FIBARO Swipe is a revolutionary battery gesture control pad that allows you to control devices in your Z-Wave network without actually touching anything. Swipe up, down, left, right, make a circular gesture and use sequences to get full and intuitive control of your home.

Installed device perfectly matches your interior design, as it resembles a picture frame. You can even personalize it with your favourite picture. Gesture controlled menu allow to add/remove or reset the device without dismounting it.

The device is equipped with a buzzer that confirms performed gestures and other actions.

• Compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave+ Controller.
• Supports protected mode (Z-Wave network security mode) with AES-128 encryption.
• Allows contactless gesture detection.
• Battery and/or VDC powered. When connected to an external, VDC power source, the battery serves as an emergency power source.
• Gestures and actions are confirmed by the buzzer and can be indicated additionally by the built-in LED diode.
• Gesture controlled menu – allows to operate the device without dismounting it.

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:

Removing (Exclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to remove the device from existing Z-Wave network.

To remove the device to the Z-Wave network:

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.

1. Make sure the device is powered.
2. Choose 3rd menu position (3 short beeps).
3. After few seconds the device will be restarted. Not being added to the Z-Wave network will be signalized with sequence of 2 short beeps, pause, 1 short beep (RED).

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.

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.

Power saving:
When battery powered, the Swipe will enter Standby Mode by default (signalled 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.

The Swipe needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the Z-Wave controller, like parameters and associations.
Use 1st menu position to wake up the device or click the button on the back of the device once.

Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:

1. Move and hold your hand close to the center of the pad.
2. Loud sound sequence will confirm entering the menu, keep holding your hand.
3. Wait for the buzzer to indicate the desired menu position:
   • 1 short beep (WHITE indicator colour) – wake up the device
   • 2 short beeps (GREEN indicator colour) – learning mode (adding/removing)
   • 3 short beeps (YELLOW indicator colour) – the device reset
4. To select current position, withdraw the hand and perform swiping up gesture to confirm selection (two beeps will confirm validity).

The Swipe is equipped with a buzzer and LED diode, signalling gesture detection, menu position and status of the device.

• 2 short beeps (GREEN) – gesture/sequence is valid
• Intermittent tone (GREEN) – smooth control using circular gesture
• 1 long beep (RED) – gesture/sequence is invalid

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.

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.

User can create sequences of two or three gestures to expand number of possible actions. Every sequence is saved in its advanced parameter (no. 31-36) with 16 bits, every basic gesture is identified with 4 bits.

Gesture values:

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” on page 10).
3. The device will enter learning mode, which is signalled 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” on page 10).
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:

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).

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).

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).

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.

FIBARO 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 FIBARO Swipe (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.

Wake up interval (battery mode)

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.
