💡 Shelly Qubino Wave Dimmer – The Ultimate Smart Z-Wave Dimmer Module with Colossal Range

The Shelly Qubino Wave Dimmer is an ultra-modern, flush-mounted smart dimmer designed for precise, smooth, and absolutely reliable brightness control of the dimmable lighting in your smart home. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or traveling on the other side of the globe, you can effortlessly adjust the brightness of your lights using your smartphone, tablet, or PC.

The device operates as a premium trailing edge dimmer, perfectly suited for the safe and flicker-free control of modern LED bulbs. An exceptional advantage of this module is its enormous installation flexibility—it works flawlessly with a neutral wire, but performs just as brilliantly without one (making it a perfect retrofit solution for older electrical wiring). Furthermore, the device is powered by the latest Z-Wave 800 Series radio chipset, guaranteeing rock-solid stability, lightning-fast response times, and uncompromising cyber security.

Being one of the very first products globally to feature support for Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR), it boasts an incredible wireless communication reach of up to 1 km in open space when paired with a compatible gateway.

Main Features and Key Benefits

• 💡 High-Load Dimming up to 200 W: Tailored for dimmable LED bulbs (typically 50W – 200W) or for traditional incandescent/halogen bulbs with a resistive load (up to 200W).
• 🌐 Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) Support: Delivers an unparalleled signal range of up to 80m indoors through walls, or a massive 1000m outdoors (direct line of sight to the hub's ZWLR antenna). In this mode, the module operates independently on 864 MHz in a star-topology network without using signal repeaters.
• ⚡ Integrated Energy Metering (PM): When the module is installed with a neutral wire, it allows for highly precise power monitoring in Watts, actively logging your consumed electricity. Please note that if installed without a neutral wire (neutral-free), physics dictates that the power metering function must be disabled.
• 🛡️ Comprehensive Hardware Protection: Built-in, highly sensitive sensors offer automatic protection against dangerous internal overheating, electrical circuit overloads, and harsh power grid overvoltage.
• 📶 Dual Frequencies for Local Z-Wave Networks: The module supports broadcasting in the 864 MHz band (exclusively for ZWLR) as well as the standard 868.4 MHz band (the classic Z-Wave Plus Mesh network mode, where the module actively acts as a signal repeater to strengthen the network, offering a ~40m range).
• 🔋 Extremely Low Standby Consumption: When idle, the module draws an almost negligible <0.3 W of power, ensuring zero impact on your monthly utility bills.
• 🧠 The Latest Chipset: Built upon the Z-Wave S800 platform. This guarantees top-tier compatibility with leading smart control units such as Home Assistant, Fibaro, Hubitat, or SmartThings.
• 🔄 Automatic SmartStart Inclusion: For rapid integration into your secure Z-Wave network, simply scan the included DSK/QR code with your smart home app.

Why Choose the Shelly Wave Dimmer?

Smart dimming, anywhere, anytime—the Shelly Wave Dimmer grants you the smoothest lighting control perfectly matched to your lifestyle. Set an initial brightness via your gateway's app or by using your physical wall switch (it supports single toggles, dual switches, and momentary push-buttons). Customize your lighting via a smart "night mode"—if motion is detected after 10:00 PM, the lights will gently fade on to a soft 15% brightness, ensuring you aren't blinded during a late-night trip to the bathroom. Experience gorgeous ambiance, massive comfort, and peak energy savings with every flick of the switch.

Advanced Z-Wave Smart Home Features

• 🔐 Military-Grade Security: Network inclusion utilizes the Security 2 (S2 Authenticated) protocol with AES128 encryption, entirely eliminating the risk of unauthorized wireless attacks.
• 🔄 Local Scenes (Direct Associations): The dimmer can communicate directly and wirelessly with other Z-Wave sensors in your home network. For instance, if your central server crashes or the Wi-Fi drops out, a hallway light linked directly to a Z-Wave motion sensor will still reliably turn on.
• 🌙 Sophisticated Calibration: To ensure the perfect LED dimming experience, you can perform manual calibration to set the minimum and maximum brightness thresholds. This prevents annoying LED flickering at low voltages. For flawless operation of ultra-low wattage LED bulbs (under 5W) in a neutral-free setup, adding an external bypass accessory is highly recommended (not included).

📝 Important Note: For correct configuration, secure pairing, and remote mobile usage of this module, your own certified and compatible Z-Wave gateway (Smart Hub / Coordinator) is strictly required. Naturally, the gateway itself is not included in the package. The module does not feature Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. Furthermore, to enjoy the gigantic Long Range (ZWLR) distance, the chipset inside your Z-Wave gateway must natively support this specific technology and frequency. Otherwise, the module will seamlessly default to operating on your classic wireless Z-Wave Mesh network.
