i am planning to replace my X10 dimmers for z-wave type's
But what are good z-wave dimmers, that not wil blink (flikkering) at certain times.
Any idea's ???????

None of my Z-Wave dimmers have ever flickered. Maybe things work different i Denmark?

I have buzzing dimmers, and once in a while I have to dim up, because my Innovus Smartdimmers refuse to turn on. But thats all the trouble I have had in 3 years.

May be it's a tipical dutch problem.
The powercompany send many signals over the powergrid and many dimmermodule's react on this.

I have also no problems with zwave dimmers.
I have testes lot of zwave dimmers no of them ever show blinking. (Duwi, Act)
I know that Alexander posted some post about this topic.

Yep, still got the issues. Ezhome still has not send me a solution about the Duwi dimmers.
Enver/mhn, do you use filters? Like X10?

No filters.

Maybe worth to mention. I don't own a Duwi dimmer. I have tested them without flickering, but i only own switch and remote from Duwi.

I think it depends on your region and enery net provider. Almost all the lights in my home are connected trough Düwi dim modules, and I don't have this issue at all. And the lights are always in a somewhat dimmed state...

Well, I'll capture the situation tonight on video. See for yourself.

Alexander,
Is the blinking at all the dimming levels?
Are all the dimmers doing this?

I don't think that the energy provider is the couse.
In The Netherlands there are no high fluctuation.

I don't think the software can be the problem...but let also check this.
Software version of the dimmers that i use:
2.51 (ZDK Version 5.02 Patch 1) App: 1.0

The problem is not related to zwave dimmers but most of the time with the 12 volt power supply's.

Last week we did a large installation with a lot of domotica (zwave) dimmers on / off switches and led lights.
( the customers has also a lot of ceiling 12 volt halogen light)

some of the halogen light are buzzing very loud around , some are flickering , some are going on of at all time.

Next week we will do some test with the different setup's to find out the solution.
The electrician we work together , is familiar with those problems and may have a solution. ( properly some osram power supply's)

Will keep you informed when we have found the solution.

I use 220 volt halogen and regular bulbs above my dining table, same result.
