So, after successfully getting my Fibaro 211 Dimmer to work, I got to thinking if I couldn't use either a dimmer or a switch to work for power outlets. I want to be able to turn devices plugged into these outlets on or off through Z-Wave. If it's a lamp, a dimmer would even be possible. Below is how...

I finally got it to work.

Before taking a new picture I decided to reattach all wires and go over the whole set-up once more.
I must have connected something wrong, because now it's working.

Thanks a lot for your help so far, Slarti!

Now, to change parameter 14... I'm not sure how to do that.

I'll try to take a better one tomorrow and post it. Thanks for all the help so far!

Do you mean that, once the module is wired up and the circuit breaker is turned back on, the switch on S1 should work manually? Even if the module is not added to Vera? If so, then no, the Switch does not work manually; it doesn't turn the light on. I tried the include procedure by using the switch ...

Not sure. I can tell you that before I installed the dimmer, the switch sat between the wire coming from the fusebox (Load) and the wire going to the lamp (Neutral). It's a traditional switch that interrupts the connection or re-establishes it. If you look at the attached photo, you can just see the...

Figured out for myself (looking at the schematic) that this wouldn't be correct.
I don't have a neutral wire to try the three wire connection, so that's not an option.

How would I go about that?

I remove the loop between O and N, and add one between L and O?

No, I didn't try that. Would it make a difference?

Hi, I'm very new to the forum and home automation. I ordered a Vera 3 and a few Fibaro FGD211 dimmer modules and tried to get started. Without much success, sadly. Please, if someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Please take a look at how I connected the Fibaro FGD 211. I'm pretty sure...
