UHAS OVERVIEW
- UHAS has been developed for the Fibaro Home Centre 2 (HC2) home automation controller, as a series of modules, which are responsible for one particular action or job, and the user can interact with them as a group, or on their own.
- UHAS provides an advanced Home Automation (HA) set of features, ready to be used out of the box with minimum user effort to set up and run. Running code is provided as part of the system, doing most of the settings for the user or a systems installer.
- UHAS is primarily intended to be used by users of the Fibaro HC2 system who wish to have fully featured HA without the need to learn LUA programming and spending a lot of time with coding Virtual Devices and scenes.
- UHAS can also become a part of a mature Fibaro system installation which has developed with many modules to cover more advanced HA and more devices.
- UHAS Virtual Devices and scenes use proprietary code developed by author. This code is developed to minimise users involvement in installation and setting of the system. Most of the necessary setting is done by the UHAS components and other settings are simplified and minimised as much as possible. This was also possible because all UHAS VD's and scenes use role system that is used to find necessary components for actions to be performed.
- UHAS Virtual devices category is set automatically during translation or changing of the main icon. This means that most of the VD's should show in proper category in new mobile app as lights, blinds, gates, ambience, climate, safety, security, multimedia, remotes and other. The same goes for scenes, when scenes save their settings after first manual run then also category is set.

INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE
- NEW USERS - Please download provided UHAS v1.0.3 Installation package and UHAS Installation and User Manual v1.0.3 EN
-
EXISTING USERS - if your UHAS is:
- Not yet started with installation then please download full package UHAS v1.0.3 Installation package and install.
- Still on v1.0 or V1.0.1 then please first download UHAS v1.02. upgrade package and install. Lastly download and install UHAS v1.03. upgrade package
- Installed v1.0.2 then please download UHAS v1.03. upgrade package and install.
NOTE - Upgrade instructions are provided in UHAS Installation and User Manual v1.0.3 EN
ADDITIONAL NOTE - In UHAS Installation and User Manual v1.0.3 EN instructions for ALC scene upgrade say:
UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS – This upgrade is recommended. To upgrade and keep your ALC Scene settings please copy new code from ALC Scene v1.3.3.lua from line:
-- NEW v1.3.3 - copy code from here to the end of scene code to keep your settings above this line
to the end of code.
The mentioned line I forget to add to the code before making upgrade package, therefore please copy new code from line:
-- THE CODE BELOW DOES NOT REQUIRE MODIFICATION BY THE USER to the end of code. Thanks goes to @MiZ for pointing that out 🙏
IMPORTANT NOTE
UHAS uses its own unique global code variables. This means that UHAS will NOT influence the current system scenes, scripts, or virtual devices in any way, even if any of Sankotronic’s earlier UHAS beta versions and standalone scenes or VD's (Virtual Devices) are being used. There is no need for any changes to be made to the existing code before the installation of UHAS. The UHAS global variables are created and controlled automatically by the system so that you do not need to maintain them manually.
