Declaration of conformity:
FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2 is a wireless, battery powered, Z-Wave Plus compatible magnetic contact sensor. Changing the device’s status will automatically send signal to the Z-Wave controller and associated devices.
Sensor can be used to trigger scenes and wherever there is a need for information about opening or closing of doors, windows, garage doors, etc. Opening is detected by separating the sensor’s body and the magnet.
In addition the FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2 is equipped with a built-in temperature sensor.
This device may be used with all devices certified with Z-Wave certificate and should be compatible with such devices produced by other manufacturers.

Radio frequency of individual device must be same as your Z-Wave controller. Check information on the box or consult your dealer if you are not sure.
To install the Door/Window Sensor 2:
We do not recommend mounting the device on metal surfaces for the best radio performance.
Correct positioning of the magnet in relation to the Sensor:
(vertical line marks should align)
It is possible to install the device with screws (not included). We recommend using 2.5mm x 16mm countersunk head screws with 5mm head diameter. The magnet still has to be stuck on.
Adding (Inclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to add the device to existing Z-Wave network. To add the device to the Z-Wave network:
Click here for more detailed instructions for Vera gateways.
In case of problems with adding the device, please reset the device and repeat the adding procedure.
Removing (Exclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to remove the device from existing Z-Wave network.
Removing the device from the Z-Wave network restores all the default parameters of the device.
To remove the device from the Z-Wave network:
The Door/Window Sensor 2 is equipped with a tamper switch with two buttons.
First TMP button is located inside the device, pressed by the closed cover and is used to detect opening it.
Second TMP button is located at bottom of the device, pressed by the surface on which the device is mounted and is used to detect detaching the device.
For the tamper switch to work one of the buttons must always be pressed!
When one of the buttons is released, the tamper alarm will be sent to the controller and associated devices.
Additionally, the tamper button allows to control the device directly.
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.
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.
Opening the casing may result in triggering an alarm. To avoid it, remove the associations for the 3rd group.
Resetting the Door/Window Sensor 2:
The Door/Window Sensor 2 needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the controller, like parameters and associations.
To wake up the sensor manually, click one of the TMP buttons (while the other button is pressed).
After adding the Sensor to the FIBARO System, it will be represented by two or three icons in Home Center interface.
First icon informs about the status of magnetic sensor (open/close), second icon displays temperature measured by the built-in sensor. Third icon is assigned to high/low temperature alarm and is visible only if parameter 54 is not equal to 0.
The device uses Notification Command Class to report different events.
Notification Type | Triggering Event |
---|---|
Home Security | Tampering, product covering removed |
Access Control | Door/window opened |
Access Control | Door/window closed |
Power Management | Replace battery now |
Heat Alarm | Overheat detected, unknown location |
Heat Alarm | Underheat detected, unknown location |
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 Door/Window Sensor 2 provides the association of three 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 the device status – contact sensor (sends Basic Set command frames).
3rd association group – “Tamper” is assigned to the TMP switch (sends alarm command frames).
The Door/Window Sensor 2 in 2nd and 3rd group allows to control 5 devices (regular or multichannel) per an association group. “LifeLine” group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.
“Lifeline“ supported Z-Wave Command Classes: Notification, Battery, Sensor Multilevel, Device Reset Locally.
To add an association (using the Home Center controller):
Any new association order given while any association commands are already being sent to devices, cancels previous one.
The Door/Window Sensor 2 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 Door/Window Sensor 2 (using the Home Center controller):
Entering invalid value of parameter will result in response with Application Rejected frame and not setting the value.
Wake up interval (battery mode)
Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds, 1h – 18h)
Default setting: 21600 (6h)
The Door/Window Sensor 2 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.
