Title: Wall dimmers available in EUROPE?
Post by: takisot on November 08, 2014, 10:34:06 am

Hi guys, do you know any wave or zig bee wall dimmers that can be controlled by Almond and can be bought and operate in EU? I need to control my lighting. Also a garage door motor control would be nice.
Thanks!

i have a flush-mount zwave dimmer from zwave.me that works with the almond,

they also have switches and blinds-control but I don't know if they work. The scene controller with batteries at least is not supported (yet),...

Thanks Mike.
Can you point out the exact model you bought that works? Also, a direct link to the site you bought it would be nice.
Finally, what exactly is flush-mount? Is it installed underneath the dimmer switch or is it a complete unit which needs to replace the existing wall dimmer?

Its a unit that replaces your existing switch/dimmer.
The model is ZME_05458 (Busch-Jaeger Z-Wave Inbouw Dimmer Z-Wave.ME)
I purchased it here (http://www.ezhome.nl/zwave/schakelaars-1/inbouw/z-wave-me-z-wave-inbouw-dimmer.html),  but they are commonly available on the web (at least in the netherlands,...)

Just to follow up and say that the dimmers work brilliantly!
Thanks Mike for the suggestion!

Is there any suggestion (for europe) to something like the Fibaro relay switches ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fibaro-FGS-221-Double-Relay-Switch/dp/B0093JR656 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fibaro-FGS-221-Double-Relay-Switch/dp/B0093JR656) ) that are mounted behind the already existent wall switches... (wife doesn't want to have a mix of wall switch designs, so I want to automate the already existing ones)

Hello again.

I am having trouble connecting the Almond+ to the Z-wave dimmers (z-wave.me ZME_05458 )
They used to work fine until one of them died.
I tried to install the replacement by first adding it at almond and then pressing 3 times the button as per the dimmer instructions. It failed, so I removed all sensors from Almond+ hoping that I could do it from scratch for both dimmers.
This time, Almond+ does not seem to find any Z-wave device.
What can I do?

Thanks
