DIMMER - 230 V lighting dimmer
DIMMER is a 230 V lighting dimmer. It works with both classic and LED light sources. A unique feature of the DIMMER FOX dimmer is the ability to configure the minimum and maximum level of light, which allows you to get rid of the flashing effect of LED bulbs at low levels of light intensity. It ensures a smooth transition between the set brightness levels. The time of brightening and dimming is configurable.

Properties
- Brightness control of 230 V light sources, including dimmable LED 1 lighting up to 180 W 2 ;
- Ability to connect a local momentary push button to switch the light on and off (short press) and to control the brightness (long press);
- Setting a given brightness level using the mobile application and programmable timers;
- Built-in clock with power backup and backup copy of the work program guarantees proper operation also without a Wi-Fi connection;
- REST API support enabling integration of the controller also with other home automation systems;
- Built-in thermal protection;
- Convenient installation in an installation box with a diameter of fi 60 mm.
A prerequisite for proper operation is the connect on of dimmable light sources. Make sure that the packaging or instructions for the light source clearly state that the brightness can be adjusted. It is often represented by one of the following symbols:
FOX - Wi-Fi control system
To control devices, the FOX system uses a free mobile application, which is available for devices with iOS and Android systems.
The application allows you to manage the installed modules in a simple and intuitive way. Thanks to the use of the home Wi-Fi network and the F&F cloud, you have the ability to constantly control devices at home from anywhere in the world with Internet access.
If you do not want to control your Fox system from outside your home, you can choose not to use the F&F cloud and still fully enjoy the functional control that works only over your local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network.
Plan activities of the FOX system using online calendars
Use calendars and plan the operation of the module for the time of the day or evening. It depends on you when and what functions will be performed. You can schedule the lighting to be turned on at a given time or to water the garden at different times according to the schedule you set.
Control with your voice using the Google assistant
After a simple configuration, the control of individual devices may be performed by saying the phrase: “Ok Google. Open all blinds. ”,“ Turn on blue light in entertainment room ”, or when you leave the house:“ Ok Google. Turn off all devices. "

Light in and around the house.
Have you ever wondered how important an element of arranging our home or office space is light?It's no longer just about simply turning it on when we enter a dark room. And turning it off when we leave it. When arranging interiors, we illuminate literally everything. We highlight cabinets, paintings, mirrors. We decide on additional lighting for stairs, floors and furniture. We choose cold, warm and colorful lighting. Single points or e.g. LED strips. We focus on safety and comfort every day. On the other hand, well-selected and distributed lighting is an important element of the design of our house, apartment and office.
Lighting control. F&F offer
We control the light not only using standard buttons. Thanks to the development of home automation, we have a wide selection of cameras and devices that do it for us. According to our preferences. Just set and program. Modern controllers will turn the light on and off according to sunrise and sunset. They will work at the hours we set (twilight machines, astronomical clocks). Motion sensors are great for switching on lights. Using the precision of the laser distance sensor and the capabilities of staircase automation, we will build a modern illumination of stair steps. This way we will achieve the effect of a light wave on the stairs. In turn, we regulate the brightness of the light using light dimmers, described below.Home lighting dimmers.
When do we need to not only turn on the light, but also adjust its brightness? When we watch a movie. When we listen to music. When we want to create an intimate, romantic atmosphere. It is also convenient to dim the lighting in places where it is generally needed, but at a given moment its full brightness is not necessary - on stairs, corridors, in children's rooms. However, we cannot do without lighting with maximum brightness when reading or doing work where we need to "see well".Types of lighting dimmers. Are LEDs suitable for dimmers?
When choosing a lighting dimmer, we must be aware of the type of lighting we want to control. Virtually every light dimmer works with regular and halogen bulbs. However, for popular LEDs, you can use an LED lighting dimmer. Provided that the light source controlled by the LED lighting dimmer are dimmable LED bulbs.
How do lighting dimmers work?
Lighting dimmers work:Based on wired communication (230V SCO 813 lighting dimmer)
Using radio communication (F&Wave FW-D1D system radio lighting dimmer. F&Home RADIO rh-D2S2 smart home system controller)
Thanks to the home Wi-Fi network (Wi-Fi lighting dimmer (e.g. Wi-Fi dimmer of the FOX-DIMMER control system)
Light control. We installed a light dimmer and what next?
Depending on the lighting dimmer we choose, we get different tools to control the brightness of the light. We can use:Bell buttons (momentary). Depending on how long you press the button, the light turns on/off or brightens/dims.
Remote controls. The remote control light dimmer can be found in the F&Wave simple radio control system and in the F&Home smart home systems.
Smartphone application. This possibility is created by the F&Home Radio and F&Home smart home systems and the FOX system using a local Wi-Fi network.
