“The switch comes with minimal documentation but there is plenty on this website and on YouTube. With a small amount of preparation to make sure you understand what you're doing, it's less than half an hour of work end to end, even the first time.
While the module works well, one small thing I didn't expect is that it introduces a slight delay between when you press the switch and when the lights turn on or off. It's not at all a big deal but it is something that you'll notice. I have no idea whether this is any different for other modules and it doesn't detract from my satisfaction with the purchase.”
“I am a newcomer to home automation. I bought two of these an a zwave.me usb stick. I have used these with my pc to start my system. These have work flawlessly. One is linked to a photocell and lights. The other one is used a a remote control based on the status of the photocell, so far they have worked without a hiccup. Will be buying more”
“I really like the Z-Wave Fibaro Relay Insert 2 with its dry contact. I bought 2 of them to control my 2 sets of Silent gliss curtain tracks but can be used to control so many other things. I also find that Fibaro relays are the most reliable of all my z-wave stuff and respond every time.”
“I purchased this revised 2-channel relay module as a directly replacement to an existing earlier model, in the hope that I would be able to measure instantaneous power consumption. I have this running with HomeSeer and a remote Z-Net interface.
Although the pairing all worked fine, and I have multiple "child" devices added, I am disappointed that I just cannot get the power reporting functionality to work. As a switch, it's fine, and have no problems with it. But given I actually updated to this device so I could utilise power reporting, I'm somewhat disappointed.
As this stage, I am unsure as to whether this is HomeSeer's inability to support the module, or the module itself. Certainly, the fact that HomeSeer correctly creates 12 child devices for this module, causes me to believe that it might not be HomeSeer at fault, here.
This is the first disappointing module from Fibaro; a great shame.”
“I think these z-wave products have considerable potential, however as an experienced javascript programmer, I find it very frustrating that the javascript host support environment seems to prevent the use of most normal server-side programming functions.
As yet, I haven't found a way of creating even a basic javascript server application to control this or other z-wave products.
If there were a good online z-wave programming course, then I think home automation based on z-wave could have enormous potential. Otherwise, I shall have to look elsewhere.”
