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.
Fibaro Wall Plug is a universal, Z-Wave compatible, relay switch in the form of a socket adapter. The Plug may be used to operate any device up to 2,500W power output. The Plug features power consumption measuring and uses a crystal LED ring to visualize the current load by color changing illumination. Fibaro Wall Plug may be operated using the service button located on its casing, or via any Z-Wave compatible controller.
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.
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.
FIBARO Wall Plug 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.
Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range:
Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:
FIBARO Wall Plug is equipped with a colour changing LED ring, signalling operating status and connected devices power. Colours shown are those of a RGB scheme. In addition, the LED ring signals Plugs range in relation to the Z-Wave networks main controller and overheating protection activation
Visual indicator signalling modes:
FIBARO Wall Plug has a MENU with each position indicated by the specified LED ring indicator colour.
In order to enter the menu press the B-button and hold for at least 2 seconds. While the B-button is still pressed, LED ring indicator colour will change in the following sequence:
Release the B-button to choose the desired function and confirm your choice with the B-button click.
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 | 5 | Is assigned to the device status – sending command frames to the associated devices whenever the Wall Plug is turned ON or OFF via B-button. |
2 | 5 | is assigned to the measured active power – sending command frames to the associated devices depending on the measured load (configured via advanced parameters 50, 51 and 52) |
3 | 1 | Reports the device status and allows to assign single device only (the main controller by default). |
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. For example: To set a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
Once activated, Wall Plug will keep a connected device constantly ON, will stop reacting to alarm frames and B-button push.
“Always on” function turns the Plug into a power and energy meter. Also, connected device will not be turned off upon receiving an alarm frame from another Z-Wave device (parameter 35 will be ignored).
In “Always on” mode, connected device may be turned off only after user defined power has been exceeded (parameter 70). In such a case, connected device can be turned on again by pushing the B-button or sending a control frame. By default, overload protection is inactive.

Reports on power load, sent to the main controller. Default settings of below parameters are chosen in such a way that instantaneous power load is shown without blocking the Z-Wave network in the process. Default settings are good for most of the devices. In specific cases it may be necessary to modify default settings in order to optimize Z-Wave network’s use.
Fibaro Wall Plug reports the power load with specified frequency. Below configuration parameters allow to specify how and how frequently power load will be reported.
Parameter defines by how much power load must change, in percents, to be reported to the main controller, with the highest priority in the Z-Wave network. By default, Wall Plug immediately sends power report if the power load changes by 80%. Value of 100 (%) means the reports are turned off.
NOTE: In extreme cases, reports may be sent every second if rapid and significant power load changes occur. Frequent reporting may overload the Z-Wave network so these parameters settings should reflect significant changes in power load only.

This function allows for turning off the controlled device in case of exceeding the defined power. Controlled device will be turned off even if “always on” function is active (parameter 1).
Controlled device can be turned back on via B-button or sending a control frame. By default this function is inactive.
NOTE: This functionality is not an overload safety protection nor a short circuit protection. Circuit needs additional short circuit and overload protection.
Value higher than 32000 (3200W) turns the overload safety switch off, i.e. this functionality is turned off by default. Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 65535
