✅ Future-proofBuilt to keep working — even if the maker walks away.
It works locally over Z-Wave, so it keeps running even if FIBARO shuts down the app or the servers. Nothing here ties you to a single company's survival.
Works locally over Z-Wave — keeps running without the maker's cloud
Still in production
Based on how this device connects (local vs. cloud), whether it’s still sold and supported, and its app / subscription. A guide, not a guarantee.

Z-WaveCertified
Remotely controlled light dimming module is designed to work with various types of light sources in 2 or 3-wire connection so it can operate with or without neutral lead. Fibaro Dimmer can switch or dim connected light source either through radio waves or through the wall switch connected directly to it. Dimmer 2 is equipped with a smart algorithm of light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as a switch with non-dimmable light sources in 3-wire connection. Active power and energy consumption allows to monitor and reduce electricity bills. Dimmer 2 is compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus Controller. As a dimmer it operates under the following loads: • 230V operated conventional incandescent and halogen light sources • ELV electronic transformers (12V operated halogen lamps and dimmable LED bulbs) • MLV ferromagnetic transformers with 12V operated halogen lamps • dimmable LED bulbs • dimmable compact fluorescent CFL tube lamps • supported dimmable light sources with minimal power of 5VA (power factor > 0.5) using FIBARO Bypass FGB-002 Without dimming function it may work with: • compact fluorescent lamps • fluorescent tube lamps with electronic ballast • LED bulbs (power factor > 0.7) • supported light sources with minimal power of 5VA (power factor > 0.5) using FIBARO Bypass FGB-002 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K35uFXoa5c0
