Why Can't My Fibaro Home Center Discover Devices?

Smart Hubs • Fibaro Home Center

Your Fibaro Home Center hub can't discover Z-Wave or Zigbee devices during pairing. The Home Center must be connected to your network via Ethernet (port on the back) and have a valid IP address. Devices must be in inclusion mode and within range. This guide covers checking the network connection, entering inclusion mode, and proximity requirements.

How Do I Use the Fibaro Swipe Gesture Controller?

Smart Sensors • Fibaro Swipe

You want to set up the Fibaro Swipe gesture controller for touchless control of your smart home. The Swipe mounts on a wall and detects hand gestures (swipe up, down, left, right, and circular motions). Include it in your Z-Wave network first by pressing the inclusion button on the back. Each gesture can be mapped to different smart home actions.

How to Install Fibaro Z-Wave Devices

Smart Hubs • Fibaro Z-Wave Devices

This guide covers the Z-Wave pairing, configuration, and scene setup for Fibaro Z-Wave smart home devices including the Fibaro Motion Sensor, Dimmer 2, and Door/Window Sensor. Fibaro devices require a Z-Wave hub such as Fibaro Home Center, SmartThings, or Hubitat for operation and are not directly controllable without a hub.

What Do Fibaro Motion Sensor LED Colors Mean?

Smart Sensors • Fibaro Motion Sensor

You want to understand what the different LED colors on your Fibaro Motion Sensor mean. The sensor's eye-shaped LED uses different colors to indicate status: green = motion detected, blue = tamper alert, red = low battery, purple = temperature threshold exceeded. The default LED behavior can be customized through Z-Wave parameters.

Why Is My Fibaro Motion Sensor Not Detecting Motion in Certain Areas of the Room

Smart Sensors • Fibaro Motion Sensor

Your Fibaro Motion Sensor detects motion in some parts of the room but has blind spots where movement goes unnoticed. You walk through certain areas and the sensor does not trigger. The distinctive eye design should cover the room but something is preventing full coverage.

Why Is My Fibaro Dimmer 2 Minimum Brightness Setting Still Too Bright

Smart Switches • Fibaro Dimmer 2

Your Fibaro Dimmer 2 does not dim low enough even at minimum setting. When you set brightness to 1% or minimum, the lights are still noticeably bright rather than very dim. You want a true nightlight level but the dimmer will not go that low. Some LED bulbs may even flicker at low settings.

How Do I Install the Fibaro Dimmer 2 Bypass?

Smart Lighting • Fibaro Dimmer 2

You need to install the Fibaro Dimmer 2 bypass module for LED bulbs. The bypass is needed when dimming LED bulbs below 50W total load — without it, LEDs may flicker, buzz, or not turn off completely. The bypass is a small module that wires in parallel with the light fixture inside the ceiling box. This guide covers why you need it and how to wire it.

How Do I Configure My Fibaro Door/Window Sensor?

Smart Sensors • Fibaro Door/Window Sensor

You want to configure your Fibaro door/window sensor after adding it to your Z-Wave network. The sensor detects open/closed status and temperature, with configurable parameters for sensitivity, reporting intervals, and LED behavior. Include the sensor in your Z-Wave network first (triple-click the tamper button inside the housing), then adjust parameters through your hub.
