What's the difference between this model (FIBEFGS-223) and the FIBEFGS-222? One is described as a switch and the other as a relay, but otherwise seem identical. Does it make any difference to what it can do? I want to use them behind existing light switches to control lighting circuits - does it make any difference which I use? Thanks!

The FGS212 (single Channel) and FGS222 have dry-contacts:

The newer GEN5 relays named Fibaro Switch do not have dry-contacts but instead have power metering capabilities:

Thanks for the reply. Does it make one more suitable than the other for different scenarios, or is as simple as one is an updated version of the other with power metering built in? Thanks!

It really depends if you *need* dry-contact relays. For something like a garage gate control, motors or switching 12/24VDC you will *need* a dry-contact relay for example.
