What You'll Need

Fibaro Wall Plug
Z-Wave smart home hub (SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant, Fibaro Home Center, etc.)
Standard 120V outlet

Step-by-Step Setup

Plug in the Fibaro Wall Plug. The LED ring around the button will glow to confirm power.
Put your hub in inclusion mode.
Click the button on the Wall Plug once. The LED ring will change during the pairing process.
Wait for your hub to confirm the device has been paired.
Configure parameters through your hub's device settings. The Fibaro Wall Plug has many configurable options for power reporting, LED colors, and safety limits.

Z-Wave Plus certified
Comprehensive energy metering: power (watts), cumulative consumption (kWh), voltage, and current
RGB LED ring that changes color based on power consumption level
Premium, compact design with a polished aesthetic
Works with any Z-Wave hub
Overload protection with configurable thresholds
Acts as a Z-Wave repeater

The Fibaro Wall Plug's LED ring is designed to give you a visual reading of power consumption at a glance:

The ring automatically changes color based on how much power the connected device is drawing.
By default, low power shows as green/blue and transitions through yellow to red as consumption increases.
The color thresholds and specific colors are configurable through Z-Wave parameters. You can customize exactly which power levels correspond to which colors.
You can also set the ring to a fixed color or turn it off entirely if you prefer.

Visual monitoring: Place the Fibaro Wall Plug on a high-draw device and glance at the LED ring to see if it is running normally (green) or drawing more than expected (red).
Appliance protection: Set the overload threshold just above the normal operating wattage of an expensive appliance. If something goes wrong and power draw spikes, the plug cuts power automatically.
Home energy tracking: The detailed kWh tracking integrates well with Home Assistant's energy dashboard for long-term consumption analysis.

Pairing issues: If inclusion fails, exclude the device first. Press and hold the button for about 5 seconds to start the exclusion process while your hub is in exclusion mode. Then try including again.
LED ring colors seem wrong: The colors are tied to power consumption thresholds that you can adjust through Z-Wave parameters. Check the Fibaro documentation for the specific parameter numbers for your hub.
Energy readings seem inaccurate: Calibrate the plug through the advanced configuration parameters. Also make sure the plug is connected directly to a wall outlet rather than through a power strip.
Factory reset: The reset procedure involves a triple-click sequence while excluding the device from your Z-Wave network. Check the Fibaro manual for the exact sequence, as it varies slightly by firmware version.
Overload shuts off unexpectedly: The overload threshold may be set too low for your connected device. Check the parameter settings and increase the threshold if the connected appliance's normal draw is within the plug's rated capacity.
