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.

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.Make sure the device is powered.
2.Press and hold the button.
3.Wait for the LED frame to glow yellow (3rd menu position).
4.Release the button.
5.Click the button once to confirm selection.
6.After few seconds the device will restart with factory settings, which is signaled with the red frame color.Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use the reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

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.

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, triple click the button located on the casing.

Exclusion

Quickly, triple click the button located on the casing.

Product Usage

Range test

1. Press and hold the button.
2. Wait for the LED frame to glow violet (2nd menu position).
3. Release the button.
4. Click the button once to confirm selection.
5. Visual indicator will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signaling modes described below).
6. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the button briefly.

Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:

Visual indicator pulsing green – the Wall Plug attempts to establish a 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 signalled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.

Visual indicator glowing green – the Wall Plug communicates with the main controller directly.

Visual indicator pulsing yellow – the Wall Plug tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).

Visual indicator glowing yellow – the Wall Plug communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device will retry to establish a direct communication with the main controller, which will be signalled with visual indicator pulsing green.

Visual indicator pulsing violet – the Wall Plug does communicate at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If 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 Wall Plug is not able to connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

Controlling the Wall Plug using the button

To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not operate the device with wet or moist hands.

Wall Plug is equipped with a button, which allows to use the menu and additionally perform the following actions:

1x click: turn controlled device ON/OFF, confirm selected menu option (if menu is active)
3x click: add/remove the device to/from a Z-Wave network
Hold: enter/navigate through the menu

 

Visual indications

The Wall Plug is equipped with a LED frame, signaling sensor’s operating modes and current active power consumption. In addition the visual indicator may inform of the Z-Wave network range.

 

Visual indicator frame signaling modes:

Active power consumption – by default, when the device is turned ON, the color will vary depending on the current power.
Z-Wave network inclusion status – once plugged into a mains socket the device signals it with blink (green – added, red – not added).
Range of the Z-Wave network – signaled with color depending on type of communication or the lack of it (only in range tester mode)
Menu position – signaled with color assigned to position.
Ongoing software update – signaled with cyan blinking.
Hardware fault state – error in communication with radio chip, device secured, plug the device out and back into the socket.

Menu

Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:
 
Press and hold the button.
 
Wait for the device to indicate desired position with a color:
GREEN – erase energy consumption memory
VIOLET – Z-Wave network’s range test
YELLOW – device reset
Release the button.
Click the button to confirm selection.

Menu is preceded by white flashes of the LED frame - release the button if you want to disable/enable the LED frame.

Disabling visual indicator

Visual indication frame may be turned off for status signaling (turned ON/OFF, power consumption). That means each status change will be signaled by a short white blink of the frame. Disabling it will not change operation of the device. To disable the LED frame:
 
Insert the Wall Plug in a socket.
Press and hold the button for about 3 seconds.
Release the button after LED frame starts pulsing white.

To restore visual indications perform above procedure again.
 
Disabling the LED frame indications will also affect alarm signalization.

 

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

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: FIBARO Wall Plug is powered with mains voltage so it is always awake.

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 reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2 5 On/Off (Button) devices in this group will be switched on or off when relay status is changed using the button (uses Basic command class).
3 5 On/Off (Plug power) devices in this group will be switched on or off depending on the current load of plugged device (uses Basic command class).

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. 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.
