Beginning in July, a new improved range of Duwi modulas will be available.

Switch
Dimmer
Window Blind control


This Z-Wave.Me switching Flush-Mountable consists of standard DUWI Z-Wave hardware but located with an enhanced Z-Wave.Me firmware.
The pattress box Flush-Mountable of the manufacturer Duwi is intended to control all kinds of electrical loads.
A 230V powered pattress box is needed for installation. The Flush-Mountable has two buttons.
In order to use them for local control the Flush-Mountable needs to be completed with a switching paddle and a mounting frame of one of the Duwi switching series “Everlux” or “Arcada”. The unit is designed for use within a 3-wire system, which means that a neutral wire (blue) is needed for operations.

Compared to the standard Duwi firmware this product offers a series of important enhancements.

Works well within networks controlled by an IP gateway
status changes are reported back to IP gateway in real time
switching paddles can be used to control scenes in gateway
Implements the most recent advancements of Z-Wave technology Explorer Frame for network wide inclusion and automated reconfiguration of networks
Improved routing algorithm for faster communication
Prevention against „Ghost Nodes“ after controller reset
Further enhanced features include

Configurable night light
Three association groups (single click, double click, status change)
Switching paddle can be used for control independently of local operations
Technical data of the hardware:

Power rating: 230V, 50 Hz
Wiring: 3-wire-system
Maximum loads: 2300W
Wireless behaviour: receiver
Z-Wave type: routing slave
Installation: in pattress box
Distance: up to 30 m in buildings

No pictures yet.
I think it will be the same as the current duwi.
Since it will fit with Everlux and Arcade series.

According to the suppliers documentation: en.z-wave.me/sites/default/files/duw_in ... ual2_0.pdf

2-way mode is possible and described on page 6.

Can somebody conform that 2-way mode is possible. This will help me in one specifc situation in my house

I am 100% sure that it is a write foul.
Must be: "7.2 Dimmer in 2-Way mode"

I am a bit lost.... So a single switch is 3 way and a dimmer 2 way ok.

If I understand correctly then a dimmer is used for lightning and a switch for an electric point.

One additional question... I am planning to wire a new part of my house, it will need N/L/S/GR (in the Netherlands blue, brown, black and green-yellow) in every switching box to switch everything using the Duewi devices, the lights will need at least N/L/S (using the switch locally and z-wave; so total 3-wires, for the dimmer it only needs 2 wires L/S ?! ) and the electric points N/L/GR (using the switch locally and Z-wave; so total 3 wires).

BTW....Is it now also possible to have the device remembered the dimmed value so I can use Homeseer to start the event for instance reading with a lot of light and romantic dining with less?

So if I stand correctly in my situation I can also use a dimmer as I will use it for lightning.

The current switch only has blue and black. So if I use a dimmer I don't have the problem of only having two wires instead of 3.

Yep thats correct.
Duwi dimmers only need two wires.

The new switches are on the way.
I will test them this weekend and put a short review online.

Dimmers and the blind controls are delayed (mid july)

I'm curious if the new dimmers have the same problem as the current ones:

So am I, I have this problem as well. I read on the internet that there are filters for these signals that the electricity company sends, but I cannot find out where to buy and if i need a filter for every dimmer.

Ok this clears the wiring...

How about the scenario options?

If I use the current Duwi Dimmer it switches on with the last state where it was turned off. I don't see why the new dimmer wouldn't do this. If you use scenarios in Homeseer you should be able to give in the percentage of light you want in the different scenarios.
