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

FIBARO Door/Window Sensor is a wireless, battery powered reed sensor compatible with the Z-Wave Plus standard. Changing the devices status will automatically send signal to the Z-Wave controller and associated devices.
Sensor can be used to trigger scenes and everywhere there is a need for information about opening or closing of doors, windows, garage doors, etc. Opening is detected by separating the sensors body and the magnet.
In addition the FIBARO Door/Window Sensor supports one DS18B20 temperature sensor and has one potential free input. The FIBARO Door / Window Sensor is available in seven colors: white, silver, black, ivory, cappuccino, truffle and dark chocolate.

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. Take off the Sensor”s cover and remove battery.
2. Install the battery while holding both TMP buttons (after mounting the device, one button is constantly pressed by the cover).
3. Release the TMP button within 5 seconds.
4. LED will blink 3 times to confirm launching of reset procedure.
5. Reset procedure may last up to 30 seconds. Do not remove the battery until reset is complete.
6. Reset will be confirmed by the six blinks of the LED.

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

Temperature sensor

The DS18B20 temperature sensor may be installed anywhere where temperature readouts are necessary. If adequately protected, the DS18B20 sensor may be installed in humid conditions, under water, sealed in concrete or placed under the floor. CAUTION Connecting devices and sensors other than DS18B20 is not allowed. !

To activate the device with temperature measurement functionality:

1. Open the cover.
2. Connect the temperature sensor to terminals of the device according to the diagram:
3. Add the device
4. Install the device

Button or external sensor

Door/Window Sensor is equipped with a potential-free input. It allows to change device state using the external button or sensor through GND signal.

If the Door/Window Sensor will be used only as a binary sensor, do not install the magnet. To activate the device as a binary sensor:

1. Open the cover.
2. Connect the button or external sensor to terminals of the device according to diagram:
3. Add the device if the device is not already added.
4. In case of connecting external sensor modify advanced parameter no. 20 to match type of the sensor, then remove and re-add the device to the network.
5. Install the device.

To install the Door/Window Sensor:

1. Stick the included self-adhesive pads to the bottom of the device and magnet.
2. Peel off the protective layer of the sticker.
3. Stick the device onto the door/window frame.
4. Stick the magnet onto the moving part of the door/window, no further than 5mm from the sensor.

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, triple click the TMP button located on the bottom of the casing.

Exclusion

Quickly, triple click the TMP button.

Product Usage

Tamper (TMP) button: The Door/Window Sensor is equipped with a tamper switch with two buttons.
First TMP button is located inside the device, pressed by the closed cover. Second TMP button is located at bottom of the device, pressed by the surface on which the device is mounted.
For the tamper switch to work one of the buttons must always be pressed!
When one of the buttons is released, the tamper alarm will be send to the controller and associated devices. Additionally, tamper button allows to control the device directly.

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:

FIBARO Door/Window Sensor will wake up at a defined time interval and will ALWAYS try to communicate with the main controller. Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up Notification frame automatically. There is a possibility to wake up the device manually by a single TMP button click.

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| Z-Wave Plus Lifeline reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default)
---|---|---
2| 5| Control is assigned to the device status – reed sensor and IN input (sends Basic Set command frames)
3| 5| Alarm is assigned to the device status – reed sensor and IN input (sends alarm command frames). Its value may be modified via advanced parameters.
4| 5| Sensor ZW3 is assigned to the device status – reed sensor and IN input (sends Basic Set command frames). This group provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+
5| 5| Tamper ZW3 is assigned to the TMP switch (sends alarm command frames). This group provides backward compatibility with controllers not supporting Z-Wave+.

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.
