Fibaro FGMS-001 settings

[Martinq]

I had a lot of problems to add the FGMS-001 v2.7 (Z-Wave+) to Domoticz. After reading some forumtopics noticed that the Product Type ID is 0801. But Domoticz can't find it with this ID. So I added a line in the manufacturer_specific.xml like this:

Code: Select all

<Product type="0801" id="1001" name="FGMS001 Motion Sensor" config="fibaro/fgms.xml" />

Now I can configure it, but still there are some problems. The temperature is not updated and there is a different between temperature on the temperature page and in the log. The same with the Lux. And sometimes the Fibaro stops working. While there is a movement the LED on the device is not blinking. And also it is reacting slow on movement. The LED is flashing direct when there is a movement, but in Domoticz it takes seconds to react.
Also battery level is showing already 77 while it's working for 1 day now.

See attached devices screen for the data.

Further I changed a few default settings like this:
2. Motion sensor's blind time (insensitivity): 8 (default 15)
2000. Wake-up Interval: 600 Seconds (default 7200)

Would somebody like to share his settings? I would like to have it react fast, but the sensitivity must not be so high, because I also have 2 cats

if you want a long battery life, set Lux and Temp to off or a very long interval.

Also read through the manual or https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave ... o/fgms.xml.
If f.i. Temp is not reporting you need to check parameter 64.

[Martinq]

Checking parameter 64, this is default set to 0. But the odd thing is that I didn't change this default and it was reporting for some hours yesterday, till it stopped at midnight after a reboot. Also parameter 42 was set to 0. But it is still reporting Lux.
I changed parameter 42 and 64 to 1800 (30 minuts) and will see what happens.

When I want to switch off Lux and Temp, do I have to set all the parameters to 0, or set it as Unused in the Device list?

[bbqkees]

No unused will only remove the Device from the Domoticz interface.

0 for 64 and 42 will turn them off.

[Martinq]

Guess there is something wrong. Updated 42 and 64, but still no temperature. Also not after a restart.
This are the settings:

40. Illumination report threshold: 200 (Default: 200)
42. Illumination reports interval: 1800 (Default: 0)
60. Temperature report threshold: 10 (Default: 10, = 1 degree)
62. Interval of temperature measuring: 900 (Default: 900)
64. Temperature reports interval: 1800 (Default: 0)
66. Temperature offset: 0 (Default: 0)

The FGMS001 has been last seen at 16:57:19. When I request the current stored values from the device they are like above. But in the devices page I can see that the temperature is not read (last time at 23:57 yesterday). Also some battery levels are gonne.
See below.

Temperature must been changed after yesterday evening

[Martinq]

Update:
Temperature is changed. The last seen time from the FGMS was 16:57:19, so expected to get the first reading at that time. But it was updated at 17:16:59. I have set parameter 64 to 1800 so the next update should be 30 minuts later. And it was. Looks like it works now.

Still looking for a good setting to make the response time from the sensor faster.
The parameters for the motion sensor are:

1. Motion sensor's sensitivity: 15
The lower the value, the more sensitive the PIR sensor. Available settings: 8 - 255 Default setting: 10

When I installed it, the setting was 15. But default should be 10. But like I said, don't want to have it to sensitive because of my cats. So I let it on 15.

2. Motion sensor's blind time (insensitivity): 8
Period of time through which the PIR sensor is "blind" (insensitive) to motion. After this time period the PIR sensor will be again able to detect motion. The longer the insensitivity period, the longer the battery life. If the sensor is required to detect motion quickly, the time period may be shortened. The time of insensitivity should be shorter that the time period set in parameter 6. Available settings: 0 - 15 Formula to calculate the time: time = 0.5 x (value + 1) Default setting: 15 (8 seconds)

So I shortened the time period, because I want to have the motion detect quickly.

