Declaration of conformity:
The FIBARO Heat Controller is a remotely controlled thermostatic head to control temperature in your room.
It measures the temperature and automatically adjust the heat level. It can be mounted without tools on three types of thermostatic radiator valves.
You can create schedules via app to easily manage temperature throughout the week.

If you use one of the adapters, double check that it is mounted properly. It should click when putting on the valve, hold tight after installing and not rotate!
Install the device in horizontal position only!
Do not cover or veil the thermostatic head.
Calibrating the device to your radiator valve is required for proper controlling the temperature.
Calibration cannot be performed while the device is being charged.
Calibration is performed:
To perform calibration using the menu:
Before dismounting, the device must be put in Standby Mode to ensure safe removal. See „Standby Mode” for more information.
To dismount the device:
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.
Removing (Exclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to remove the device from existing Z-Wave network.
To remove the device from the Z-Wave network:
The device has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester.
To perform range test:
The device can be used with an additional, dedicated temperature sensor (FGBRS-001) to provide the best temperature regulation.
It can be placed anywhere in the room and the device will use it as a reference point for the room temperature.
Before using, the sensor must be paired with the thermostatic head. One thermostatic head can be paired with only one sensor, but one sensor can be paired with up to three thermostatic heads.
FGBRS-001 is the only compatible temperature sensor.
To pair the FGBRS-001 with the device:
To remove all paired heads from the sensor’s memory:
You can set temperature using app (10-30°C) or directly on the device (16-24°C).
During manual temperature change LED ring colour corresponds to the temperature set-point.
To check and change the temperature on the device:
With colour depending on set temperature:
Z-Wave Mode | Temperature [°C] | Colour |
---|---|---|
OFF | Valve closed (anti-freeze) | White |
HEAT | 16°C or lower | Blue |
17°C | Azure | |
18°C | Cyan | |
19°C | Spring green | |
20°C | Green | |
21°C | Chartreuse | |
22°C | Yellow | |
23°C | Orange | |
24°C or higher | Red | |
MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC | Valve fully opened | Magenta |
If device is currently during normal schedule, setting temperature manually will set Override Schedule.
Menu allows to perform important configuration and maintenance actions.
In order to use the menu:
Colour | |
---|---|
Blue | pair dedicated temperature sensor |
Red | enable/disable local control protection |
White | perform head calibration |
Green | adding/removing to/from Z-Wave network |
Magenta | Z-Wave network’s range test |
Cyan | put device in Standby Mode |
Yellow | factory reset |
After enabling the local protection changing temperature directly on the device (by turning it) will not be possible.
Enabling local protection is recommended if you want to prevent accidental temperature change, e.g. by children.
When attempting to change temperature if local protection is enabled:
To change the temperature use the app or disable the local protection.
Local protection can also be enabled/disabled using Z-Wave protocol Command Class Protection
In Standby Mode the device is in deep sleep state allowing safe dismounting, transporting and low as possible battery consumption.
The device is shipped in Standby Mode.
Entering the device in Standby Mode will not factory reset the device nor will result in loosing any data.
To enter Standby Mode:
To exit Standby Mode click the button once, the device will enter first installation procedure.
Reset procedure allows to restore the heat controller back to its factory settings, which means all information about the network and user configuration will be deleted.
Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use the reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable.
To perform factory reset:
The device is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery pack that can be charged via micro-USB port using standard 5V charger (not included).
When battery is low the LED ring will start to blink red. The device will also report low battery status of itself and dedicated temperature sensor (if paired) to the controller.
Make sure you are using certified charger Class II, which complies with parameters specified in the manual.
Do not leave the device unattended while charging.
Do not use cables longer than 3 meters for charging the device.
To charge the battery:
The device allows to create multiple heating schedules to manage temperature in the room throughout the week. Schedules are created via controller interface or app.
To create normal schedules user must specify:
Override Schedule is a special type schedule that has the highest priority; thus it overrides other schedules.
The Override Schedule starts right after setting and lasts for specified time, then it is removed and current schedule or normal operation is restored.
To create Override Schedule user must specify:
Override Mode can be enabled in two ways:
To exit Override Mode grab knob with your hand for 5 seconds.
The device 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 device (using the Home Center controller):
Available settings:
10-10000 (in minutes)
Default setting: 240 (4h)
Parameter size: 4 [bytes]
Available settings:
1 (bit 0) – enable Open Window Detector
2 (bit 1) – enable fast Open Window Detector
4 (bit 2) – increase receiver sensitivity (shortens battery life)
8 (bit 3) – enabled LED indications when controlling remotely
16 (bit 4) – protect from setting Full ON and Full OFF mode by turning the knob manually
Default setting: 1
Parameter size: 4 [bytes]
Parameter 2 values may be combined, e.g. 1+8=9 means that Open Window Detector and LED indications when controlling remotely are enabled.
Available settings:
1 (bit 0) – optional temperature sensor connected and operational
2 (bit 1) – open window detected
Default setting: 0
Parameter size: 4 [bytes]
Parameter 3 values may be combined, e.g. 1+2=3 means optional sensor works properly and open window detection was triggered.
