Whooaw, this must be my first post in this forum - hi guys!
I bought a RaZberry on the CeBIT earlier this month and today I received my first (ehh, 2nd- no, 4th) Z-Wave device, the Fibaro Wall Plug and wrote down my first impression. You can read it here.
Looks & size are very good, that's for sure. And there's more to come, once I can control the Wall Plug from my own system by using the RaZberry API.

Look nice, only the price

Re: Fibaro Wall Plug with RaZberry
You're right, totally forgot about that
Even if this Plug is working fine 110%, I'm sure I won't replace every module I have with this one.
What does it add, that's the question you'll always have to ask yourself. An example of that, what does half a second (or even 10 seconds in this case) of improvement in responsiveness really add to your lighting when all you do is switching lights event-driven based on whether it's dark or light outside? Absolutely nothing. You won't notice the difference.
But I think it's good that they are available and I think they can be a good solution for places where all those other bigger modules won't fit or for those places which are too 'visible'. IMO the size & looks are the 2 the biggest advantages, price is indeed a disadvantage.

Haha Indeed Robert. It's a funky device. I got mine today as well and started doing some testing. Wow it's nice, small and even in powered on mode with the device still switched on it's an ideal nightlamp in the hallway. (bit expensive for that, but it shows it's multifunctional).
Hairdryer: definetly dark orange
Airfryer: a solid yellow at 1500w
Electric Kettle for the wife's tea: solid 2000 with a spike to 3400 at the end.. Wowzers!

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem!

Re: Fibaro Wall Plug with RaZberry
About the fibaro wall plug, can they be "plugged together" (in one socket?). I remember I've read something about that, and it kinda looks like that here.

I haven't done that picture, but check this one I posted on the fibaro forums:xanhoera wrote:About the fibaro wall plug, can they be "plugged together" (in one socket?). I remember I've read something about that, and it kinda looks like that here.

You'll see that it'll easilly fit 2 in a EU socket.
The casing is a Berker M2 (soon to be removed,, finally!)

Re: Fibaro Wall Plug with RaZberry
Waiting for my Fibaro also, Robert beat me to it
Great plug, we saw this one on the Cebit recently
I also have the Razberry Zwave......

Re: Fibaro Wall Plug with RaZberry
I'll just repost them here anyway, might be handy to have a look at the size.
They're expensive, but if you compare the sizes... very very nice.
It's photographed against the Everspring AN-158, which does roughly the same, but in a different size package.

Re: Fibaro Wall Plug with RaZberry
I've received mine today as well. From what I've seen thus far I quite like 'em. I have a couple and can confirm that you can plug two of them side by side in e.g. a powerstrip. The size of these things is great, they're even smaller than I thought they would be.
