What is Z-Wave?

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.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

With the FIBARO Smart Module, you can integrate existing electrical installations (e.g. lighting, airing systems?) into a Z-Wave network. Thus, the connected devices can still be controlled with the existing wall switch, but ? thanks to Z-Wave ? also via remote control, smartphone or sensor-controlled automation.

The compact radio module is placed in a wall box right behind the normal switch. The switch is no longer directly connected to the load but acts as input device for the FIBARO insert that is controlling the load. The switch only sends control signal to the insert which controls the load then again. The solution works with all switch design. You can use a momentary or a toggle switch. It?s recommended to use wall boxes with 65mm depth. But smaller boxes with only 45mm depth can be used also if there is enough space behind the switch. The available space depends on the size of the traditional switch, the dimensions of the wall box and the amount of additional cabling placed in this box.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

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.

Reset to factory default

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. Press and hold the maintenance button to enter the menu.
  2. Release button when the device glows yellow.
  3. Quickly click the button to confirm.
  4. After few seconds the device will be restarted, which is signalled with red LED colour.

Inclusion/Exclusion

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.

Inclusion

Quickly, three times click button connected to S1/S2 or the maintenance button.

Exclusion

Quickly, three times click button connected to S1/S2 or the maintenance button.

Product Usage

Z-Wave range test

The device has a built in Z-Wave network main controller‘s range tester.

Note: To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.

To test the main controller‘s range:

  1. Press and hold the maintenance button to enter the menu.
  2. Release button when the device glows magenta.
  3. Quickly click the button to confirm.
  4. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network‘s range (range signaling modes described below).
  5. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the button briefly.

Z-Wave range tester signaling modes:

  • Visual indicator pulsing green - the device attempts to establish direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device will try to establish a routed communication, through other modules, which will be signaled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
  • Visual indicator glowing green - the device communicates with the main controller directly.
  • Visual indicator pulsing yellow - the device tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
  • Visual indicator glowing yellow - the device communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish direct communication with the main controller, which will be signaled with visual indicator pulsing green.
  • Visual indicator pulsing violet - the device does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If the connection proves successful it will be confirmed with a yellow glow. It‘s not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
  • Visual indicator glowing red - the device is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).
Note: Communication mode of the device may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
  2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
  3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
  4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
  5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association - one device controls an other device

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.

Association Groups:

Group Number Maximum Nodes Description
1 1 Lifeline
2 5 Basic Set Input S1

Configuration Parameters

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.
