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.
Adding in security mode must be performed up to 2 meters from the controller.
In case the device is not added, 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:
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. There are two ways of resetting the device:
Resetting the device using the menu:
Emergency resetting the device on start-up:
Successful resetting will be confirmed by smoothly brightening and dimming of the yellow LED colour.
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. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing.
The KeyFob is equipped with a LED diode, signalling pushing the buttons, sequences, menu position and status of the device.
Indications for scenes and associations:
After pressing one of the buttons or using sequence, KeyFob indicates status of action with the LED diode.

Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:
Resetting the device from the menu is not available in Lock Mode.
The KeyFob 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 (white) or click and
simultaneously to wake up the device.
The KeyFob can be powered with CR2450 (included) battery. Estimated battery life with device added once, default settings, direct range and maximum 5 pushes per day is 2 years.
Checking battery level:
KeyFob automatically warns about low battery with 3 magenta blinks.
Replacing the battery:
The KeyFob can be protected with a sequence of 2 to 5 button clicks.
When unlocking sequence is set, the device will lock itself after:
To enable Lock Mode:
Lock Mode will be disabled when:
When device is locked:
Setting the unlocking sequence and locking time-out using Home Center configuration interface:
Setting the unlocking sequence using advanced parameter:
Value of parameter = Value of first button + 8 * Value of second button + 64 * Value of third button + 512 * Value of fourth button + 4096 * Value of fifth button
Button | ![]() |

Value | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Value of parameter = Time to lock in seconds + 256 * Value of locking button
Time to lock should be 0 or 5-255 (seconds)

Value | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
You can also use calculator below to calculate value of the parameter:
User can create sequences of two to five button to expand number of possible actions. Every sequence sends corresponding Scene ID to the Z-Wave controller with attribute “Key pressed 1 time” (see “Scene activation” on page 11).
Sequences are saved in advanced parameters (no. 3-8).
Activating sequence introduces delay in single, double and tripple click actions for first button in the sequence.
Rules of creating sequences:
Setting a new sequence using Home Center configuration interface:
Setting a new sequence using advanced parameter:
Value of parameter = Value of first button + 8 * Value of second button + 64 * Value of third button + 512 * Value of fourth button + 4096 * Value of fifth button

Value | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
The KeyFob can activate scenes in the Z-Wave controller by sending scene ID and attribute of a specific action.
By default scenes are activated after single clicking or pressing and holding any of the buttons and sequences. Other actions can be activated in parameters 21-26.
Activating a double click will introduce delay to a single click reaction and activating a triple click will introduce delay to a double click reaction.

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.
States of the association groups are affected only by buttons. Changing state of associated device by other means will not update remembered state of association group.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 association groups use BASIC CC, but device does not repond to GET commands.
The KeyFob 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 – “Square – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
3rd association group – “Square – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
4th association group – “Circle – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
5th association group – “Circle – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
6th association group – “Cross – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
7th association group – “Cross – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
8th association group – “Triangle – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
9th association group – “Triangle – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
10th association group – “Minus – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
11th association group – “Minus – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
12th association group – “Plus – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
13th association group – “Plus – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
The KeyFob in 2nd to 13th 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.
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):
Paired buttons associations
After pairing buttons, horizontal pairs of buttons ( and
,
and
,
and
) work as one button and send associations to left buttons groups only.
Left buttons (,
,
) turn on associated devices and right buttons (
,
,
) turn them off.
In multilevel association groups (3, 7, 11) left buttons increase level while holding and right buttons decrease it.
To pair buttons:
The KeyFob 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.
