No. You do need a z-wave controller. This controller can be a USB Stick connected directly to the Home Assistant server or it could be a Vera. The most common is a USB stick or Vera. This is documented in the z-wave documentation for home assistant.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I’d like to know if you have some site or document for learning how to connect HOME ASSISTANT with FIBARO MOTION SENSOR?

Fibaro Motion Sesnor (FGMS-001) - my findings

Hey everyone, Since this device is not trivial to setup/understand, I thought I’d document my findings for posterity’s sake. Would be great if others can join and share their experience and wisdom. Note: all of this refers to the “new” device (firmware 3.2 and above, Z-Wave+ Gen 5) Inclusion: It took some hassle to get this to work right. Immediately after the inclusion all of the entities were there, but after restarting HASS they were gone, and only the binary sensor was there. After that,…

I still cannot get my Fibaro motion sensor to change any value for motion / temperature / vibration. I have no idea how to get this to work… any additional tips? Can you share what you have in your zwave XML file for the associations?
