What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two- way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes
( meshed network ) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the
transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer

Product Description

The Fibaro Door / Window Sensor is a battery powered, Z-Wave compatible reed sensor. It combines the functionality of 3 devices (reed, binary and temperature sensor) in one easy to use product. The sensor can be used for monitoring whether a door, window, window blind or a garage gate is open or closed. In addition, you can integrate any binary output sensor with the Z-Wave network using this sensor, e.g. motion sensors, flood sensors, alarm system sensors, etc.

The product consists of two elements. One of the parts is mounted on the moving part of the window or of the door. The other part is placed on the frame. The device needs to be included into a Z-Wave network by a remote control or any other Z-Wave controller. If an action is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the Z-Wave network main controller.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Safety Warning for Batteries

The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used.
Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.

Installation

The sensor consists of two parts: The sensor main device plus a little magent that is triggering the sensor when closed to the main device. One part of the sensor is mounted on the fixed part of the door or window while the other part is mounted on the moving part in a way, that both devices are adjacent to each other with no more than 5 mm distance between them. The main device can be mounted with double sided tape however for security applications it is strongly recommended to use screws. The holes to screw the device are placed behind the battery. Hence the battery need to be removed for this procedure. The image shows the two buttons “TMP” and “B”, the reed sensor and the contact terminal for external switches and sensors.

The external temperature sensor DS18B20 is connected to the device as shown in this picture. In case the sensor shall only act as temperature sensor it can be placed everywhere and there is no need to place the magnet nearby. Beside to act as temperature sensor the device can also work as simple digial sensor transmitting the status of an externally connected on/off switch. The subsequent image shows how to connect such an external switch to the pins “IN” and “GND”.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

For Inclusion and Exclusion push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted. Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.

Exclusion

For Inclusion and Exclusion push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted. Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.

Product Usage

The sensor reports status changes and – if a external temperature sensor is attached – the temperature using wireless Z-Wave commands. There is no further local interaction needed or possible.

Node Information Frame

The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains
information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and
exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame.
Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node
Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action:

For sending out a node information frame push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted.Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time
to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network.
This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller,
communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly
decreased.

This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup
state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then
empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired
wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by
a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary
configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery
life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform
the following action:

To wake up the device push down the tamper switch (push the device on a table) if the device is not yet mounted. Then hit the little button (B) inside of the enclosure one time.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

• Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network.
  Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.

• Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network.
  Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.

• Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
  a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.

• Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.

• Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.

• Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
  a controlled device.

• Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
  device to announces that is able to communicate.

• Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
  Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
