FIBARO SWIPE FGGC-001 - Smart Gesture Controller Manual

Basic gestures are used to turn On and OFF associated devices or trigger scenes.

Circular gestures are used to e.g. dim/brighten the lights or adjust the blinds via associations. They can also trigger scenes. After performing first circle, the device will start changing the value (clockwise - increase, counter-clockwise - decrease). Withdrawing the hand will stop the change.

Sequences are composed of two or three gestures. User can create up to 6 custom sequences. They can operate other devices via scenes only.

Scene ID

Scene ID:
Every basic gesture and sequence has its own Scene ID that is send to the main controller after recognizing it. Scene activation for basic gestures is send after second gesture or timeout.
NOTE
Toggle Mode (parameter 12) disallows doubled gestures.

Gesture values:

NOTE
In case of sequence of two gesture, field for third gesture should be set to 0.

Rules of creating sequences:

• Maximum of six sequences can be created.
• Each sequence must be unique.
• Sequence can consist of two or three basic gestures (left, right, up or down).
• Two identical gestures cannot be used next to each other.

Learning a new sequence:
To perform automatic learning of a sequence:

1. Change value of parameter 30 to number of sequence slot you want to fill (1 to 6).
2. Wake up the device using 1st menu position (see "Operating the device")
3. The device will enter learning mode, which is signaled by constant beeping.
4. Perform a desired sequence.

Creating and configuring sequences in the Home Center interface:

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon on its bar:
2. Drag and drop two or three gestures to create a desired sequence.
3. Confirm the selection by clicking "Confirm a new sequence".
4. Wake up the device using 1st menu position (see "Operating the device").
5. Click the plus icon ("new Reaction") next to the newly created sequence.
6. Select the device you want to control.
7. From the available options select the reaction of the controlled device and complete the setup by clicking "Save".

Creating and editing sequences manually:
To manually create or edit a sequence slot:
NOTE
Setting parameter to 0 will delete the sequence.

1. Calculate new value of parameter using table and formula:
   Value of parameter = 256 * Value of first gesture + + 16 * Value of second gesture + Value of third gesture
2. Change the value of corresponding parameter (parameters 31 to 36 for slots 1 to 6).

Powering modes

There are two powering modes of the Swipe. By default, powering mode of the device is updated automatically (in intervals specified in parameter 5) after changing type of supply. The Swipe sends detected gestures to the Z-Wave network immediately, but configuration parameters and associations settings only at wake up (in time intervals or manually), independently of the powering mode.
Battery powering mode - by default, the Swipe is supplied with 4 batteries included with the device (type AA 1.5V). They are not rechargeable and should be replaced after wearing out. The device in this mode uses power saving function to preserve battery life.
External supply mode - the Swipe can be supplied with a 5V DC power supply connected to the micro-USB port. In this mode batteries will work as an emergency supply.

Using batteries other than specified may result in explosion. Dispose of properly, observing environmental protection rules.

NOTE
The device does not work as a Z-Wave repeater, even when connected to the external power supply.

Power saving:
When battery powered, the Swipe will enter Standby Mode by default (signaled with a low pitch beep) after 5 seconds of inactivity to reduce the battery usage. In Standby Mode range and frequency of detection are reduced preventing normal gesture detection. Operation of power saving mode can be modified in parameter 6.
In order to exit Standby Mode:

1. Move your hand close to the centre of the pad.
2. Wait for the high pitch beep.
3. Move your hand away from the pad.
4. The device is ready to detect gestures.

Additional features

Service button B:
The Swipe is equipped with a service B-button, which allows to use the menu. The B-button is located on back of the device and requires dismounting the Swipe from its back case. In order to operate the menu using the B-button:

1. Make sure the device is powered via micro-USB port.
2. Press and hold the B-button.
3. Loud sound sequence will confirm entering the menu, keep holding your hand.
4. Wait for the buzzer to indicate the desired menu position with short beeps:
   • 1 short beep (WHITE) - wake up the device
   • 2 short beeps (GREEN) - learning mode (adding/removing)
   • 3 short beeps (YELLOW) - the device reset
5. Release the B-button.
6. Click the B-button to confirm selection.

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).
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.

The Swipe provides the association of six groups:
1st association group – "Lifeline" reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – "Flick UP" is assigned to moving the hand up over the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
3rd association group – "Flick DOWN" is assigned to moving the hand down over the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
4th association group – "Flick LEFT" is assigned to moving the hand from the right to the left side of the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
5th association group – "Flick RIGHT" is assigned to moving the hand from the left to the right side of the panel (sends Basic Set command frames).
6th association group – "Circular AirWheel" is assigned to circular move of the hand clockwise or counter-clockwise over the panel (sends Switch Multilevel Start/Stop Level Change command frames).

NOTE
By default 2nd-5th association groups are set to toggle mode - single gesture will reverse state of the association group (turns On when it's OFF, turns OFF when it's On). Can be modified via parameter 12.
NOTE
States of the association groups are affected only by assigned gestures. Changing state of associated device by other means will not update remembered state of association group.

The Swipe in 2nd to 6th 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 the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced" tab.
3. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
4. Wait for the configuration process to end. Sending relevant information to devices added to associated groups may take even a few minutes.
5. Wake up the device manually to speed up the configuration process (1st menu position).

Advanced parameters

The Swipe 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 Swipe (using the home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced" tab.

Wake up interval
Available settings: 0 or 60-64800 (in seconds, 1min - 18h)
Default setting: 21 600 (every 6 hours)
The Swipe 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 using 1st menu position. Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life

1. Device orientation
