FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the Z-Wave protocol. All available devices can be controlled through a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Z-Wave devices are not only receivers, but can also repeat the signal, increasing the Z-Wave network range. It gives advantage over the traditional wireless systems that require a direct link between transmitter and receiver in which case the construction of the building can affect the network range negatively.

Every Z-Wave network has its unique identification number (home ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in one building without interfering. Transmission security of the FIBARO System is comparable to wired systems.

The Z-Wave technology is the leading solution in smart home automation. There is a wide range of Z-Wave devices that are mutually compatible, independently of manufacturer. It enables the system to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit: www.fibaro.com.

Radio frequency of an individual device needs to be the same as your Z-Wave controller. Check information on the box or consult your dealer if you aren’t sure.

FIBARO Wall Plug is a remotely controlled plug-in switch with the ability to measure power and energy consumption.

It uses a LED frame to visualize the current load and operating mode with color changing illumination.

4. Click the button to confirm selection.

Menu is preceded by white flashes of the LED frame – release the button if you want to disable/enable the LED frame.

The Wall Plug has a LED frame, signaling the sensor operating modes and current active power consumption. The visual indicator can also inform of the Z-Wave network range.

Visual indicator frame signaling modes:

• Active power consumption – by default, when the device is turned ON, the color varies depending on the current power consumption.
• Z-Wave network inclusion status – once plugged into a mains socket the device signals it with blinking light (green – added, red – not added).
• Range of the Z-Wave network – signaled with color depending on the type of communication or the lack of it (only in range tester mode).
• Menu position – signaled with the color assigned to a position.
• Ongoing software update – signaled with blinking cyan light.
• Hardware fault state – error in communication with radio chip, device secured, unplug the device and plug it back into the socket.

Disabling visual indications:

Visual indication frame can be turned off for status signaling (turned ON/OFF, power consumption). That means each status change is signaled by a short white blink of the frame. Disabling it doesn’t change operation of the device.

To disable the LED frame:

1. Insert the Wall Plug in a socket.
2. Press and hold the button for about 3 seconds.
3. Release the button after the LED frame starts pulsing white light.

To restore visual indications perform the above procedure again.

Disabling the LED frame indications also affects alarm signalization.

The reset procedure enables restoring the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration is deleted.

1. Make sure the device is powered.
2. Press and hold the button.
3. Wait for the LED frame to glow yellow (3^rd menu position).
4. Release the button.
5. Click the button once to confirm selection.
6. After a few seconds the device restarts with factory settings, which is signaled with the red frame color.

Resetting the device isn’t 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 described in the “Removing device” secition above.

The Wall Plug enables monitoring the active power and energy consumption. Data is sent to the main Z-Wave controller.

Measuring is carried out by the most advanced micro-controller technology, assuring the maximum accuracy and precision (+/- 1% for loads greater than 5 W).

Power and energy are reported according to parameters 11-15.

For loads under 5 W power is reported for every 0.3 W change.

Electric active power – power that the energy receiver is changing into work or 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 a given unit of time. Most commonly measured in kilowatt-hour [kWh]. One kilowatt-hour is equal to one kilowatt of power consumed over the period of one hour, 1 kWh = 1000 Wh.

The Wall Plug enables erasing stored consumption data (turning it off/on or removing it from the socket doesn’t erase consumption):

1. Make sure the device is powered.
2. Press and hold the button.
3. Release the button when the LED frame glows green (1^st menu position).
4. Press the button briefly.

Association (linking devices) – enables the direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (can be controlled only with a Z-Wave controller).

Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices. It’s performed without participation of the main controller.

The Wall Plug provides association of three groups:

• 1^st Association Group: Lifeline – reports the device status and enables assigning single device only (main controller by default).
• 2^nd Association Group: On/Off (Button) – devices in this group are switched on or off when relay status is changed using the button (uses Basic command class).
• 3^rd Association Group: On/Off (Plug power) – devices in this group are switched on or off depending on the current load of plugged device (uses Basic command class).

The Wall Plug in 2^nd and 3^rd group enables the control of up to 5 regular or multichannel devices per one association group. The LifeLine group is reserved solely for the controller and only one node can be assigned.

2^nd association group commands are sent only in case of manual operation through the button. 3^rd association group commands are sent automatically, depending on parameters 21 to 27.

To add an association (using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Setting Association button.
4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
5. Save the changes.
6. Wait for the configuration process to end.

 Meter Report [0x02] in Lifeline Group reports energy by default.

The Wall Plug has a built in Z-Wave network main controller range tester.

To test the main controller range:

1. Press and hold the button.
2. Wait for the LED frame to glow violet (2^nd menu position).
3. Release the button.
4. Click the button once to confirm selection.
5. Visual indicator indicates the Z-Wave network range (range signaling modes described below).
6. To exit Z-Wave range test, press the button briefly.

To enable the Z-Wave range test, the device must be added to the Z-Wave controller. Testing can stress the network, so it’s recommended to perform the test only in special cases.

• Visual indicator pulsing green – the Wall Plug attempts to establish direct communication with the main controller. If a direct communication attempt fails, the device tries to establish routed communication through other modules, which is signaled by visual indicator pulsing yellow.
• Visual indicator glowing green – the Wall Plug communicates with the main controller directly.
• Visual indicator pulsing yellow – the Wall Plug tries to establish a routed communication with the main controller through other modules (repeaters).
• Visual indicator glowing yellow – the Wall Plug communicates with the main controller through the other modules. After 2 seconds the device retries to establish direct communication with the main controller, which is signaled with visual indicator pulsing green.
• Visual indicator pulsing violet – the Wall Plug communicates at the maximum distance of the Z-Wave network. If connection proves successful it is confirmed with yellow glow. It’s not recommended to use the device at the range limit.
• Visual indicator glowing red – the Wall Plug can’t connect to the main controller directly or through another Z-Wave network device (repeater).

Communication mode of the Wall Plug can switch between direct and the one using routing, especially if the device is at the limit of the direct range.

Generic Device Class: GENERIC_TYPE_SWITCH_BINARY
Specific Device Class: SPECIFIC_TYPE_POWER_SWITCH_BINARY
Description: represents the main A type socket, enables turining the connected device ON or OFF and measure its active power and energy consumption.

The device uses Notification Command Class to report different events to the controller (Lifeline Group).

Protection Command Class prevents local or remote control of the device.

The Wall Plug operation can be customised to user needs. The settings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that can be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.

In order to configure the Wall Plug (using the Home Center controller):

1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Modify values of chosen parameters.
4. Save the changes.

Entering invalid value of parameter results in failure to set the value and triggers response with Application Rejected or Supervision Command Class frame (depending on the controller).

General settings

Power and energy measurement

The default values of the parameters suit most types of devices. They were selected to show the power values in real time, without overloading the Z-Wave network in the process. In specific cases it can be necessary to modify the default settings to optimize the Z-Wave network use. In extreme cases it is recommended to turn off reporting completely and configure power polling or periodic reports in the Z-Wave controller.
The Wall Plug reports the power load with specified frequency. The configuration parameters described below help specify how frequently the power load is reported.

 In extreme cases, reports can be sent every second if rapid and significant load power changes occur. Frequent reporting may overload the Z-Wave network so these parameters settings should reflect significant changes in power load only.

ON/OFF association groups

Setting parameters 24, 25, 26, 27 to appropriate value results in:

0 – turning off the associated devices.
1-99 – forcing level of associated devices.
255 – setting associated devices to the last remembered state or turning them on.
