In combination with the matching bypass, LEDs and CFLs with a low power of less than 20 W can also be dimmed. In addition, the Nano Dimmer switches ceiling fans with up to 100 W and controls their speed.
The compact radio module (60% smaller than its predecessor Micro Dimmer) is placed in a wall socket directly behind the conventional switch already located there and transforms standard electrical installations into intelligent Z-Wave-based radio systems. The existing switch no longer switches the consumer directly, but only supplies a control signal to the AEOTEC module, which in turn controls the consumer. This control takes place either via the local switch or via radio.
The AEOTEC module works with any switch series and any design, provided there is sufficient space for installation in the wall box. In large 65 mm deep boxes this should regularly be the case. In smaller boxes (e.g. 45 mm), the possibility of use depends on the required depth of the conventional switch as well as the space requirement of the electrical connectors that may also be located in the box.
