Multiple lights

Hey all,

In my new kitchen I plan to have 7 rows of lights ; each row independently controlled via indigo and a wall mounted ipad
My plan was to use a fibaro dimmer or similar per row.

Would it be best to wire each lighting row back to one point (say in a cupboard) and have 7 fibaro dimmers there?

Is this the standard way for multiple lighting arrangements ??

Cheers

Sorry you've not had any replies to this thread.

If you're rewiring kitchen from scratch, that sounds a sensible approach.

I kinda did similar, not HA, but for the mains power - we previously had one mains wire to the oven, which I upgraded and repurposed as an additional consumer unit in the back of a high-level cupboard, which then feeds oven, microwave, warming drawer etc.

Make sure you consider heat dissipation when putting the dimmers in a 'box' in the cupboard.

(Actually thinking out loud, there are probably DIN rail dimmers on the market so a consumer unit would actually be a good approach here as well!)

Hey!

Thanks for the info.
Yes; this did seem 'logical' too me. Of course it does mean I'll have maybe 20 fibaro modules all stuck in 1 cupboard!!

Cheers

You could also do the attached. A bunch of Qubino DIN Dimmers. The module at the top left contains 2 x dual Fibaro relays.

That looks great!

Oh it looks good!

I'd not heard of Qubino. Does it all work happy with Indigo?

They dimming function works well - they are all trailing-edge so work well with leds down to 10% without flickering. They can also accept temperature probes but that function won't work until the module profile is added to Indigo.

Cool!. I guess this is what I'm after!

Thanks ! Pretending that it didn't take me long but a lot of work/planning to get it how I want. The trouble is, I won't stop knocking holes in walls until all my lighting is centralised !

Lol!

I understand!. It's all *got* too be right!!!
