Hi All After years of trying to find a good zwave remote control I think I might have hit on a good (crazy) idea. Would this module work behind a light switch if there was no output load to control ? My plan is to use something like this https://www.ukelectricalsupplies.com/retrotouch-07100-simplicity-white-2-gang-retractive-light-switch.htm, so i should get the ability to control four scenes, using s1 and s2 Would I be correct that it will work with out a light to control. Thanks Rob Z-Wave Fibaro Universal Dimmer 2

No that won't work since the Dimmer 2 shouldn't be used without a load connected. It states this in the manual (whether used with or without Neutral).

Plus, in 2-wire mode how would it leak current through the load to power itself, if there was no load connected?

If you have Neutral at the light switch fitting then you can use either a Fibaro Switch 2 or Fibaro Smart Module - both have Central Scene functionality.
