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/removing using S1 switch, use B-button instead (located on the housing)
While adding the Switch 2 to the network with connected toggle switch, ensure that switch contact is open (off). Otherwise it will prevent adding/removing the device to/from the network.
Adding in security mode must be performed up to 2 meters from the controller.
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:
In case of problems with adding/removing using S1 switch, use B-button instead (located on the housing)
The Switch 2 has a built in Z-Wave network main controller’s range tester.
To make Z-Wave range test possible, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing may stress the network, so it is recommended to perform the test only in special cases.
Follow the below instructions to test the main controller’s range:
Z-Wave range tester signalling modes:
Communication mode of the device may switch between direct and one using routing, especially if the device is on the limit of the direct range.

Momentary switch:
After releasing the switch a spring automatically pushes back and disconnects the switch)
Toggle switch:
Operates as a two-position switch, it has no spring that would set one position of the switch.
Toggle switch and parameter 20 set to 1:
State of the device is synchronized with state of the external toggle switches.
Toggle switch and parameter 20 set to 2:
State of the device is reversed with every change in state of the external toggle switch.
The Switch 2 is equipped with a B-button, which allows to use the menu and perform the following actions:
Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:
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.
The Switch 2 can activate scenes in the Z-Wave controller by sending scene ID and attribute of a specific action using Central Scene Command Class.
By default scenes are not activated, set parameters 28 and 29 to enable scene activation for selected actions.

The Switch 2 allows for the active power and energy consumption monitoring. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller, e.g. Home Center.
Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-controller technology, assuring maximum accuracy and precision (+/- 1% for loads greater than 5W).
Electric active power – power that energy receiver is changing into a work or a heat. The unit of active power is Watt [W].
Electric energy – energy consumed by a device through a time period. Consumers of electricity in households are billed by suppliers on the basis of active power used in given unit of time. Most commonly measured in kilowatt-hour [kWh]. One kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over period of one hour, 1kWh = 1000Wh.
The Switch 2 require the power consumption of connected load equal to 5W or greater to correctly measure the power and energy.
Power measurement can contain mains voltage fluctuations within +/- 10%.
The Switch 2 stores periodically (every hour) the consumption data in the device memory. Disconnecting the module from the power supply will not erase stored energy consumption data.
The Switch 2 after detecting overheat or overcurrent will:
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 Switch 2 provides the association of five 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 (S1)” is assigned to switch connected to the S1 terminal (uses Basic command class).
3rd association group – “Dimmer (S1)” is assigned to switch connected to the S1 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
4th association group – “On/Off (S2)” is assigned to switch connected to the S2 terminal (uses Basic command class).
5th association group – “Dimmer (S2)” is assigned to switch connected to the S2 terminal (uses Switch Multilevel command class).
The Switch 2 in 2nd to 5th group allows to control 5 regular or multichannel devices 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):
Any new association order given while any association commands are already being sent to devices, cancels previous one.
The Switch 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.
