#6: Advanced parameters

The Button 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 configure the Button (using the hC 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.

5. Wake up the device manually to confirm changes (4 clicks).

Wake up interval

Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds, 1h - 18h)

Default setting: 0

The Button will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to

connect with the main controller. After successful communication at-

tempt, the device will update configuration 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 notification

to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed man-

ually by clicking the Button 4 times.

1. Scenes sent to the controller

This parameter determines which actions result in sending scene IDs

and attributes assigned to them.

Available settings: 1 - Key Pressed 1 time

2 - Key Pressed 2 times

4 - Key Pressed 3 times

8 - Key Pressed 4 times

16 - Key Pressed 5 times

32 - Key held Down

64 - Key Released

Default setting:

127 (all)
