The Fibaro Motion Sensor is a Security Enabled 

Z-Wave Plus product and a Security Enabled 

Z-Wave Controller must be used in order to fully 

utilize the product.

- Compatible with any Z-Wave+ controller.

- Works with other Z-Wave network devices, but as a battery 

  device it doesn’t take part in signal routing.

- Supports protected mode (Z-Wave network security mode) with 

  AES-128 encryption.

- Detects motion using a passive IR sensor.

- Measures the temperature.

- Measures the light intensity.

- Easy installation on a wall or any surface.

- Protected against tampering and theft - once vibrations are 

  detected, the notification is sent to the main controller.

- Alarms of movement and temperature are signaled by LED diode 

  blinking.

- Simple earthquake detector mode.

Fibaro Motion Sensor cannot be pointed at any source of heat (e.g. 

radiators, fireplaces, cookers, etc.) or at any source of light (direct 

sunlight, lamps). 

It’s not recommended to install the Motion Sensor in places prone to 

drafts and rooms with rapid fluctuations in air temperature. Sensor 

can be mounted using the included screw or the sticker.

Fibaro Motion Sensor allows for association of five groups:

1st Association Group „Lifeline” is a reporting group, assigned to 

the device status. Main Z-Wave+ network controller should be added 

to this group. The „Lifeline” group can handle only one device. If 

Fibaro Motion Sensor operates in protected mode, outgoing 

messages are always encrypted.
2nd Association Group „Motion” is assigned to the motion sensor. 

At the moment of motion detection or alarm state cancellation, nodes 

added to this group will receive control frames. The „Motion” group 

can handle up to five devices (one or multi-channel). If Fibaro Motion 

Sensor operates in protected mode, outgoing messages are 

encrypted, depending on whether the added node also operates in 

secure mode.
3rd Association Group „Tamper” is assigned to the tamper alarm. 

Once tampering is detected or cancelled,  nodes added to this group 

will receive alarm frames. The „Tamper” group can handle up to five 

devices (one or multi-channel). If Fibaro Motion Sensor operates in 

protected mode, outgoing messages are always encrypted.
4th Association Group „Motion BC” is assigned to the motion 

sensor. Once motion is detected or alarm state cancelled, nodes 

added to this group will receive report frames.  This group aims to 

provide backward compatibility with controllers not supporting the 

Z-Wave+ protocol. Only a main controller not supporting the 

Z-wave+ protocol should be added to this group. The „Motion BC” 

group can handle up to five devices (one or multi-channel). If Fibaro 

Motion Sensor operates in protected mode, outgoing messages are 

always encrypted.
5th Association Group „Tamper BC” is assigned to the tamper 

alarm. Once tampering is detected or cancelled, nodes added to this 

group will receive alarm frames. This group aims to provide 

backward compatibility with devices not supporting the Z-Wave+ 

protocol. Only nodes not supporting the Z-wave+ protocol should be 

added to this group. The „Tamper BC” group can handle up to five 

devices (one or multi-channel). If Fibaro Motion Sensor operates in 

protected mode, outgoing messages are always encrypted.

The Fibaro Motion Sensor allows for controlling 5 regular and 5 

multichannel devices per an association group, out of which 1 field is 

reserved for the Z-Wave network main controller.

Fibaro Motion Sensor can be configured to work as a simple 

earthquake detector, by setting the Parameter 24 value to 4. Reports 

with scale of the vibrations (in the Modified Mercalli Scale) will be 

sent at the time intervals specified in Parameter 22. First report will 

be sent immediately after vibrations have been detected. The 

minimum value of the vibrations, resulting in report being sent, can 

be defined in Parameter 20. Once the vibrations cease, reports will 

stop being sent. The Home Center 2 menu presents the earthquake 

detector measurements in the following way:

The Fibaro Motion Sensor has a built-in accelerometer. When the 

value of parameter 24 is set to 2 or 3, Z-Wave network controller will 

be informed on the Sensor’s orientation in space by sending report 

after triggering tamper alarm.

The Fibaro Motion Sensor is equipped with a LED diode for 

indicating sensor’s operating modes and alarms. In addition the LED 

indicator may inform of the Z-Wave network range and the current 

temperature.

LED indicator modes:

1) Motion Alarm’s colour will vary depending on the temperature. The 

colour and the signaling mode can be set in parameter 80.

2)  Tamper alarm is signaled with an alternating blinking in LAPD 

colours (red - blue - white).

