The Fibaro Z-Wave Dimmer 2 is designed to operate with or without a neutral wire. Nice Dimmer Control is the new version of the Fibaro Dimmer 2. It offers the same core features with improved flexibility and future-proof integration with Nice’s ecosystem.

Nice acquired Fibaro as part of its strategy to expand its smart home product ecosystem globally. While Fibaro’s technology remains trusted and widely used, the rebranding aligns the products under the Nice identity for a unified global presence.

This rebranding includes:

• New product names

• New Nice-branded packaging

  

  Quick Overview

  The Fibaro Z-Wave Dimmer 2 (FGD-212) is the newest version of a popular wireless controller designed to operate behind a wall switch.

  • Control the level of illumination of your light remotely or using a manual button (in two and three-way configurations)
  • Implemented algorithm of smart light source detection
  • Acts as a repeater expanding your Z-Wave network
  • Wide range of compatibility with existing light fittings and does NOT require expensive re-wiring
  • Active power and energy metering functionality
  • Works with various types of manual buttons
  • Active element: semiconductor electronic switch

  Product Details

  The Fibaro Z-Wave Dimmer 2 is designed to operate with or without a neutral wire. It may be used as a switch in systems without a neutral wire.

  In case of a 2-wire connection (no neutral), the Fibaro Z-Wave Dimmer 2  may require a minimum load of 50W depending on the specifics of the connected load.

  When used with a Fibaro Dimmer Bypass 2 it may operate with any compatible (see below) load from 5W. Before committing to buy Fibaro Dimmer Bypass 2 please check if your load can be properly controlled by Fibaro Dimmer 2 without a bypass device.

  Do not connect this device to a power supply without a load. Only lighting devices may be connected to this device.

  As a dimmer, it operates with the following loads:
  

  • 230V operated conventional incandescent (from 50W to 250W)
  • 230V operated halogen (from 50W to 200W)
  • 12 V operated ELV halogen lamps and dimmable LED lamps (with electronic transformers: Trailing and Leading edge type) (from 50W to 200W)
  • 12V operated MLV halogen lamps (with ferromagnetic transformers) (from 50W to 225W)
  • Dimmable CFL tube lamps with electronic ballast only (from 50W to 200W)

  As a switch, it operates with the following loads:
  

  • Compact fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast
  • LED bulbs (power factor >0.7)
  • Fluorescent tube lamps with electronic ballast.

  Please note: For loads other than resistive do not exceed a 1.5A current.

  This product integrates with all Australian-certified (921.42 MHz) Z-Wave and Z-Wave Plus controllers including:

  • Vera Plus/ Edge
  • Fibaro Home Center 2  / Lite

  Please note: Do not mix the load type (e.g. LED and CFL or different types of transformers) as it will impede the proper operation of the dimmer. Doing so will void the dimmer’s warranty.

  Configuring Z-Wave Devices:

  Z-Wave devices often have several configurable parameters that you can change using your Vera’s user interface. These parameters can include things such as the length of time a Z-Wave siren remains active or the type of manual switch connected to a Z-Wave light controller.

  Every available configurable parameter is listed in your device’s user manual. In most cases your device’s default parameters will be suitable to your needs however sometimes it may be necessary to adjust them to optimally use your device. A guide to configuring Z-Wave devices with Vera UI7 is available in the Manuals section.

  This product must be installed by a qualified electrician.
