Fibaro
The Fibaro hub is a controller mainly connecting to Z-Wave devices.
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
- Binary Sensor
- Cover
- Climate
- Light
- Lock
- Sensor
- Scene
- Switch
They will be automatically added when the fibaro hub is connected to Home Assistant.
Configuration
Adding Fibaro to your Home Assistant instance can be done via the user interface, by using this My button:
If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:
-
Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
-
In the sidebar click on Settings.
-
From the configuration menu select: Devices & Services.
-
In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.
-
From the list, search and select “Fibaro”.
-
Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.
It is recommended to assign a static IP address to your Fibaro controller. This ensures that it won’t change its IP address, so you won’t have to change the url if the controller reboots and comes up with a different IP address. See your router’s manual for details on how to set this up. If you need the MAC address of your Fibaro, check the label on the bottom.
Using Z-Wave devices in automation
If you want to use a Z-Wave device from the Fibaro controller in Home Assistant automation, you’ll need the entity id. In the Home Assistant UI you’ll find all entities listed under Developer Tools -> States. Look for entities that contain ‘fibaro_id’ in their attributes, and you’ll find the entity id on the left.
