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.

Product Description

The FIBARO Intercom is a smart/intelligent, elegant and multifunctional solution for those of you who always want to know who is at the door and what is going on around the house. The device allows you to take calls from the visitors not only when you are at home, but also when you are out. One screen - with an ultra-wide view of 180 degrees - lets you see a detailed preview of all the devices installed in the house and around it.

 The FIBARO Intercom also allows the visitors to leave video messages, when we cannot talk to them - it will be recorded in high, Full HD, resolution, onto a memory card. The device also has night mode, which is activated automatically right after dark and allows you to clearly see, who the unexpected night guests are. 

 The FIBARO Intercom is also infallible if you forget the keys to our apartment. It will allow you to open the door using the app, by bringing the bluetooth-equipped phone closer to the device or by entering a predefined PIN code.

Features:

ATTENTION: Current the configuration of FIBARO Intercom is possible with Apple iOS devices only.

Use Cases

1. There is a possibility to install the device by the entrance and by a gateway, located further away from the house, thanks to the in-built WiFi and LAN communication.

2. There is a possibility to make calls within the local network as well as using the Internet. 

3. There is a possibility to control two gates/gateways separately - both remotely and locally - using the app, by entering the PIN code or bringing a Bluetooth-equipped phone closer to the device. 

4. There is a possibility to connect two physical, external switches to the device in order to control the gate/gateway.

5. There is a possibility to install the device even on a short post thanks to the wide-angle lens (180 degrees horizontally and 120 degrees vertically).

6. The night mode registers video using infrared. 

7. There is a possibility to use a proximity sensor to start recording the video and to activate scenes within the building automation system (e.g. turning the lights on in front of the house). 

8. There is a possibility to integrate the device with the alarm and monitoring systems. 

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.

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.

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
