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 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):

  1. Go to Settings .
  2. Go to Devices.
  3. Select the appropriate device from the list.
  4. Select the Associations tab.
  5. Define to which group and which devices to associate.
  6. Save the changes.
  7. Wake up the device manually or wait for the next automatic wake up.

Any new association order given while any association commands are already being sent to devices, cancels previous one.

Advanced parameters

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):

  1. Go to Settings .
  2. Go to Devices.
  3. Select the appropriate device from the list.
  4. Select the Parameters tab.
  5. Change values of selected parameters.
  6. Save the changes.
  7. Press the TMP button to wake up the device or wait until the auto-awaken time has elapsed.

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.
