Operating the device

Operating the Button:

1 click: send action to associated devices (switch on/off by de fault) and/or trigger a scene

2 clicks: send action to associated devices (switch on maximum level by default) and/or trigger a scene

3 clicks: send action to associated devices (no action by default) and/or trigger a scene

4 clicks: wake the device up and/or trigger a scene

5 clicks: start reset procedure (press and hold for 5s to confirm) and/or trigger a scene

6 or more clicks: learning mode (adding/removing)
Hold: send action to associated devices (start level change up/ down) and/or trigger a scene
Release: send action to associated devices (stop level change) and/or trigger a scene

Waking up the device:
The Button needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the controller, like parameters and associations.
Click the Button 4 times to wake it up.

Scene ID:
Every action with the Button is send to the main controller with Scene ID equal to 1. Controller recognizes type of action using the attribute assigned to it.

Reset procedure of the Button:
Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted. In order to reset the device:

1. Click the Button exactly five times.
2. Press and hold the Button for at least 5 seconds.

NOTE: If notifications are enabled, each press of the button results in sending a command (notification Type=hOME_SECURITY, Event=Intrusion, Unknown Location).

NOTE: Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing.

Associations

Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

The Button provides the association of four groups:

1st association group – "Lifeline" reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).

2nd association group – "On/Off" is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.

3rd association group – "Dimmer" is assigned to holding the button and is used to change level of associated devices.

4th association group – "Alarm" is assigned to clicking and/or holding the button (triggers are defined in parameter 30) and is used to send alarm frames to associated devices.

FIBARO Button in 2nd, 3rd and 4th group allows to control 5 regular or multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception of "LifeLine" that is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.

It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

To add an association (using the home Center controller):

1. Go to device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced" tab.
3. Click the "Setting Association" button.
4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
5. Save the changes.
6. Wake up the device manually to confirm changes (4 clicks).

NOTE: Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in the direct range.

NOTE: The device supports the generic Z-Wave command class "Basic" but will ignore any SET or GET commands and will not respond with a Basic Report.

NOTE: Increasing number of associations will increase battery consumption resulting in shorter battery life.

Advanced parameters

The Button allows to customize its operation to user's needs. The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.

In order to configure the Button (using the hC controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced" tab.
3. Modify values of chosen parameters.
4. Save the changes.
5. Wake up the device manually to confirm changes (4 clicks).

Wake up interval

Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds, 1h - 18h)
Default setting: 0

The Button will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. After successful communication attempt, the device will update configuration parameters, associations and settings and then will go into Z-Wave communication standby.

After failed communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device will go into Z-Wave communication standby and retry to establish connection with the main controller after the next time interval.

Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notification to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually by clicking the Button 4 times.

1. Scenes sent to the controller
   This parameter determines which actions result in sending scene IDs and attributes assigned to them.

NOTE: Longer wake up time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life.

NOTE: Values of parameter 1 may be combined, e.g. 1+2=3 means that scenes will be sent after pressing the button once or twice

3. Associations in Z-Wave network Security Mode
   This parameter defines how commands are sent in specified association groups: as secure or non-secure. Parameter is active only in Z-Wave network Security Mode. It does not apply to 1st „Lifeline" group.
