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, smartphone or tablet. Z-Wave devices aren’t only receivers, but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave network 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 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 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

  • being inactive for time set with parameter 2 (60 seconds by default)
  • pressing and holding the selected button (if set in parameter 2).

To enable Lock Mode:

  • set sequence in parameter 1
  • set time and/or locking button in parameter 2 (60 seconds by default)
  • set PROTECTION Command Class to Local Protection by Sequence (done automatically by Home Center controller).

Lock Mode will be disabled when:

  • parameter 1 and/or parameter 2 is set to 0
  • PROTECTION Command Class is set to Unprotected.

When device is locked:

  • pushing buttons don’t activate any actions
  • menu is available, but without option of resetting the device.

Setting the unlocking sequence and locking time-out using Home Center configuration interface:

  1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
  2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
  3. Click the “Configure” button in “Lock Mode” section.
  4. Select sequence of 2 to 5 buttons, click “Next”.
  5. Select time to lock and lock button, click “Next”.
  6. Click and simultaneously to wake up the device.
  7. Wait for the device to configure.

Setting the unlocking sequence using advanced parameter:

  1.  Calculate value of parameter using table and formula:

    • Value of parameter = Value of first button +
      + 8 Value of second button + 64 Value of third button + + 512

      • Value of fourth button + 4096 * Value of fifth button
  2.  Change the value of parameter 1 [2 bytes] to calculated value

  3. Click and simultaneously to wake up the device. Wait for the device to be configured.

Setting time to lock and locking button using advanced parameters:

  1. Calculate value of parameter using table and formula:
    Time to lock should be 0 or 5-255 (seconds)
    Value of parameter = Time to lock in seconds + + 256 * Value of locking button

  2. Change the value of parameter 2 [2 bytes] to calculated value.

  3. Click and simultaneously to wake up the device.

  4. Wait for the device to configure.

Sequences

Sequences :
User can create sequences of two to five button to expand number of possible actions. Every sequence sends the corresponding Scene ID to the Z-Wave controller with the attribute “Key pressed 1 time” (see “Scene activation” on page 11).
Sequences are saved in advanced parameters (no. 3-8).
Activating sequence introduces delay in single, double and triple click actions for first button in the sequence.

Rules of creating sequences:

  • Maximum of six sequences can be created.
  • Each sequence must be unique.
  • Sequence can consist of two to five button pushes.
  • Sequence can contain multiple clicks of the same button.

Setting a new sequence using advanced parameter:

  1.  Calculate value of parameter using table and formula:
  2. Value of parameter = Value of first button +
  3. + 8 Value of second button + 64 Value of third button +
  4. + 512 Value of fourth button + 4096 Value of fifth button
  5.  Change the value of corresponding parameter [2 bytes] (parameters to 8 for slots 1 to 6).
  6. Click simultaneously to wake up the device.
  7. Wait for the device to configure.

Activating scenes

Activating scenes:
The KeyFob can activate scenes in the Z-Wave controller by sending scene ID and attribute of a specific action using Central Scene Com-mand Class.
By default scenes are activated after single clicking or pressing and holding any of the buttons and sequences. Other actions can be activated with parameters 21-26.
Activating a double click introduces delay to a single click reaction and activating a triple click introduces delay to a double click reaction.

Scene IDs of buttons:

Attributes of actions:

Action Attribute
Button clicked once Key pressed 1 time
Button clicked twice Key pressed 2 times
Button clicked thrice Key pressed 3 times
Button held Key Held Down
Button released Key Released
Sequence performed Key pressed 1 time

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

NOTE
Battery life depends on frequency of usage, number of associations/scenes, Z-Wave routing and network load.

Battery

The KeyFob can be powered with a CR2450 (included) battery. Estimated battery life with device added once, default settings, direct range and maximum 5 pushes per day is 2 years.

Checking battery level:
KeyFob automatically warns about low battery with 3 magenta blinks.

Replacing the battery:

  1. Using included keyring or a coin, open the battery cover by turning it counter-clockwise.
  2. Replace the battery.
  3. Using included keyring or a coin, close the battery cover by turning it clockwise.

 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 device provides the association of thirteen groups

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 device provides the association of thirteen groups:

  1. The 1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
  2. The 2nd association group – “Square – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
  3. The 3rd association group – “Square – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
  4. The 4th association group – “Circle – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
  5. The 5th association group – “Circle – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
  6. The 6th association group – “Cross – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
  7. The 7th association group – “Cross – Multilevel” is ass Δ igned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
  8. The 8th association group – “Triangle – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the Δ button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
  9. The 9th association group – “Triangle – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
  10. The 10th association group – “Minus – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
  11. The 11th association group – “Minus – Multilevel” is assigned to click-ing and holding the + button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
  12. The 12th association group – “Plus – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
  13. The 13th association group – “Plus – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.

NOTE Association ensures direct contact transcends between devices, is performed without the participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in the direct range.
NOTE States of the associa- tion groups are affected only by buttons. Changing state of associated device by other means will not update remembered state of the association group. Li
NOTE 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 as-association groups use BASIC CC, but device does not repond to GET commands.

The KeyFob in the 2nd to 13th group enables you to control 5 devices (regular or multichannel) per association group. The “LifeLine” group 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 can 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. Click the “Setting Association” button.
  4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
  5. Save the changes.
  6. Click and simultaneously to wake up the device.
