@ezhome: FYI: When light is 100% (so no dimming) the problem isn't there. Duwi responded already?

I've send an e-mail but have no response now, thanks for the extra information.
I'll send the extra info to Duwi and will update you a.s.a.p.

Same problem here in Gouda at (most probably) the same moments...
I'm using Merten Connect 507900 dimmers with Duewi 05443 Z-Wave-Wandsender.
By the way, you can contact Sascha Schulz at Schwaiger. He's a member of the R&D division of the Reitz Group (mother company of Duewi and Popp) and working on the Z-Wave products.

@everyone: do you use any x10 filters? I'm wondering if such a filter (xanura sperfilter for instance) also blocks the problems we have.

The engineer @ Reitz asked me if you can please send me the details about the units what are being switched with this dimmer.

Behind one dimmer: 3x light bulbs
The other one: 8x hologeen 25 watt 230v
So just normal lights (which are most used still today?)

Same nervous lights problem with in-wall dimmers here.
My network contains solely Duwi Z-wave controllers so no interference from other home automation devices on the power line.
There doesn't seem to be a specific period of the day, although I usually don't have my lights turned on during daytime hours. Most events occur between 1800 and 1900.
Dimmers connected to:
- 4x 20W halogen spots
- 4x 10W halogen spots
- 4x 40W regular light bulbs
- 2x 40W regular light bulbs
It looks to me that the halogen spots are mainly affected by this behavior, although it sometimes also affects the regular bulbs.
It probably has nothing to do with it, but I also have a clearly audible high frequency tone coming from some of the dimmers, especially when set to off mode (annoying).
Removed the dimmer in my bedroom because of this.
