General information about the FIBARO System

• FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the Z-Wave protocol. All of 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 advantage over traditional wireless systems that require direct link between transmitter and receiver, as a result the construction of the building could affect 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. Transmission security of 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 manufacturer. It gives the system the ability to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit www.fibaro.com.

Operating the device

Acoustic and visual indications :
The Swipe is equipped with a buzzer and LED diode, signalling ges-ture 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

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).

Waking up the device:

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.

Reset procedure of the Swipe:

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

1. Make sure the device is powered.
2. Choose 3rd menu position (3 short beeps).
3. After few seconds the device will be restarted. Not being added to the Z-Wave network will be signalized with sequence of 2 short beeps, pause, 1 short beep (RED).

NOTE

Resetting the device is not the recommend-ed 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 pro- cedure of removing described in “Adding the device” on page 8.

Scene ID:
Every basic gesture and sequence has its own Scene ID that is send to the main controller after recognizing it. Scene activation for basic gestures is send after second gesture or timeout.

Sequences of gestures

Sequences:
User can create sequences of two or three gestures to expand num-ber of possible actions. Every sequence is saved in its advanced pa-rameter (no. 31-36) with 16 bits, every basic gesture is identified with 4 bits.

Rules of creating sequences:

• Maximum of six sequences can be created.
• Each sequence must be unique.
• Sequence can consist of two or three basic gestures (left, right, up or down).
• Two identical gestures cannot be used next to each other.

Learning a new sequence:

To perform automatic learning of a sequence:

1. Change value of parameter 30 to number of sequence slot you want to fill (1 to 6).
2. Wake up the device using 1st menu position (see “Operating the device” on page 10)
3. The device will enter learning mode, which is signalled by con-stant beeping.
4. Perform a desired sequence.

Creating and configuring sequences in the Home Center interface:

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon on its bar:
2. Drag and drop two or three gestures to create a desired sequence.
3. Confirm the selection by clicking “Confirm a new sequence”.
4. Wake up the device using 1st menu position (see “Operating the device” on page 10).
5. Click the plus icon (“New Reaction”) next to the newly created se-quence.
6. Select the device you want to control.
7. From the available options select the reaction of the controlled device and complete the setup by clicking “Save”.

Creating and editing sequences manually:
To manually create or edit a sequence slot:

1. Calculate new value of parameter using table and formula:
   Value of parameter = 256 Value of first gesture ++ 16 Value of second gesture + Value of third gesture

2. Change the value of corresponding parameter (parameters 31 to 36 for slots 1 to 6).

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.
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.

Battery powering mode – 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 – 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.

Additional features

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.

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).
The Swipe provides the association of six groups:

• 1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and al-lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
• 2nd association group – “Flick UP” is assigned to moving the hand up over the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
• 3rd association group – “Flick DOWN” is assigned to moving the hand down over the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
• 4th association group – “Flick LEFT” is assigned to moving the hand from the right to the left side of the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
• 5th association group – “Flick RIGHT” is assigned to moving the hand from the left to the right side of the panel (sends Basic Set com-mand frames) .
• 6th association group – “Circular AirWheel” is assigned to circu-lar move of the hand clockwise or counter-clockwise over the panel (sends Switch Multilevel Start/Stop Level Change command frames).

The Swipe in 2nd to 6th group allows to control 5 regular or multichan-nel devices per an association group, with the exception of “LifeLine” that 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.
To add an association (using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
4. Wait for the configuration process to end. Sending relevant infor-mation to devices added to associated groups may take even a few minutes.
5. Wake up the device manually to speed up the configuration process (1st menu position).

Advanced parameters

The Swipe allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The set-tings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.
In order to configure the Swipe (using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.

Wake up interval
Available settings: 0 or 60-64800 (in seconds, 1min – 18h)
Default setting: 21 600 (every 6 hours)
The Swipe will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. After successful communication at-tempt, 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 connection with the main controller after the next time interval.
Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notification to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed man-ually using 1st menu position.
Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life
