FIBARO Double Switch 2, Z-Wave Smart Remote for 2 Devices, FGS-223, Doesn't Work with HomeKit

This small relay it’s solid. I have more than 3 installed in my house and works perfectly. The size is perfect and easy to install. I used with a Fibaro Hub and homebridge.

I installed it--as in I got it installed to the switch. That part wasn't hard.However, I have no idea how the device would fit in *any* 2-gang switch box (let alone a single). It just ends up being too much stuff crammed into a too little box. There's no way it would've fit behind the switches had I even tried.I can't say if it works or not. It needs its own hub, which is a stupid flaw of so many smart devices nowadays. It works with Smartthings, as in the hub works with Smartthings.

I bought two of these to retrofit some light switches. Requires a neutral wire (the white wire in the US, typically) since the device will draw electricity even when the switch is off. If your electrical box doesn't have a neutral wire, you can't use this. I used a community-coded Device Type Handler for the Samsung SmartThings Hub (look for DTH and SmartApps by user @erocm123) which worked great. Wiring is tricky but there are some decent european videos (with different wire coloring) and good diagrams for how to make this work. If you have a 2-switch single gang box (2 switches, stacked vertically, it will be a very tight fit or may not fit at all). The plastic case is a little flimsy and some of the cosmetic parts near the screw terminals snapped off during installation (so minus 1 star for that), but the device itself is well-designed and so far works great! *Be sure you know what you're doing in the electrical box, as you can injure yourself or start an electrical fire. Turn off the breaker. Buy one of those non-contact voltage testers and/or a multimeter and learn how to use those first before you attempt to install this. Be safe out there!There are other Z-wave double switches out there. In my research, this is the 2nd smallest and the only one that supports the newer Z-Wave Plus protocol, so IMO it was worth the extra $10 per switch.

REVISED REVIEW 7-24-2023- (WORKS PERFECTLY WITH HOMEY PRO!!) As other reviews state, this should come with wires, it doesn't. The biggest problem I have with the 2 switch version I have is that it's NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINK OR WINK 2. Wink only sees 1 (Master) switch, It doesn't see switch # 2 (Second Channel)

Can i change what i bought? Fibaro US to fibaro EU because this fibaro US cannot function in Indonesia

This was a total bust for me. The item was just too big for my standard US double switch electrical box with four 12-gauge Romex cables, a GE Z-wave wall switch and controlled by a standard US double switch. It would not synchronize with my Lowes Iris hub. The Youtube installation video was for a European style wall switch and enclosure. The Fibaro would respond to one of the two manual double switches but in reverse, meaning that when the switch was off, the light was on and vice versa. The Fibaro would not respond to the other switch at all.I've not been able to find a single switch-box sized double z-wave controller for my ceiling fan and light which is why I bothered with this Fibaro unit. Ultimately, I removed the double switchbox and wired in a triple switchbox with three separate GE z-wave wall switches. Naturally, the one controlling the ceiling fan died after about two weeks. Sheesh! Another home project gone bad.

Need to study deeper why 2 out of 3 failed to work properly.....

Awesome switch! I purchased 5 of another brand with 2 of those I had to return. I spent the extra money after 2 returns and I am glad I did. The quality on these are superior.I agree with other poster, packaging needs jumpers for installation.
