The FIBARO Smart Implant (SKU: FIBEFGBS-222) is a Z-Wave compatible device designed to enhance the functionality of wired sensors and other devices by integrating them into a Z-Wave network. It acts as a bridge, allowing traditional wired sensors to communicate with a Z-Wave controller, thereby expanding the capabilities of a smart home system. This device is a secure alarm sensor for Europe and requires connection to a mains power supply to operate.
The Smart Implant enables various types of wired sensors to report their readings to a Z-Wave controller. It supports:
Beyond just reporting sensor data, the Smart Implant can also control devices by opening or closing output contacts (OUT1 and OUT2), independently of the inputs. This allows for automation scenarios where sensor input triggers an action on a connected device. For example, it can be connected to a gate opener with an impulse input, where each impulse starts and stops the gate motor, alternating between opening and closing.
The device supports Z-Wave network Security Modes, including S0 with AES-128 encryption and S2 with PRNG-based encryption, ensuring secure communication within the network. It also functions as a Z-Wave signal repeater, extending the range and reliability of the Z-Wave network. A built-in temperature sensor provides additional environmental monitoring.
To integrate the Smart Implant into a Z-Wave network, it must first be in its factory default state. The inclusion process involves setting the main controller to "Security S2 Authenticated add mode," scanning the DSK QR code or inputting the 5-digit PIN code, and then powering the device. A blinking yellow LED indicates the adding process, and a successful addition is confirmed by the Z-Wave controller's message.
The Smart Implant offers extensive configuration parameters to adapt its function to specific user needs. These parameters allow users to:
The device also features a built-in Z-Wave network range tester. This allows users to check the communication range with the main controller, indicated by different LED pulsing patterns (green for direct communication, yellow for routed communication, violet for maximum distance, red for no connection).
For maintenance and troubleshooting, the Smart Implant provides several features:
The Smart Implant is designed for continuous operation as it is powered by a DC power supply unit, meaning it is always awake and does not have a deep sleep state like battery-operated devices. This ensures consistent communication and responsiveness within the Z-Wave network.
