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 Swipe is a revolutionary, battery or Micro USB powered gesture control pad that allows you to control devices through the Z-Wave network. Swipe your hand up, down, left or right in front of the pad, make circular gestures and use sequences of gestures to get full and intuitive control of your smart home.
Installed device perfectly matches your interior design, as it resembles a picture frame. You can even personalize it with your favourite picture. Gesture controlled menu allow to add/remove or reset the device without dismounting it.

The device is equipped with a buzzer that confirms performed gestures and other actions.

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 device is powered.
2. Move and hold your hand close to the center of the pad.
3. Loud sound sequence will confirm entering the menu, keep holding your hand.
4. Wait for the buzzer to indicate the 3rd menu position (3 short beeps)
5. Withdraw the hand and perform swiping up gesture to confirm selection (two beeps will confirm validity).

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

1. Place the Swipe within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.

2. Set the main controller in (security/non-security) add mode (see the controller’s manual).

3. Move and hold your hand close to the centre of the pad.

4. If the device is battery powered, high pitched beep will signal exiting the Standby Mode.

5. Loud sound sequence will confirm entering the menu, keep holding your hand.

6. After hearing two short beeps, withdraw the hand and perform swiping up gesture to confirm selection (two beeps will confirm validity).

7. Wait for the adding process to end.

8. Successful adding will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and 3 short beeps.

Note:” If the device is battery powered, high pitched beep will signalize exiting from the Standby Mode before entering the menu.
Note:” Adding in security mode must be performed up to 2 meters from the controller.
Note:” In case the device is not added, please reset the device and repeat the adding procedure.

Exclusion

7. Wait for the removing process to end.

8. Successful removing will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message and sequence of 2 short beeps, pause, 1 short beep.

Note:” If the device is battery powered, high pitched beep will signalize exiting from the Standby Mode before entering the menu.

Product Usage

Powering modes

There are” two powering modes” of the Swipe. By default, powering mode of the device is updated automatically (in intervals specified in parameter 5) after changing type of supply.

Using batteries other than specified may result in explosion. Dispose of properly, observing environmental protection rules.

The Swipe sends detected gestures to the Z-Wave network immediately, but configuration parameters and associations settings only at wake up (in time intervals or manually),” independently of the powering mode.

”

”

The device does not work as a Z-Wave repeater, even when connected to the external power supply.

Battery powering mode” â€“ by default, the Swipe is supplied with 4 batteries included with the device (type AA 1.5V). They are not rechargeable and should be replaced after wearing out. The device in this mode uses power saving function to preserve battery life.

”

External supply mode” â€“ the Swipe can be supplied with a 5V DC power supply connected to the micro-USB port. In this mode batteries will work as an emergency supply.

Power saving:
When battery powered, the Swipe will enter Standby Mode by default (signalled with a low pitch beep) after 5 seconds of inactivity to reduce the battery usage. In Standby Mode range and frequency of detection are reduced preventing normal gesture detection. Operation of power saving mode can be modified in parameter 6.

In order to exit Standby Mode:

1. Move your hand close to the centre of the pad.
2. Wait for the high pitch beep.
3. Move your hand away from the pad.
4. The device is ready to detect gestures.

Menu

Menu” allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:

1. Move and hold your hand close to the center of the pad.
2. Loud sound sequence will confirm entering the menu, keep holding your hand.
3. Wait for the buzzer to indicate the desired menu position:
   • 1 short beep” (WHITE indicator colour) – wake up the device
   • 2 short beeps” (GREEN indicator colour) – learning mode (adding/removing)
   • 3 short beeps” (YELLOW indicator colour) – the device reset
4. To select current position, withdraw the hand and perform swiping up gesture to confirm selection (two beeps will confirm validity).

”

Note: If the device is battery powered, high pitch beep will signalize exiting from the Standby Mode before entering the menu.
Note: Menu can also be operated using the service button B.

Acoustic and visual indications

The Swipe is equipped with a buzzer and LED diode, signalling gesture detection, menu position and status of the device.

Validity of every detected gesture or sequence is signalled by:

• 2 short beeps” (GREEN) – gesture/sequence is valid
• Intermittent tone” (GREEN) – smooth control using circular” gesture
• 1 long beep” (RED) – gesture/sequence is invalid

Note:Gestures are not indicated by the LED diode by default. In order to enable it, set the value of parameter 3 to 1.

Service button B

The Swipe is equipped with a service B-button, which allows to use the menu. The B-button is located on back of the device and requires dismounting the Swipe from its back case.

In order to operate the menu using the B-button:

1. Make sure the device is powered via micro-USB port.
2. Press and hold the B-button.
3. Loud sound sequence will confirm entering the menu, keep holding your hand.
4. Wait for the buzzer to indicate the desired menu position with short beeps:
   • 1 short beep” (WHITE) – wake up the device
   • 2 short beeps” (GREEN) – learning mode (adding/removing)
   • 3 short beeps” (YELLOW) – the device reset
5. Release the B-button.
6. Click the B-button to confirm selection.

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 Swipe needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the Z-Wave controller, like parameters and associations.
Use” 1st menu position” to wake up the device or click the button on the back of the device once.

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 allowsfor assigning single device only (main controller by default).
---|---|---
2| 5| Flick UP – is assigned to moving the handup over the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
3| 5| Flick DOWN – is assigned to moving thehand down over the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
4| 5| Flick LEFT – is assigned to moving thehand from the right to the left side of the panel (sends Basic Set commandframes).
5| 5| Flick RIGHT – is assigned to moving thehand from the left to the right side of the panel (sends Basic Set commandframes) .
6| 5| Circular AirWheel – is assigned to circularmove of the hand clockwise or counter-clockwise over the panel(sends Switch Multilevel Start/Stop Level Change command frames).

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.
