IBoost and dimmer flicker

i recently had a solar installation by TP Solar and a fine Jin they have done too as the price included iBoost and Geo solar monitor with internet bridge.
This made me think about home automation which I have installed on some of the light switches and it all works very nicely.
I have found that some of the dimmers flicker badly if iBoost is working. This seems strange since I understand that iBoost is in essence time slicing the output but this is clearly feeding back to the mains. IBoost is definitely the culprit. If I switch it off then no flicker.
Anyone else have the same?
Solutions?

All i can say is i have noticed buzzing when the iBoost is working.
Annoyingly it makes my computer buzz too.
There was a good reason for this but i can't remember it
