Review: Turn "dumb" lights into "smart" lights - I wanted smart lighting throughout my house, but didn't want to mess around with smart bulbs which limit your choice of lighting and stop working when somebody turns the switch off. Instead, I fitted these in each lighting circuit to turn "dumb" lights into "smart" lights. The units are very compact, but difficult to squeeze inside most back boxes. In most cases, I fitted them into the hollow wall adjacent to the switch. On one circuit, I fitted it into the ceiling near to the light fitting. They are not difficult to wire up if you have experience with electrics. The terminals are small, but sufficient. These work best with permanent live and neutral supplies. If you don't have neutral to the switch, I believe you can wire the Sx terminal to the neutral terminal. In my case, I wired them up as: - L: Permanent live - N: Neutral - S1: First switch (L1) - S2: Second switch (L1) - Q1: First switched live - Q2: Second switched live I combined these units with momentary switches, which allow me to turn the lights on/off by pressing and releasing. Most importantly, these connect to Smartthings hub, which allows me to control the lights on the app, Alexa, IFTTT and most other services. Connecting these to Smartthings took a few seconds by pressing the switch three times in quick succession. I have created automated routines to turn lights on at sunset and off at 10pm, as well as linking lights together so my Hue lightstrips also turn on at the lightswitch. All of these routines have worked flawlessly. These aren't cheap, but they're worth the money to be able to have smart lighting throughout.
Review: great unit - Takes a bit of skill and time to set up and configure but works reliably with a z-wave system. was bought to replace its predecessor which was z-wave (not z-wave-plus).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work with Amazon Echo (Alexa)?**
A: Not directly but Samsung’s SmartThings does and fibaro works with the SmartThings hub, I have this rugged up myself, and works great!

**Q: whats the difference between this dimmer 2 from fibaro and the previous version? What depth of back box do you need for this to fit in there?**
A: Main differences: Reduction in max. load to 250 W, automatic detection of the type of light load, supports both leading and trailing edge dimming (depending on load type), 500 series chipset, monitoring of power consumption, built-in Z-Wave network range indicator LED. So much improved, but with the penalty of the load reduction. Max height is 20.3 mm. This can be fitted in a 35 mm back box, with care and practice. Sorry none of this information is on the listing, but there is not much marketplace sellers can do--Amazon has tried to "improve" the product page.

**Q: I have some lights that are controlled by two switches, will this one work? do I need two of it or one is enough?**
A: It can under the correct conditions. I just fitted one in the ceiling rose of a two way controlled light. I made the hole that the wires go through slightly bigger and slipped the 223 unit through the hole into the space above. The rose still covers the hole. Electrically the light fitting has no knowledge that there are two switches controlling it. The 223 contains two switches only S1 is needed in this case. If your case is similar then it should work fine.

**Q: What is the z save frequency?**
A: The box with this product for Uk states 868MHz (I believe the actual European specification for Z-Wave Plus is 868.42MHz.
Beware, it is different in North America, so devices are not compatible.
I use this with a Samsung SmartThing hub

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It just works great flexibility
*by G***L on 9 April 2022*

It works great with Hubitat paired first time and works great used to integrate my smoke alarms into my smart home with Hubitat used in HSM with a virtual smoke alarm now I will get alerts to my phone it is goes off if I'm not at home. If I am at home the house goes crazy doors unlock lights turn on and Google starts shouting as well as the obvious fire alarm sound. I then added 5 DS18B20 Temperature sensors which was abit of a struggle as I didn't realise they needed to be added before the device was paired, once I removed and repair they were found. Now I monitor my hot water tank temp and showers, which mean that now my hot water heating is smart and automatically turns on of there's not enough winner all from one device love it. I've just purchased another to work with the smoke alarm in the garage and monitor my solar battery temps