3)  The Z-Wave Node Info command frame is signaled with glowing 

in blue. Node Info command frame is sent each time the device 

wakes up.

To enter MENU press and hold the B-button for 3 seconds. MENU 

levels will be signaled with the LED colours:

- VIOLET - Z-Wave network range tester

- YELLOW - sensor reset.

The Fibaro Motion Sensor has a built in Z-Wave network main 

controller’s range tester. Follow the below instructions to test the 

main controller’s range:

1) Press and hold the B-button for 2 to 4 seconds until the LED glows 

violet.

2) Release the B-button.

3) Press the B-button again, briefly.

4) LED will indicate the Z-Wave network’s range (range signaling 

modes described below).

5) To exit Z-Wave range test, press the B-button briefly.

By using association with Fibaro’s devices the Fibaro Motion Sensor 

may control another Z-Wave network device, e.g. a Dimmer, Relay 

Switch, Roller Shutter, RGBW Controller, Wall Plug, or a scene 

(scene only through the Home Center 2 main controller).

Fibaro Motion Sensor’s detection area is shown in diagram #6.

Fibaro Motion Sensor has to be installed in a corner of the room or 

perpendicularly to the doors.

Actual range of the sensor can be influenced by environment 

conditions. If false motion alarms are reported, check for any moving 

objects within the sensor’s detection area, such as trees blowing in 

the wind, cars passing by, windmills. False motion alarms may be 

caused by moving masses of air and heat as well. If the device 

keeps on reporting false alarms, despite eliminating all of the 

above-mentioned factors, install the device in another place.

The Fibaro Motion Sensor reset erases the memory, including all 

information on the Z-Wave network and the main controller.

Fibaro Motion Sensor reset procedure:

1) Make sure the battery works and is in place.

2) Press and hold the B-button for 4-6 seconds until the LED glows 

yellow signaling the 2nd option of the menu mode.

3) Release the B-button.

4) Again, press the B-button briefly.
Successful reset will be confirmed with the LED changing colour to 

red and fading.
Please use this procedure only in the event that the system primary 

controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Motion, temperature and light intensity values are presented in 

Home Center 2 menu with the following icons:

Association allows for direct communication 

between Z-Wave network devices. Main controller 

does not take part in such communication. Using this 

mechanism, Fibaro Motion Sensor may communica-

te with other devices even when the main controller 

is damaged, e.g. in case of fire.

Fibaro Motion Sensor has a bulit in motion detector, temperature 

sensor and light intensity sensor, which make it a multi-channel 

device. In the Home Center 2 menu it will be presented as three 

devices, depending on the main controller software version. The 

sensor supports the secure mode. In this mode messages are 

encrypted, improving Z-Wave network safety level.

STICKER

The Fibaro Motion Sensor is a battery-powered 

device. Dispose of properly, observing environmen-

tal protection rules.

Using batteries other than specified may result in 

explosion.

Use only batteries recommended by the manufactu-

rer and intended for use in the device. Using other 

batteries can be considered as breach of warranty 

terms.  

Fibaro Motion Sensor may be included in protected 

mode (Z-Wave network security mode). In this mode 

communication takes place via encrypted 

messages. This improves the operating safety and 

reduces risk of unauthorized access to Z-Wave 

network and devices working within its range. 

Devices in protected mode can work together with 

standard mode devices.

The primary function of Fibaro Motion Sensor is motion detection. 

The detector is a passive IR sensor. Motion Sensor operating 

parameters have been selected carefully and should not be changed 

by the user. However, it is possible to change sensitivity of the device 

by modifying parameter 1. You can also modify motion alarm 

cancellation delay with parameter 6.

Fibaro Motion Sensor has a built-in light sensor. Reports on the 

current light intensity are always sent to main Z-Wave network 

controller. Report can be triggered by change in light intensity 

(parameter 40) or after a specified time (parameter 42).

Fibaro Motion Sensor has a built-in temperature sensor. Reports on 

the current temperature level are always sent to main Z-Wave 

network controller. Report can be triggered by the change in 

temperature (parameter 60) or after a specified time (parameter 64).

Fibaro Motion Sensor has a tamper alarm, used to signal an attempt 

to dismantle the device. The main Z-Wave controller and other 

Z-Wave network devices are notified about tampering. The 

sensitivity of the tamper alarm may be modified in parameter 20.

When Fibaro Motion Sensor operates in secure mode, outgoing 

messages are encrypted, depending on whether the added node 

also works in secure mode.
