Aeotec Nano Dimmer
Why Aeotec Nano Dimmer?
Replacing existing wall switches is not always necessary to add smart lighting control to your home. Aeotec Nano Dimmer installs discreetly behind a compatible wall switch, allowing existing lighting circuits to become part of a Z-Wave smart home system while preserving the appearance of your current switches.
Designed for both new and existing lighting installations, Aeotec Nano Dimmer provides remote on/off control, smooth dimming, scheduling, and automation. Powered by its dedicated Lighting Engine and 32-bit processor, it automatically optimizes dimming performance for compatible bulbs, including dimmable LEDs and CFLs.
