What are the main features of the FIBARO FGWCEU-201?

The FIBARO FGWCEU-201 can be used for controlling multiple types of devices, e.g. switches, dimmers, roller shutters.

Pre-set configurations allow to easily adjust operation for specific type of controlled devices.

It is Battery or VDC powered.

It is equipped with a built-in temperature sensor.

It supports Z-Wave network Security Modes: S0 with AES-128 encryption and S2 Authenticated with PRNG-based encryption.

It works as a Z-Wave signal repeater when VDC powered (all non-battery operated devices within the network will act as repeaters to increase reliability of the network).

It may be used with all devices certified with the Z-Wave Plus certificate and should be compatible with such devices produced by other manufacturers.

What is the battery mode behavior for the FIBARO FGWCEU-201?

In battery mode, the device indicates commands status, but cannot receive indications from the Z-Wave controller (using Indicator CC), except for Identification.

The device needs to be woken up to change its configuration.

The battery level (in percent) is measured during every power up and periodically every 24h, the measured value is reported to the controller during every power up and when it changes by at least 5%.

To enable the battery mode, make sure that device is powered only using the battery, then add the device to the Z-Wave network (remove beforehand if already added).


How often does the built-in temperature sensor on the FIBARO FGWCEU-201 report readings?
