| 1 click | Key Pressed 1 time |
| 2 clicks | Key Pressed 2 times |
| 3 clicks | Key Pressed 3 times |

Configuration
Associations
Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Wall Plug, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).
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 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.
The 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):
- Go to Settings .
- Go to Devices.
- Select the appropriate device from the list.
- Select the Associations tab.
- Define to which group and which devices to associate.
- Save the changes.
- Press the button 4 times to wake up the device.
Any new association order given while any association commands are already being sent to devices, cancels previous one.
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 Home Center controller):
- Go to Settings .
- Go to Devices.
- Select the appropriate device from the list.
- Select the Parameters tab.
- Change values of selected parameters.
- Save the changes.
- Press the button 4 times to wake up the device.
Wake up interval (battery mode)
Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds, 1h – 18h)
Default setting: 0 (only manual wake up)
The Button will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. Longer wake up time interval means less frequent communication and thus a longer battery life.
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.
