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.

• First TMP button is located inside the device, pressed by the closed cover and is used to detect openning it.
• Second TMP button is located at bottom of the device, pressed by the surface on which the device is mounted and is used to detect detaching the device.
• For the tamper switch to work one of the buttons must always be pressed!
• When one of the buttons is released, the tamper alarm will be send to the controller and associated devices.
• Additionally, tamper button allows to control the device directly.

Controlling the Door/Window Sensor 2 with FIBARO Home Center controller:

After adding the Sensor to the FIBARO System, it will be represented by two or three icons in Home Center interface.

First icon informs about the status of magnetic sensor (open/close), second icon displays temperature measured by the built-in sensor.
Third icon is assigned to high/low temperature alarm and is visible only if parameter 54 is not equal to 0.

Waking up the Door/Window Sensor 2:

The Door/Window Sensor 2 needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the controller, like parameters and associations.

To wake up the sensor manually, click one of the TMP buttons (while the other button is pressed).

Resetting the Door/Window Sensor 2:

Reset procedure allows to restore 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. Open the cover.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Install the battery while holding both TMP buttons.
4. Visual LED indicator will be flashing slowly for 5 seconds – keep holding the buttons.
5. Release one button when the LED indicator starts flashing quickly.
6. Click released button once to confirm launching of reset procedure.
7. Wait a few seconds until a long blink of the LED indicator. Do not remove the battery.
8. Visual LED indicator will blink 5 times quickly to confirm the reset.

Replacing the battery:

In FIBARO Home Center controller current battery level is displayed in the interface. If a battery icon turns red, it means the battery needs replacement.

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.

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.
