General information about
the FIBARO System
FIBARO is a wireless smart home automation system, based on the
Z-Wave protocol. All of available devices can be controlled through
a computer (PC or Mac), smartphone or tablet. Z-Wave devices (non-
battery powered) are not only receivers, but can also repeat the
signal, increasing the Z-Wave network’s range. It gives advantage
over traditional wireless systems that require direct link between
transmitter and receiver, as a result the construction of the building
could aect network’s range negatively.
Every FIBARO network has its unique identication number (home
ID). Multiple independent networks can exist in the building without
interfering. Transmission security of FIBARO System is comparable to
wired systems.
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 gives the system the
ability to evolve and expand over time. For more information visit:

SEQUENCES OF GESTURES SEQUENCES OF GESTURES
Sequences:
User can create sequences of two or three gestures to expand num-
ber of possible actions. Every sequence is saved in its advanced pa-
rameter (no. 31-36) with 16 bits, every basic gesture is identied with
4 bits.
Value 4 bits Ges-
ture
00000 empty

20010 \/
30011 <
40100 >
#8: Sequences of gestures
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.
NOTE

POWERING MODES ADDITIONAL FEATURES
#9: Powering modes
There are two powering modes of the Swipe. By default, powering
mode of the device is updated automatically (in intervals specied in
parameter 5) after changing type of supply.
The Swipe sends detected gestures to the Z-Wave network
immediately, but conguration parameters and associations settings
only at wake up (in time intervals or manually), independently of the
powering mode.
Battery powering mode - by default, the Swipe is supplied with
4 batteries included with the device (type AA 1.5V). They are not
rechargeable and should be replaced after wearing out. The device in
this mode uses power saving function to preserve battery life.
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.
CAUTION
Using batteries other
than specied may re-
sult in explosion. Dis-
pose of properly, ob-
serving environmental
protection rules.
!
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 modied 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.
#10: Additional features
Service button B:
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 conrm 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 conrm selection.
NOTE
The device does not
work as a Z-Wave
repeater, even when
connected to the ex-
ternal power supply.

Default setting: 1Parameter size: 1[byte]
The Swipe allows to customize its operation to user’s needs. The set-
tings are available in the FIBARO interface as simple options that may
be chosen by selecting the appropriate box.
In order to congure the Swipe (using the Home Center controller):
1. Go to the device options by clicking the icon:
2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
NOTE
Active acoustic signals
can be selected in
parameter 4.
i
#11: Associations
The Swipe provides the association of six groups:
1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and al-
lows 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 com-
mand frames) .
6th association group – “Circular AirWheel” is assigned to circu-
lar move of the hand clockwise or counter-clockwise over the panel
(sends Switch Multilevel Start/Stop Level Change command frames).
The Swipe in 2nd to 6th group allows to control 5 regular or multichan-
nel devices per an association group, with the exception of “LifeLine”
that 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.
Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices within
the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter
or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).
NOTE
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 di-
rect range.
i
NOTE
By default 2nd-5th
association groups
are set to toggle
mode - single gesture
will reverse state of
the association group
(turns ON when it’s
OFF, turns OFF when
it’s ON). Can be modi-
ed via parameter 12.
i
Wake up interval
Available settings: 0or 60-64800 (in seconds, 1min - 18h)
Default setting: 21 600 (every 6 hours)
The Swipe will wake up at each dened time interval and always try to
connect with the main controller. After successful communication at-
tempt, the device will update conguration 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 notication
to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed man-
ually using 1st menu position.
Longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus a
longer battery life
NOTE
States of the associa-
tion groups are aect-
ed only by assigned
gestures. Changing
state of associated de-
vice by other means
will not update re-
membered state of as-
sociation group.
