Technical Information

Dictionary

INCLUSION (Adding)
A device sends "Node Info" command frame which allows it to be included into an existing Z-Wave network. The Inclusion process is started by setting the main controller into Learning Mode and pressing the [B-button] 3 times. After the Node Info command frame has been sent, the device waits 5 seconds to receive Z-Wave command frames from the main controller.
EXCLUSION (Removing)
Removing a device from the existing Z-Wave network.
ASSOCIATION
Controlling other devices within the Z-Wave network.
MULTI-CHANNEL ASSOCIATION
Controlling other multi-channel devices within the Z-Wave network.

4. Detection Area and Working Conditions

The Fibaro Motion Sensor's detection area is shown in Diagram 6. The sensor should be installed in a corner of the room or perpendicularly to doors.

Actual range can be influenced by environment conditions. Should false motion alarms be reported, check for moving objects (e.g., trees blowing in the wind, cars passing by, windmills) or moving air/heat masses. If false alarms persist, relocate the device or adjust advanced parameters.

Diagram 5: A diagram illustrating the sensor's detection area within a room, typically shown in a corner.

Diagram 6: A top-down view of the motion detection area, indicating ranges such as 3m, 5m, and 7m.

Eliminating Pet-Triggered False Alarms

Install the sensor 2-3m above the floor, pointed parallel to the floor. If pets trigger false alarms, modify parameters 1 and 3. Parameter 1's value can depend on pet size and environment. Experiment by increasing parameter 1 by 5 at each attempt. If unsuccessful, experiment with parameter 3 (pulse counter) by increasing its value.

5. Installation Notes

Fibaro Motion Sensor cannot be pointed at any source of heat (e.g., radiators, fireplaces, cookers) or direct light (sunlight, lamps). Installation in places prone to drafts is not recommended. The sensor can be mounted using a screw or the included sticker.

6. Resetting the Fibaro Motion Sensor

The Fibaro Motion Sensor reset erases memory, including Z-Wave network and main controller information.

Reset Procedure:

  1. Ensure the battery is in place and functional.
  2. Press and hold the [B-button] for 4-6 seconds until the [LED indicator] glows yellow (signaling menu mode option 2).
  3. Release the [B-button].
  4. Briefly press the [B-button] again.

A successful reset is confirmed by the [LED indicator] changing to red and fading.

ℹ️ NOTE: Device reset does not remove it from the Z-Wave network main controller's memory. However, removing the device from the Z-Wave network will reset the Fibaro Motion Sensor automatically.

7. Operating within the Z-Wave Network

The Fibaro Motion Sensor is a multi-channel device with motion, temperature, and light sensors. In the Home Center 2 menu, it may appear as three separate devices depending on the controller software version.

Motion, temperature, and light intensity values are presented in Home Center 2 menu with the following icons:

ℹ️ NOTE: Fibaro Motion Sensor capabilities may vary depending on the Z-Wave network controller. Some functionalities might not be supported by all controllers. Contact the controller manufacturer to confirm compatibility.

8. Associations

Using associations, the Fibaro Motion Sensor can control other Z-Wave devices (e.g., Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter, RGBW Controller, Wall Plug, or scenes via Home Center 2).

ℹ️ NOTE: Association allows direct communication between Z-Wave devices without the main controller's involvement. This enables communication even if the main controller is damaged.

The sensor supports three association groups:

Each association group can control up to five regular and five multi-channel devices. The 3rd group is recommended for the main controller (e.g., Fibaro Home Center 2).

9. Earthquake Detector Mode

The Fibaro Motion Sensor can function as a simple earthquake detector by setting Parameter 24 to value 4. It sends vibration scale reports (dimensionless) at intervals defined by Parameter 22. The first report is sent immediately after vibrations are detected. The minimum vibration level for a report is set in Parameter 20. Reports stop when vibrations cease.

The Home Center 2 menu presents earthquake detector measurements, showing a graph labeled "Seismograph" with a sample reading of "25%".

10. Sensor's Orientation in Space

The built-in accelerometer can inform the Z-Wave network controller of the sensor's orientation when Parameter 24 is set to 2 or 3.

11. LED Visual Indicators and Settings

The [LED indicator] signals operating modes, alarms, Z-Wave network range, and current temperature.

[LED indicator] Modes:

To enter MENU, press and hold the [B-button] for 3 seconds. MENU levels are signaled by [LED indicator] colors:

12. Z-Wave Range Test

The sensor includes a Z-Wave network range tester. To use it:

  1. Press and hold the [B-button] for 2 to 4 seconds until the [LED indicator] glows violet.
  2. Release the [B-button].
  3. Briefly press the [B-button] again.
  4. The [LED indicator] will show the Z-Wave network range (see signaling modes below).
  5. To exit, briefly press the [B-button].

Z-Wave Range Tester Signaling Modes:

13. Battery Usage Tips

The Fibaro Motion Sensor's battery life is approximately 2 years with factory default settings. The current battery level is displayed in the Home Center 2 interface. A red battery icon indicates replacement is needed.

To avoid tamper detection during battery replacement:

If the battery discharges quickly, check for these conditions:

14. Advanced Configuration

Wake Up Interval

At each wake-up, the sensor communicates with the main controller, updates parameters, and software if needed. Setting Wake Up Interval to 0 cancels the WAKE UP command frame, requiring manual wake-up via the [B-button].

ℹ️ NOTE: Setting Wake Up interval below 10 seconds is not recommended, as it may shorten battery life and delay or prevent reports.
