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.

NOTE
Opening the casing may result in triggering an alarm. To avoid it, remove the associations for the 3rd group.

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

Notification report:

The device uses Notification Command Class to report different events.

Notification Type Event
Home Security Tampering, product covering removed
Access Control Door/window opened
Access Control Door/window closed
Power Management Replace battery now
Heat Alarm Overheat detected, unknown location
Heat Alarm Underheat detected, unknown location

NOTE
Command Class Basic value is related to the status of contact sensor (0x00 – closed, 0xFF – opened, on default setting of parameter 1. “Door/window  state “).

Association

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 Door/Window Sensor 2 provides the association of three
groups:

  • 1st Association Group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
  • 2nd Association Group – “On/Off” is assigned to the device status – contact sensor (sends Basic Set command frames).
  • 3rd Association Group – “Tamper” is assigned to the TMP switch (sends alarm command frames).

The Door/Window Sensor 2 in 2nd and 3rd group allows to control 5 devices (regular or multichannel) per an association group. “Lifeline” group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.

NOTE
Association allows transfer of control commands between devices without participation of the main controller. Direct range between devices is recommended.

NOTE
“Lifeline“ supported Z-Wave Command Classes: Notification, Battery, Sensor Multilevel, Device Reset Locally.

To add an association (using the Fibaro controller):

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Go to Devices.
  3. Select the appropriate device from the list.
  4. Select the Associations tab.
  5. Define to which group and which devices to associate.
  6. Save the changes.
  7. Wake up the device manually or wait for the next automatic wake up.

Advanced parameters

The Door/Window Sensor 2 allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. Settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box. In order to configure the Door/Window Sensor 2 (using the Home Center controller):

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Go to Devices.
  3. Select the appropriate device from the list.
  4. Select the Parameters tab.
  5. Change values of selected parameters.
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Press the TMP button to wake up the device or wait until the auto- -awaken time has elapsed.

NOTE
Entering invalid value of parameter will result in response with Application Rejected frame and not setting the value.

Wake up interval

Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds (1-18h), 3600s (1h) step) Default setting: 21600 (6h)
The Door/Window Sensor will wake up after each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. After a successful communication attempt, the sensor will update configuration parameters, associations and settings and will go into standby mode.
After failed communication attempt (e.g. lack of Z-Wave range) the device will go into standby mode 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 frame automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually by a clicking one of the TMP buttons (while the other button is pressed).

Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life.
