Solidstate switch

Does anybody knows a Zwave solid state switch ?

Most Fibaro and Qubino work with relais and don't work well when switching (LED) powersupplies that have a high start peak.

I have no issues with relais switches and led drivers. But if you want to use solid state i think you need to use both. Fibaro for switching the solid state relais and the solid state relais for switching the actual load

Thanks Good tip. Affordable too.

I got some high Density LED strips with 600 per meter. Double length. The power per strip is too much for an RGbW Fibaro unit unless I split them up. But then the main power will always be on and although it is a switched power it still draws some power. Might need to check with another less powerful power adapter.

There are special RGB power units which follow the input of an RGB strip to control levels but use an external powersupply for the power.

I think this is a better solution then using a solid state relais