3. PIR sensor's pulse counter: 2 pulses (default)
Sets the number of moves required for the PIR sensor to report motion. The lower the value, the less sensitive the PIR sensor. It's not recommended to modify this parameter settings. Available settings: 0 - 3 Formula to calculate the number of pulses: pulses = (value + 1) Default setting: 1 (2 pulses)

I let that default

4. PIR sensor's window time: 12 seconds (default)
Period of time during which the number of moves set in parameter 3 must be detected in order for the PIR sensor to report motion. The higher the value, the more sensitive the PIR sensor. It's not recommended to modify this parameter setting. Available settings: 0 - 3 Formula to calculate the time: time = 4 x (value + 1) Default setting: 2 (12 seconds)

This I not fully understand. It's the period of time the moves must be detected. But that means that the movement will be reported after 12 seconds? And it say the higher the value, the more sensitive the sensor will be. But I would expect when you set it to 4 seconds (lowest) it will be more sensitive.

6. Motion alarm cancellation delay: 30 (default)
Motion alarm will be cancelled in the main controller and the associated devices after the period of time set in this parameter. Any motion detected during the cancellation delay time countdown will result in the countdown being restarted. In case of small values, below 10 seconds, the value of parameter 2 must be modified (PIR sensor's "Blind Time"). Available settings: 1 - 65535 Default setting: 30 (30 seconds)

This I kept default too. Somebody able to help me with this settings? Or share his settings

I'am testing die FGMS too and have it running for 1 oder 2 weeks now but the Battery reports "low"
I think my settings are "OK"
64 temperaure = 3600 sekunds
and illumination reports 3600 sekunds too
If i go higher i can even disable it because is is useless.

Maybe its only the Battery that was nearly empty bevor i insert it but i can't believe.

How did you manage that Domoticz displays the Battery in percentage?
I get only a "low".

[LightsOnLightsOff]

So after reading viewtopic.php?t=6059 everythng ist fine. Battery is back at 100% and Domoticz displays the leven in Percent and not "low"

[Gravityz]

to increase batterylife you may want so disable all reports
set report interval for temp and lux to 3600

set temp report threshold to 3(int will report any changes of .3c)
set lux threshold to 100 lux

this way the unit only reports if there is something usefull to report.
you still get all the data you want but if thee are less changes your batterylife will go much longer

so no change no report no power being used.
lots of changes lots of changes, lots of reports

also disable polling on the device

I bought 2 of these sensors, but now i need to know what items i can use and what the others are for?
See picture below:

FGMS001.jpg (75.25 KiB) Viewed 7731 times

* alarm type
* alarm level
* sensor
* burglar
* general
* lux
* temp

lux and temp is ok, i know what they mean

i was thinking: 'sensor' will go on when it detects motion, but this isn't the case, if you check the 'last seen' values
'alarm type' and 'alarm level' and 'burglar' are going on when detecting motion

anyone can explain me what the other items are for and wich one i need to choose to detect motion?

Thank you!

[ropske]

seems they are not reporting motion when they are in the dark?
i'm planning to use them as a security device, when the door opens in night for example it must detect motion.
hopefully it's a configuration setting that is not ok?
someone has some help for me?

[happer66]

I have one controlling my kitchen light and I can't sneak past it, not even to grab a beer out of the fridge.
By using (more or less) the default configuration you should be able to get BASIC ON/OFF command frames from your 'sensor device' (idx 150 on your screenshot), burglar/alarm will likely be getting OFF commands mostly (that's technically not correct, but let's not go there in this post).

Try adding a light/switch to group 1 (I think that group gets the basic commands by default...), and it should be able to turn it on then off after a while.

If it doesn't work, you might have changed some settings - try reverting a few params back to their defaults:
Set param 1 to 10 (default motion sensitivity - or close enough), param 8 to 0 (pir always active!)
Param 12 to 0 (to get basic on/off sent to group 1), param 14 to 255, param 16 to 0 (simple switches&lights will interpret 255 as 'on' and 0 as 'off')

That should detect you... unless you're a ghost or have the same body temperature as a brick wall

If you're really after the alarm stuff, I'm afraid I can't be much help there.
But unless you have smoke-, co2-, water-detectors and want to determine exactly what type of alarm it is, and handle it accordingly - you should be all set! ...it will still detect a non-smoking burglar!

Do you still see "Burglar" getting triggered when detecting Motion ?
