they are all well supported in Domoticz... I have few Fibaro and Aeotec relays and I can tell you I do prefer Aeotec than Fibaro: the manual switches use dry contact than neutral wire... but this is my personal opinion that does not affect at all the operation of those devices ;)

well... it depends on what you need/want from that device:

I'm using it for the reading lights on my bed... one is for me, the other for my wife (FGS-222)
we both have the related button on our side

it works like it is supposed to do!

It has algo grouping capabilities (it means that by pressing a button you can activate other devices) this has to be configured in the OZWCP...
I'm not using it, but could give a try.

Peronally I do not understand the "partially supported" issue :P

P.S.
it could be that it has a scenray activation feature that... yes... it could be not very well supported my domoticz, but you can create scenaries in Domoticz indeed
