Maybe others can benefit from this as well. For 3 months I have been struggling with the side effects of ripple control signals (in Dutch “toonfrequent”), causing the LEDS on my Fibaro 2 dimmers to brighten at fixed times each night (about 5x each night). It drove me crazy. I finally found out this weekend that there is a setting (parameter 38) that is meant to prevent flickering of LEDs, but causes sudden brightness in 2-wire setups in combination with ripple control.  
Setting this parameter to 0 solved it. (raw configuration: “38,2,0;”).
