Fibaro (3 in 1) Door/Window Sensor

Don’t forget to ensure one tamper is permanently closed while clicking the other to exclude / include…

I had abit of trouble with the sensor too,
The trick is to make sure the tamper button on the back is free (not pressed)
The casing is closed (!!!)

And then press very fast the tamper button on the device back (while vera is in add-mode)

But alot more than 3 times, just keep pressing and releasing the button very fast till vera responds with fast flashing z-wave LED.

After its added, set the poll-time in the device to 30sec. And wakeup time to 60 sec. Until the sensor does show up. (If not it will simply take forever) press config now, and open the door.

Then wait.

thx, including it works, it just never gives a blue light when moving the magnet away. The other one I have is working fine

It now lights up when removing the magnet…however the GUI does not chnage when it is removed, so it does not show tripped

It works after I do not know how many clicks…

After the temperature sensor shows up, and all settings on the device,
Dont forget to set the wakeup time back to something more solid, like 1800 sec or 3600.
Its not very practical and will shorten the battery life dramatically.

Poll time can be tiny value, it does not poll if the unit is asleep anyway.
Make sure polling time is smaller than the wake-up time,
to ensure the device gets polled if its wake up.

I also have one of these sensors.

Has anyone successfully triggered an event when the device is tampered with?

Otherwise the tamper switches are quite useless. I don’t think a burglar is impressed by a flashing led :wink:

Yes,i have three of them behaving this way

Do you mean you have set them up to report being tampered with? if so, how did you do it?

shoot was not reading correctly…tampered <> tripped. So sorry, i have not done this

i think he will be , as with the flashing light comes 220v 16A on the doorhandle ^^

got one too and it is not willing to include. i measured the battery and it reads 2,4 v so i guess that is the problem. probably the same problem other people in this topic are suffering from.
battery is supposed to have the + in the middle and the tempsensor has flat side downwards. putting it on table with a accu from a galaxy s2 and tamperswitch pushed in and 3 times pressing the inner TMP switch includes it in 1 time trying. manual could use some update and be a lot clearer but ok it works now :slight_smile:

make sure you press the tamper button VERY OFTEN (way more than 3 times off the manual) and VERY FAST !
that did always solve it for me.

thnx :slight_smile:
the thing is it should include when tamperswitch is pressed and using the TMP switch inside 3 times and the reed contact is also activated (the little thing that supposed to be next to the sensor for tripping stuff should be at the correct place next to sensor)
i got apparently a RMA’ed device and the battery was at 2,3V DC. not really the best way to start… i get a new one for free :slight_smile:
the cover seems to have a plastic stick inside that falls over the TMP switch and looks like it doesnt press the inner TMP switch. cant see as it is closed but the whole in the little stick in the cover has a large enough whole to not press the inner TMP… not sure whether it should be pressed in or not.

If the case is closed, it should press the tmp switch. You can easily test this.
If you already mounted it:
place or remove the cover. The blue LED should show eight slow blinks.
If you have not yet mounted it:
Close the case and then press the back tmp switch. The blue LED should show eight slow blinks.

so what ur saying is that both are pressed in. what about the reed-contact ? is this closed or not ? if not it be a 3-in-1 device afterall… since it got TMP and reed/external contact and temperature. would be nice to have the external contact to be separate from the reed. but its not supported by the door-sensor hardware :frowning: same with the everspring HSM-02. the fibaro binary universal sensor has 2 separate contacts and is cheaper. wouldnt be too much hussle to put both a reed-contact+magnet and a doorbell pushbutton on the universal sensor.

so far as i know, vera does not detect the difference between the tmp and the case buttons.
the external contact and the magnet switch are parallel … so they act as one and trigger the same event.

mmm… would be better if tamperswitch and reed where separated…
was thinking to get the universal sensor to do tamper and doorcontact and have it on a adapter 9v and a backup battery 9v… perhaps a rechargeble. somehow seems a better solution abeit not that small as the doorsensor.

The TMP switches are in series. So it is not possible to detect them separately.
But VERA does not detect and report status on the TMP switches AT ALL. At least, not with me. If VERA sees the TMP switches of your sensor, may I ask how you did this?

TMP and Reed is separate. If you trigger a TMP switch, no status in VERA changes.

that sucks even more. you want it to notify vera when tamperswitch is in open state :-S
perhaps in new firmware this is solved ?

it does not ! i did refer to the external switch that can be connected which is parallel to the magnetic switch/door sensor …

Can anyone post a pic of the temp sensor added into the Fibaro. I just can’t get it work. Does the black thing need to be outside or inside, which wires go where. I have tried most combinations, but with the temp sensor plugged in, it fails to respond until I remove the temp sensor.
