Sounds to me like the led driver is not dimmable/compatible, do you have a link to the item specs?

#5

Thanks, I wasnt that bothered about dimming I just want to turn it on and off, its just that I had a spare Fibaro dimmer about, but I wasn’t trying to use the dimmer function just on and off

That model is non dimmable you would need to change the driver to make it dimmable.

#7

ok thanks, any recommendations on a simple on off module that will work with the LED strip light, thanks

Any on/off insert,

Or may be a shelly

Just replace the dimmer insert

ok thanks, so just a normal relay connected to a momentary switch will work like the one I have ordered for my garage door control thank you

Sorry for all the questions “just replace the dimmer insert” you mean the one I have already fitted?

Yes, get another insert, like the garage door one. Then remove the dimmer insert and fit the new one. With the Qubino you can configure what type of switch it works with.

Brilliant, thanks

Ok so I have ordered another Qubino Flush 2 Relay ZMNHBD1
I have taken the switch off the wall and there are only two wires to the switch see below

I have read the manual but it seems unclear as to where I connect the two wires on to the Qubino

ok
the 3 red wires in the blue tape go to L
from the 2 balck wires go to N
Then remove the one black with red sleeve and that goes to L1 on qubino.
Run a new red or brown wire from where you removed black wire with red sleeve, to q1.

you may want to make a small hole in fitting to poke the qubino ariel out of, as it case may cause radio issues being inclosed in metal.
