General information about the FIBARO System

FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the Z-Wave protocol. All of the available devices can be controlled through a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Z-Wave devices are not only receivers but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave network’s range. It gives an advantage over traditional wireless systems that require a direct link between transmitter and receiver, as a result, the construction of the building could affect the network’s range negatively.

Every Z-Wave network has its unique identification number (home ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in the building without interfering. The transmission security of the FIBARO System is comparable to wired systems.

Z-Wave technology is the leading solution in smart home automation. There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are mutually compatible, independently of the manufacturer. It gives the system the ability to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit www.fibaro.com.

Operating the device

Operating the Button:

1 click : send action to associated devices (switch on/off by default) and/or trigger a scene
2 clicks : send action to associated devices (switch on maximum level by default) and/or trigger a scene
3 clicks : send action to associated devices (no action by default) and/or trigger a scene
4 clicks : wake the device up and/or trigger a scene
5 clicks : start reset procedure (press and hold for 5s to confirm) and/or trigger a scene 6 or more clicks: learning mode (adding/removing)

Hold: send action to associated devices (start level change up/ down) and/or trigger a scene
Release: send action to associated devices (stop level change) and/or trigger a scene

Waking up the device:
The Button needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the controller, like parameters and associations.
Click the button 4 times to wake it up.

Scene ID:
Every action with the  Button is sent to the main controller with Scene ID equal to 1. The controller recognizes the type of action using the attribute assigned to it.

Action|

Attribute

---|---
1        click| Key Pressed 1 time
2 clicks| Key Pressed 2 times
3 clicks| Key Pressed 3 times
4 clicks| Key Pressed 4 times
5 clicks| Key Pressed 5 times
Hold| Key Held Down
Release| Key Released

Reset procedure of the Button:
Reset procedure allows restoring the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted. In order to reset the device:

1. Click the Button exactly five times.
2. Press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds.

NOTE
If notifications are enabled, each press of the button results in sending a command (notification Type=hOME_SECURITY, Event=Intrusion, Unknown Location).

NOTE
Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use the reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing.

Associations

Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

NOTE
Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without the participation of the main controller and requires the associated device to be in the direct range.

The Button provides the association of four groups:

1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning a single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
3rd association group – “Dimmer” is assigned to holding the button and is used to change the level of associated devices.
4th association group – “Alarm“ is assigned to clicking and/or holding the button (triggers are defined in parameter 30) and is used to send alarm frames to associated devices.

NOTE
The device supports the generic Z-Wave command class “Basic” but will ignore any SET or GET commands and will not respond with a Basic Report.

FIBARO Button in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th group allows controlling 5 regular or multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception of “LifeLine” which is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.
It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

NOTE
Increasing number of associations will increase battery consumption resulting in shorter battery life.

To add an association (using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Click the “Setting Association” button.
4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
5. Save the changes.
6. Wake up the device manually to confirm changes (4 clicks).

Advanced parameters

The Button allows customizing its operation to the user’s needs. The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.

In order to configure the Button (using the hC controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon: 
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Modify values of chosen parameters.
4. Save the changes.
5. Wake up the device manually to confirm changes (4 clicks).

NOTE

A longer wake-up time interval means less frequent communication and thus longer battery life.

Wake up interval
Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds, 1h – 18h)
Default setting: 0
The Button will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller.
After a successful communication attempt, the device will update configuration parameters, associations, and settings and then will go into Z-Wave communication standby. After failed communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device will go into Z-Wave communication standby and retry to establish a connection with the main controller after the next time interval.
Setting the wake-up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notification to the controller automatically. Wake up maybe still performed manually by clicking the button 4 times.

NOTE
Longer wake-up time interval means less frequent communication and thus longer battery life.
