I started the discussion on the Fibaro forum and they have replied (see link below). Seems to me their argument is sound and depends on what mode you run your primary controller. Maybe you can join the conversation too in reply to their response and my original question. That said it seems to me that Cytech need to suppory secure mode asap if this UCM is to keep up.

With reference to your link, this is my view on the reply. 

Even if dimmer 2 can "re-included in HC2 and this time do not use secure mode", it will make not much difference.  The dimmer 2 firmware is programmed to do Basic command class (and some others) transmissions in secure mode only.  Maybe someone can try out to see if this is true.

Also need to point out one more issue.  Although dimmer 2 can control other devices in non-secure mode via association, other devices (such as their own dimmer v1) cannot control dimmer 2 via association.  This is because other devices (dimmer v1) do not support secure command class.  It is only 1 way control.
