How to include older Fibaro Wall Plugs?

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hi,

is there any good way to include Fibaro Wall Plugs from 2018? They are Z-Wave Plus.

With those, you have to press their button fast three times, to get them into inclusion mode.

Z-Wave JS UI always times out, but the plug seems to be included half way anyways. It shows green, when I unplug it and plug it back in, what is a sign for inclusion.

But in Z-Wave JS UI it doesn’t show up until I restart the UI. Then it shows up as partially included node. (No name, not working). I have to remove it and do a factory reset on the plug to start over.

I tried this with the plug literally next to the Z-Wave controller.

You could try:
Fibaro Reset & include procedure

  • power off
  • push & hold button B
  • power on, let B go after 10 seconds and quickly push short
  • power off
  • power on

Include

  • 3x short S1

I used no security

But when I use no security, can those plugs still relay messages from security devices in the mesh network?

In my experience, re-interviewing a “unknown manufacturer / unknown product” device after inclusion sometimes helps for Z-wave JS to correctly identify it.

Setting inclusion to no security tends to help with including older devices as well. Whether or not it’ll work with your security devices remains to be seen. Of course, if it’s not properly included you can be 100% sure it doesn’t work :slight_smile:

Doesn’t work, even with no security.
