches. 

And I actually don't feel like replacing all those switches either.

So basically what I'm looking for are din rail mount input modules where I can connect my wired push button switches to (using the existing low voltage cabling).

Those input modules would then control fibaro output modules.

 

I hope this explains it a bit better.

 

Thank you and best regards
