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 aect network’s range
negatively.

3

Every Z-Wave network has its unique identication 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:

#1: Description and features

FIBARO Button is a compact, battery-powered, Z-Wave Plus

compatible device. It allows you to control devices through the
Z-Wave network and run various scenes dened in FIBARO System.

Dierent actions may be triggered with one to ve clicks or by holding
the button down. In panic mode, each press of the button results in
triggering of the emergency scene.

With its small design and wireless communication, the FIBARO Button
can be conveniently mounted on any surface and in any position or
location at home, e.g. beside the bed or under the desk.

#5: Associations

NOTE

i

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 di­rect range.

NOTE

i

Increasing number
of associations will
increase battery con­sumption resulting in
shorter battery life.

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 Button provides the association of four groups:

1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and al-

lows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).

2nd association group – “On/O” is assigned to clicking the button
and is used to turn on/o associated devices.

3rd association group – “Dimmer” is assigned to holding the but­ton and is used to change level of associated devices.

4th association group – “Alarm“ is assigned to clicking and/or hold­ing the button (triggers are dened in parameter 30) and is used to
send alarm frames to associated devices.

FIBARO Button in 2nd, 3rd and 4th group allows to control 5 regular
or multichannel 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 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. Wake up the device manually to conrm changes (4 clicks).

ASSOCIATIONS

#6: Advanced parameters

The Button allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The set­tings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may
be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.

In order to congure the Button (using the HC controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:

2. Select the „Advanced” tab.

3. Modify values of chosen parameters.

4. Save the changes.

5. Wake up the device manually to conrm changes (4 clicks).

9

Wake up interval

Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds, 1h - 18h)

Default setting: 0

The Button will wake up at each dened time interval and always try to
connect with the main controller. After successful communication at­tempt, the device will update conguration 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 notication
to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed man­ually by clicking the Button 4 times.

1. Scenes sent to the controller

This parameter determines which actions result in sending scene IDs
and attributes assigned to them.

Available settings: 1 - Key Pressed 1 time

2 - Key Pressed 2 times

NOTE

i

Longer wake up time
interval means less
