Figure 3: The FIBARO Wall Plug is compatible with a wide range of Z-Wave hubs, including FIBARO, Hubitat, SmartThings, and others.
Nota: While compatible with many Z-Wave gateways for basic on/off control and USB charging, advanced features like detailed energy monitoring and scene automation may require specific device handlers or controllers (e.g., FIBARO HC2/HCL, SmartThings, Nexin, Vera, URC, Zipato, HomeSeer).
3. Operating the FIBARO Wall Plug
3.1 Remote Control and Manual Operation
- Comandament a distància: Use your Z-Wave controller's interface (mobile app or web portal) to switch the connected appliance on or off.
- Control manual: Press the button on the Wall Plug to manually toggle the power to the connected appliance.
3.2 Energy Monitoring and LED Ring
The Wall Plug continuously monitors the power consumption of the connected device. The LED ring provides a visual indication of the current load:
- The color of the LED ring changes based on the power consumption.
- Access detailed consumption data (current, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, total) through your Z-Wave controller's application.
