The [Fibaro](http://fibaro.com) hub is a controller mainly connecting to Z-Wave devices.

Switches, Lights (including Dimmers), Locks, Sensors, Binary sensors and Covers are supported - and will be automatically added when HA connects to your Fibaro controller.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use Fibaro devices in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file using the IP and port number of your Fibaro controller:

```yaml
fibaro:
  url: http://192.168.1.161/api/
  username: your_username
  password: your_password
```

{% configuration %}
url:
  description: The URL for your Fibaro HomeCenter device.
  required: true
  type: url
username:
  description: The username for your Fibaro account.
  required: true
  type: string
password:
  description: The password for your Fibaro account.
  required: true
  type: string
plugins:
  description: Whether to import plugin-generated devices from Fibaro HomeCenter, such as Netatmo and Sonos devices, etc. Default is false.
  required: false
  type: bool
{% endconfiguration %}

<p class='note'>
  It is recommended to assign a static IP address to your Fibaro Controller. This ensures that it won't change IP addresses, 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.

### {% linkable_title 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 the <img src='/images/screenshots/developer-tool-states-icon.png' alt='service developer tool icon' class="no-shadow" height="38" /> icon of the Developer Tools section. Look for entities that contain 'Fibaro Device Id' in their attributes, and you'll find the entity id on the left.
