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.

Sequences
Sequences:
User can create sequences of two to five button to expand number of possible actions. Every sequence sends corresponding Scene ID to the Z-Wave controller with 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:
   Button| | | | | |
   ---|---|---|---|---|---|---
   Value| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6

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 corresponding parameter [2 bytes] (parameters 3 to 8 for slots 1 to 6).
  3. Click and simultaneously to wake up the device.
  4. 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 Command Class. By default scenes are activated after single clicking or pressing and holding any of the buttons and sequences. Other actions can be activated in parameters 21-26. Activating a double click will introduce delay to a single click reaction and activating a triple click will introduce delay to a double click reaction.

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 participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in the di-rectrange.

• States of the association groups are affected only by buttons. Changing state of associated device by other means will not update remembered state of association group.
• 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 association groups use BASIC CC, but device does not respond to GET commands.

The device provides the association of thirteen groups:

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

The KeyFob in 2nd to 13th group allows to control 5 de-vices (regular or multichannel) per an association group. “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 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.  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.

Paired buttons associations
After pairing buttons, horizontal pairs of buttons ( and , and ,  ) work as one button and send associations to left buttons  groups only. Left buttons ( , , ) turn on associated devices and right buttons  ) turn them off.  In multilevel association groups (3, 7, 11) left buttons increase level while holding and right buttons decrease it.
To pair buttons:

1.  Change settings of parameters:
   • and – set parameter 6 to value 1
   •  and – set parameter 7 to value 1
   • and – set parameter 8 to value 1
2. Save the changes.
3. Click and simultaneously to wake up the device.
