Hi Zeid, Confirmed...that's it!

Hi Oarman, There is just one crystal with cylindrical form on the board. It must have a 32768 mark on it.....this is the one - marked in red. BR Nick

Hi Ace02, This way worked for me....I think your problem is the same. DIY, because it is hard to send forw/back for replacement. It is very easy to replace....just buy a 32768 Hz 10-30ppm crystal and solder it. BR Nick

Hi Tinman, Thanks for the advice about hardware check. I investigated the hardware and found out that the crystal is dead. I replaced the 32768 crystal with a new one and the RTC is working in both manual or NTP mode. To all with frozen RTC:.....If your battery is OK ( > 2.5V ), please replace the crystal with 32768 Hz +/-30ppm SMD one. BR Nick

Sorry guys, Wrong info. The HCL has not been fixed...sorry, my mistake. It now shows 1.1.1970 without any blackouts. I think the Fibaro support team hasn't fixed it although I gave them a free access to the HCL via the TeamViewer. This is not fair and I think the Fibaro support team must pay serious attention tho their "support" !!! Either they don't know how to fix it or there is a big mess in the firmware. I got angry and I feel really sorry I have given my money for that device and the peripheral modules. Nick

Hi guys, The Fibaro support team ( [email protected] ) fixed the issue via TeamViewer. For users, who still have that problem....just ask the support team to fix it remotely. I really hope the bug will be fixed in the next firmware release, as it is not a hardware problem. BR Nick

Hi guys, I'm from Bulgaria and have the same problem with HCL RTC ( real time clock ). I measured the battery voltage and it was 0.62V. Then I replaced it with fresh one, but the RTC is still frozen.....2.1.1970 and doesn't work with either manual or via Internet. Then I removed the battery , it start working.....it can be manually set or via Internet, but when I insert the battery, it freezes again. I also replaced the PCF8523 chip on my SMT rework station with a new one, but the problem with the new one is absolutely the same. That means the problem is in the firmware. I wish the Fibaro support/software team pay attention to this issue and will fix it in the next firmware release candidate. BR Nick

Hi guys, Thanks to Maciej from Fibaro team, the problem has been solved. Now I have access to my HCL via Fibaro cloud. The topic can be closed as solved. BR Nick

Hi guys, Thanks. I just e-mailed a photo to Fibaro team and will wait for a solution. BR Nick

Hi guys, I have the following issue when I try to obtain Fibaro ID: 1. After registering for Fibaro ID, I don't see my HCL in the list. When I try to register my HCL, the system says it has been already registered; 2. Maybe some time ago I had registered my HCL, but I neither find the e-mail and the password or delete my previous HCL registration. The system offers to use my old pass, but it is a stupid loop!!!!!!! 3. I sent an e-mail to the Fibaro support but have no reply. Please advice how to proceed? Best regards Nick

Hi PeterG, Can you please guide me with a link or some explanations about using/writing the authorization string? Thanks in advance Nick

Here are the dropbox links: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rqdzwxdh81wuzxy/HCL-NodeMCU-01.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ftu0uojbyq3lnv6/HCL-NodeMCU-02.png?dl=0 Also you have to set static IP for your NodeMCU in your router. ....the only thing I have to find out is how to read NodeMCU data with Fibaro HCL ???????......anybody to help with??????????????

! PROBLEM SOLVED ! A simple power disconnect for 10 seconds and then powering again the HCL fixed the issue. It seems that a simple HCL warm reset is not enough ....... any explanations?
