change their location, turn them on or o, and view their statuses,
History –a register/record of events that occur in your whole FIBARO system,
Scenes –a list of all scenes in your system that allows to start scenes and view their status,
Climate –a list of all heating and cooling schedules in your system. It allows to view their status or
quickly set them to manual/vacation mode,
Additionally, in the lowerleft-handcorner, there are four more views that you may nd important if you
want to congure your system, something doesnot work properly or you want better insight in the gateway
operations.
Settings – a list of settings grouped into over a dozencategories, in which you can adjust the operation
of the FIBARO System to your needs.
Console –a real-time log of operations happening at the gateway, e.g. adding Z-Wave devices, removing
Z-Wave devices, changing parameters, setting associations,
API documentation – access to interactive REST API documentation interface (Swagger) for the gateway,
Support–direct access to the FIBARO Support page.
Interface color theme
The Conguration Interface allows to choose between two color themes: light or dark. The theme can be
changed manually or automatically based on the sunrise/sunset hours for the location.
To change color theme manually:
1Open the Conguration Interface.
2In top right corner click .
3Choose Light/Dark Theme to change the theme.
To change color theme automatically (besed on sunrise/sunset hours):
1Open the Conguration Interface.
Back To Top
2In top right corner click .
3Choose Account Settings from the menu.
4Change Theme switching modesetting toAuto.
Console
The gateway has an all-new console that can provide detailed information about ongoing processes
concerning the Z-Wave network, Quick Apps, and scenes. This means that the new console aggregates all
messages pushed by “print”, “debug”, “trace”, “warning”, “error” methods, whether they originate from a
scene, a Quick App, or Z-Wave, e.g. general notications, adding, removing.
Console overview
The Console is accessible from the sidebar. Click to unfold the console.
The console consists of 5 main elements:
1 – down arrow to hide the console,
2 – “Find” eld to search for the phrase in the content of messages,
3 – “Tag” eld to lter messages to show only those connected to the chosen, tag,
4 – “Type” eld to lter messages according to their types: debug, trace, warning, error,
5 – reset button to clear the search and lter parameters.
Using tags for better console management
Console logs may be lled with dierent messages which may not interest us at the moment. To narrow
down the messages to the interesting ones we may introduce tags in our scenes and Quick Apps to quickly
nd the right messages in the log.
Tags and Quick Apps
Quick Apps create tags automatically, e.g. QUICKAPP263, where 263 is the Quick App ID. However, it doesn’t
mean you cannot create any new tags as you see t.
Tags and Scenes
Scenes fallback to the default tag which is created on the basis of the scene ID, e.g. SCENE54.
That is why any output from that scene to the console will be tagged as SCENE + scene ID.
You can change the tag by specifying the rst parameter in the baro.debug function, e.g.
baro.debug(‘Your Tag’, ‘Content’).
Tags and Z-Wave
Filtering console logs may be useful while adding, removing, or reconguring Z-Wave devices. Setting tag to
Z-Wave ensures that only Z-Wave related messages will be displayed in the console.

Back To Top
Beware!
Filtering with a tag is possible only after the rst use of a given tag. That is why, if you want to catch some
operations done by action with a given tag, you need to send a test message rst so you will be able to
choose the given tag.

6Follow instructions of the device.
There are a few adding options you can choose in the Add Device window:
Options you can choose:
Device is located far from the gateway (disable it for more security),
NWI – Network-Wide inclusion (useful for devices that are not near the gateway, but withing networks
range),
Add in security mode if device supports it.
You can also set Learning mode duration – how much time you will have to perform the adding procedure
on the device.

5Click which appeared in place of .
6Conrm the action.
7The gateway will try to communicate with the device. If the device responds, the process will by
canceled, otherwise it will be removed from the system.
Associations
Associations allow devices to control other devices directly within the Z-Wave network without the
participation of the main gateway. Devices such as Dimmer, Switch, Roller Shutter, RGBW Controller can
continue to work and operate selected devices even when the main gateway is damaged or turned o (in
case of a re, ood, or system malfunction). You can read more about associationshere
(https://manuals.baro.com/knowledge-base-browse/associations/).
Setting associations
1Open the Conguration Interface.
2Go to > Devices.
3Click the device you want to associate.
4Open Associations tab.
5Select the source EndPoint and Group of the association appropriate for your needs.
6Select the device you want to associate with.
7Click to set the association.
8If the device is battery powered, wake it up manually or wait for next automatic wake up.
Parameters
FIBARO devices allows to customize their operation to user’s needs using congurable parameters. The
settings can be adjusted via Z-Wave controller to which the device is added. In the FIBARO interface
parameters are presented as simple options in Advanced Settings of the device.
Setting parameters for the device
1Open the Conguration Interface.
2Go to > Devices.
3Click the device you want to change its behavior.
4Open the Parameters tab.

7Click Save when you nish.
8If the device is battery powered, wake it up manually or wait for next automatic wake up.
If the device changes conguration, you will be asked to refresh the screen.
Copying parameters from other device
Conguration of the device can be copied from another device with the same parameters list.
1Open the Conguration Interface.
Back To Top
2Go to > Devices.
3Click the device you want to copy the parameters to.
4Open the Parameters tab.
5In the Copy conguration from eld choose device you want to copy the parameters from.
6Click COPY.
7Save parameters.
8If the device is battery powered, wake it up manually or wait for next automatic wake up.
If the device changes conguration, you will be asked to refresh the screen.
Linked devices
Linked Devices combine several devices into one device. Using this function results in controlling the group
of related devices as if they were one single device. The group will be presented in the interfaces as a single
device. The gateway oers dierent Linked Devices types: Thermostats, Humidiers, Video Gates, Switches,
Blinds and Sprinklers.
Thermostats
Heating systems present at our homes are quite complex and they often do not oer any smart home
capabilities natively. That’s why you can create a Linked Device, which can act as the given Thermostat.
How does the linked device work?
When you choose the main device for the thermostat it means that the actions of the switches selected in
the Linked Device will depend on the readings from the main device.
Depending on the selected devices, dierent operating modes will be available.If you select a device
(Switch/Wall Plug) as a heating device only, the linked device will support modes only for heating.If you
select devices for cooling as well, then the Linked Device supports more modes, i.e.: Heat, Cool, Auto, O.
Creating Thermostats
How to set schedules for this thermostat?
Heating schedule for this Linked Device is accessible in Climate panel.
You can read more about it in the Climate Schedules section.
Humidiers/Dehumidiers
There are many devices on the market which helps in humidifying or dehumidifying. However, these devices
may not be smart, nor equipped with Z-Wave radio. Using Linked Devices enables us to create the Humidity
Device which can still regulate the humidity at your home.
