FIBARO System Devices

Wall Plug

The FIBARO Wall Plug with power metering feature is an intelligent, ultimate plug & play, extremely compact, remotely controlled outlet adapter. This highly functional wall plug can be applied wherever you want to control electrical devices (max permissible load 2.5kW), while monitoring power consumption in a convenient and maintenance-free way.

Icons representing: [projector icon], [coffee cup icon], [television icon], [iron icon], [lamp icon].

Door/Window Sensor

This is a compact sensor used for monitoring the status of doors, windows, garage gates, and such. The sensor is available in seven color versions to match your interior design. The Door/Window Sensor is best used to control lights and as a component of access control and security systems.

Instruction: Perform [3x clicks].

Icons representing: [door icon], [window icon], [roof window icon], [garage door icon], [gate icon].

Smoke Sensor

The sensor immediately detects smoke or high temperature and warns about discovered threats with sound and LED illumination. The sensor can be battery operated or hard wired (12 or 24 VDC) and can be integrated with almost any wired alarm system. A built-in "black-box" allows the device to report and record smoke and temperature readouts. Additional device features include automatic, wireless software updates, and Z-Wave network range detection.

Instruction: Perform [3x clicks].

Icons representing: [RGB LED icon], [temperature sensor icon], [sensitiveness icon], [black box icon].

Motion Sensor

The Motion Sensor is a miniature, advanced multi-sensor detecting motion, temperature level, light intensity, changes in device position, and earthquakes. The sensor design was inspired by the cat's eye, thus it has a wide angle of view, high detection range, and is ultra-sensitive. Additional device features include automatic, wireless software updates, and Z-Wave network range detection.

Icons representing: [light sensor icon], [motion sensor icon], [temperature sensor icon], [accelerometer icon].

Flood Sensor

The Flood Sensor is a universal, Z-Wave compatible, water and temperature sensor. It can be battery or VDC powered (12/24 VDC). The device has a built-in LED indicator and acoustic alarm, and is also equipped with dual tamper protection, which detects any movement or relocation. It has a built-in Z-Wave network range tester and can update automatically.

Icons representing: [flood sensor icon], [tilt sensor icon], [temperature sensor icon], [telescopic probe icon].

Power Monitoring

Monitor the current energy consumption and the power consumption history within the configuration interface of HCL. Detailed statistics presented as extremely intuitive, clear charts, give you the opportunity to control and effectively plan energy consumption costs.

Visualizations include: a dial showing current usage (7.3kWh), a pie chart showing consumption breakdown, bar charts illustrating usage over time, and a "TOP 5" list of devices/rooms by consumption.

Recovery

Recovery is the panel dedicated to retrieving the controller's system or re-installing it in case of any problems. In case of a system breakdown, you can fix it by getting back to the last stable version of the system, while retaining configuration settings. You can also choose to get back to factory settings. When you are not able to connect to the internet, choose the repair from file option, and the system will be re-installed without deleting the previously saved settings.

Options:

  • Repair system: Repair your system automatically to the latest software version.
  • Repair from file: Repair system from a local file.
  • Recover system: Recover your system to the latest software version. All user data will be erased.
