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.

Product Description

FIBARO Motion Sensor is a highly advanced ultra-small, battery powered multi- sensor. This device detects movement, measures the current ambient temperature, intensity of the light and thanks to built-in accelerometer detects vibrations. FIBARO Motion Sensor is a completely wireless and mobile device. Depending on user-defined situation in the settings panel it’s eye will shine in different colours, alerting you whenever the temperature and light intensity changes, or when it detects the movement in the room. The battery can last up to 2 years while its level is automatically reported to the central unit. The notification is being sent to the central hub when the battery level approaches to critical.

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.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

1. Make sure the battery works and it’s correctly placed.
2. Press and hold the B-button for 4-6 seconds until the LED glows yellow signaling the 2nd option of the menu mode.
3. Release the B-button.
4. Again, press the B-button briefly. Successful reset will be confirmed with the LED changing colour to red and fading.

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

Basic activation

1. Open the sensor’s casing by turning the cover counter-clockwise. Enclosure lock is marked with a dot.
2. Unlock battery by removing “I’m ready” stripe.

3. Include the device into the Z-Wave network. Note that the inclusion process may be performed ONLY in direct range of the main controller.
4. Install the sensor’s holder in desired location.
5. Insert the Motion Sensor in its holder.
6. Test the sensor’s operation – check whether the LED diode indicates motion detection.
7. Test the Z-Wave network assuring the device is within range.

Detection area and working conditions

FIBARO Motion Sensor has to be installed in a corner of the room or perpendicularly to the doors.

Actual range of the sensor can be influenced by environment conditions. Should false motion alarms be reported, check for any moving objects within the sensor’s detection area, such as trees blowing in the wind, cars passing by, windmills. False motion alarms may be caused by moving masses of air and heat as well. If the device keeps on reporting false alarms, despite eliminating all of the above-mentioned factors, install the device in another place.

Installation notes

FIBARO Motion Sensor cannot be pointed at any source of heat (e.g. radiators, fireplaces, cookers, etc.) or at any source of light (direct sunlight, lamps).

It is not recommended to install the Motion Sensor in places prone to drafts and rooms with rapid fluctuations in air temperature.

Sensor can be mounted using the included screw or the sticker.

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

Quickly, three times press the B-button – LED diode will glow blue to confirm setting into learning mode.

Exclusion

Quickly, three times press the B-button – LED diode will glow blue to confirm setting into learning mode.

Product Usage

Menu

FIBARO Motion Sensor is equipped with the MENU providing direct control over the device.

Press and hold the B-button for at least 3 seconds to enter MENU.

Inside MENU, each of the positions will be signalled with a LED colour:

• VIOLET – Z-Wave network’s range test
• YELLOW – sensor reset

Release the B-button to choose the desired function and confirm your choice with the B-button click.

FIBARO Motion Sensor is equipped with a LED diode, signalling sensor’s operating modes and alarms. In addition the visual indicator may inform of the Z-Wave network range and the current temperature.

Visual indicator signalling modes:

• Motion Alarm’s colour will vary depending on the temperature. The colour and the signalling mode can be set in parameter 80.
• Tamper alarm is signalled with an alternating blinking in red – blue – white.
• The Z-Wave Node Info command frame is signalled with glowing in blue. Node Info command frame is sent each time the device wakes up.

Range test

FIBARO Motion Sensor has a built-in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester.

Note: To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.

Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range :

1. Press and hold the B-button until the visual indicator glows violet.
2. Release the B-button.
3. Press the B-button again, briefly.
4. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signalling modes described below).
5. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button briefly.

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:

Visual indicator pulsing green  – the Motion Sensor attempts to establish a direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
Visual indicator glowing green  – the Motion Sensor communicates with the main controller directly.
Visual indicator pulsing yellow  – the Motion Sensor tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
Visual indicator glowing yellow  – the Motion Sensor communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.
Visual indicator pulsing violet  – the Motion Sensor does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It is not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
Visual indicator glowing red  – the Motion Sensor is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

Note: Communication mode of the Motion Sensor may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

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:

The Motion Sensor will wake up at a defined time interval and will ALWAYS try to communicate with the main controller. There is a possibility to wake up the device manually by clicking the B-button.

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.

Association Groups:

Group NumberMaximum NodesDescription

1| 1| Lifeline – reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
---|---|---
2| 5| Motion – is assigned to the motion sensor – sends motion detection and alarm cancellation frames to the associated devices.
3| 5| Tamper – is assigned to the tamper – sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the associated devices.
4| 5| Motion ZW3 – is assigned to the motion sensor – sends motion detection and alarm cancellation frames to the associated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.
5| 5| Tamper ZW3 – is assigned to the tamper – sends tamper alarm and alarm cancellation frames to the associated devices. Provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+ protocol.

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values too.
