Have a look at the Qubino modules as well. Very similar to Fibaro but
apparantly the dimming circuit is better, particulary with LEDs and low

<p>Perfect thanks both, I think the way iâ??ll handle this
is by setting a brief on command at say 0600 at full
brightness so that after that point if anyone uses the
light switch theyâ??ll get full brightness.<br>
<br>
Guess the ideal is to not use hard wired switches i.e.
that someone presses the switch, command goes to Indigo,
it decides what action to take based on time of day etc
and then instructs the light accordingly. Downside of
that obviously is that the lightswitch doesnâ??t work if
Indigo or the mac isnâ??t working for any reason. Not good
for WAF!<br>
<br>
Do such switches exist for zwave? Guess iâ??m thinking
along the lines of the X10 stick a switch that I still
use today for a few things and it works great!<br>
<br>
Cheers both, iâ??m placing my order on Vesternet today for
my first wave goodies! List is the usb interface, a 4 in

2 gang light switch with 1 momentary and one toggle
