Hi - currently first fixing my refurb project. I've bought a Fibaro HC2 and am planning on controlling all lighting with the Fibaro system (dimmers and switches). Does anyone have any good recommendations for:

1. A multi-button keypad lighting control switch - I want to put this near the main entrance doors and from this be able to switch 6-8 different zones? I've googled but am struggling to find a suitable hard wired (power) switch. It can either be Z-Wave or hardwired into the lighting circuit. Ideally I don't want a battery powered one.

2. White retractive switches (1-gang and 2-gang) for Fibaro dimmers?

Appreciate any suggestions for the above!

I can't help with the multi button keypad, but for your switches, Scolmore Click Mini-Grid come in a selection of finishes, and have suitable switch inserts for use with Fibaro dimmer modules (specifically the MD075 3 way retractive switch).

Rather than 6-8 switches by the front door (I presume to control individual lights), can't you use one switch to trigger scenes, eg 'coming home' and 'leaving home'?

I use home assistant, but I'm sure the Fibaro HC2 will support this in the same way.

The fibaro modules work well with the H2

I have a total of 25 fibaro modules around the house with a Vera edge.

Aeon labs have some good kit as well


For switches, I use these
