Question
Glenn Broadway 0
I'll try to keep this very brief. House has very low ceilings and every room has 4, 6 or more LED downlights. Hallways have wall lights with LED G9 bulbs. Outside lights are combination of wall lights with standard bulbs, old driveway lights (sodium) and bright lights with compact flourescent. One outbuilding has LED panels.
I'm not desperate for full automation but I do want the ability to turn lights OFF automatically (especially when outbuildings are left on). I would like to also be able to dim the lights if possible. I DO want the wall switches to still work.
I wonder if Fibaro will allow me to do this at the switch with the Dimmer module? The first room I want to try it in has this. 1 x double switch - with the left switch being a reduntant/unused switch and the right being one of two switches which turn on the 6 x Halers H2 Pro LED downlights.(a room with 4 of these downlights has successfully been dimmed using a Varilight dimmer switch). [photo included]
I will of course get an electrician to come and rewire the switch - but I really want to know if the Fibaro product will do what I need? A couple more questions:
The switch back box is 50mm deep - is that enough room?
What do I need in terms of some kind of base station?
If I have a room with dimmers currently and I add Fibaro will I need to replace the dimmer with a switch?
Many thanks! Glenn.
