Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.
This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
1) Disconnect the power supply, remove the Dimmer from the wall switch box, than connect the power supply.2) Locate the B-button on the housing.3) Click and hold the B-button to enter the menu mode.4) Release and click the B-button to choose "Device reset" option in the menu that is signalled with the yellow LED indicator colour.5) After few seconds the device will be restarted, which is signalled with the red LED indicator colour and entering the calibration mode. 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.
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: The FIBARO Dimmer 2 is powered with mains voltage so it is always awake.
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.
Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | 1 | Z-Wave Plus Lifeline. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_REPORT; DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_NOTIFICATION; SCENE_ACTIVATION_SET; METER_REPORT; SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_REPORT; NOTIFICATION REPORT. |
2 | 8 | Association Group On/Off (S1) is assigned to key no. 1. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: BASIC_SET. |
3 | 8 | Association Group Dimmer (S1) is assigned to key no. 1. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_SET. |
4 | 8 | Association Group On/Off (S2) is assigned to key no. 2. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated: BASIC_SET. |
5 | 8 | Association Group Dimmer (S2) is assigned to key no. 2. Type of frame sent by the device when the association group is activated:SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_SET. |
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.
IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 ... 255 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256.
