Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 supported? New type!

Sorry for my vagueness; This was the last reply i got, sent BEFORE november. It was after i got my dimmers back that they themselves updated to 2.4. I gave up hope after that and didn't bother to look for any news on this (and the 2 wire solution was sort of working anyway). But of course i ...

Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 supported? New type!

[forgot the second part of their reply..]
There’s one more method, that none of our agents suggest till now: please try to connect Dimmer 2 with two wires instead of three, that should at least decrease ripple control effect (bulb flicking).

Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 supported? New type!

fwiw. This is part of the response i got from Fibaro Tech support: The situation with Dimmer’s sensitivity for ripple control haven’t change, unfortunately. We aleso haven’t develop any suppressors, in fact it is almost impossible in regard of different frequencies of ripple in given country, some ...

Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 supported? New type!

I was told by Fibaro it isn't possible to update the firmware (at least not through domoticz). As i mentioned before, i did not get better results through a firmware upgrade, but a two-wire installation instead of the recommended 3-wire installation seems to help a lot with ripple-control issues.

One more update on this... I DID see some improvement by connecting the dimmer with 2 wires, instead of the 3 wire connection. Still some flickering, but noticeably better.

Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 supported? New type!

This issue is noted in the changelog for the Dimmer 2 upgrades. Specifically… “Reduction of stroboscopic-effect for dimers af ...

Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 supported? New type!

Hi, for me the problem is not related to the above mentioned 'alarm frame' setting, but to the so called 'ripple control' system used by the electricity distribution network. This system is used to remotely switch on and off all kinds of public services like street lights etc. A good way to check if ...

Re: Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 supported? New type!

Just bought two of these dimmers. It all works as advertised, but every now and then my lights start to flicker in a rhythmic pattern. The strange thing is that both dimmers flicker in perfect sync. It looks as if the dimmers cycle through some sort of program. I made a call to the webshop where i ...
