  1. Thanks, I'm sure we all look forward to it ! Cheers, al.
  2. @A.Socha Love my HC3, it's a good unit. It would be nice for us your loyal users, to be able to vote on what we want/need, and then the priorities would be aligned with the users ? Similar to a long time ago in the old forum for HC2, I ran a QA and Wish poll unofficially, but know that it got some traction. This would give everyone a clear indication of the focus within obvious caveats .. and allow you to define rough timelines for each of the priorities. There is no point in you tipping resources into an area that few people really need, before something that everyone wants Just a thought. Cheers, al.
  3. @A.Socha Thanks for the assist. I think it would be good to note it seems the HC3 only talks with Google after HC2 is deactivated as you can't unlink from in HC2 can you ? That was the only other change, decommissioning HC2. Thanks again, cheers, al.
  4. Hmm, for me it was integrations and making sure it was selected .. I assume .. I did also decommission my HC2 so maybe ? that is literally the only other thing I did yesterday .. I'll try tonight when I get home ( 8 hrs from now ) to unlink and re-link step by step and see if I did anything else. Mine also threw the same something went wrong wrong a couple of times before I logged into the id.fibaro and did the integrations. I guess the take away from this at this stage is that it works on HC3, just need to work out why it's not .. which is better than wondering if it is an issue and wondering if it is worth investing time to solve ! I don't know where Elfy David and Eric hail from but Flipsy and yourself are in Hungary so maybe there is something there that needs to be fixed .. ? @A.Socha Hi, long time no chat, and I don't know if you are still active in the forums, but, is there anything Google wise that needs to be fixed in Hungary ? or should it be all good ? Cheers, al.
  5. @Elfy, @DavidFormoso, @EricTenHarkel, @Szabolcs Iklodi, @Flipsy Yep, You can try selecting integrations on the HC3 cloud login page. It works, and is as far as I can tell with limited testing so far, working fine. I'll be back home in a little while to go through further. On the id.cloud.fibaro.com page find this .. and select integrations active .. I think this is the key step ; Then from memory as I wasn't expecting it to work .. Go into your google home app Tap account Then assistant settings Then assistant and Then home control select add then search for fibaro select and add it It populates and away it goes. Good luck, Cheers, al.
  6. Bit old sorry, but, I assumed it was a newer Z+ talking to old chipset. I only noticed it in relation to newer items, assumed they were trying to be more clever than HC2 .. but all totally anecdotal. Cheers, al.
  7. Morning, I've just picked up my HC3 as an old HC2 user here in Au. It's got some way to go, but if you are going to be sticking with Fibaro, and the controller you are looking at upgrading isn't mission critical, then I would suggest getting one whenever you can afford it, Oh and make sure you will have some time to get to know it. I have replaced the HC2 in my home as it was getting unpredictable, it's local, and it isn't mission critical to me. The old unit was unreliable enough that even if it isn't fully functional it will be less stress. My Home HC2 was very old though. The one at the farm I will wait until things are improved, and more is implemented and stable before upgrading as it controls some high end kit, I'm very comfortable with it, I have some complex scenes that I will need to rewrite, and I use it remote. The hardest part for me is recreating my old, and developing new scenes, block and LUA have both changed, and learning how not to do what you are used to, in conjunction with not knowing if something is fully implemented yet, is super painful at times. Downsides for me ; Having no Google integration is painful, I became very used to asking little miss to turn my lights on and off or run a scene. It's not working and is supposed to be.Got it working It is still riddled with annoying things. A lot of the functionality isn't all there yet. It is basically the old roller coaster that some of us are used to, the dizzying highs and the terrifying lows, of expectation v reality. Upsides; Transfer of most devices was pretty painless for me. I had to tweak a few and remove/add a couple of weird bits I have. Each new release and update is exciting again. ( what will be fixed what will be broken ) Speed & range are vastly improved. The HC3 is, comparative to my old unit, super responsive and the additional range of the upgraded chipset is welcomed. The new interface is .. painful, but only took a short while for me to get comfortable with and I think of that as an improvement now. The future of the unit is pretty solid, once we all start to get onboard with it and start pushing it, it will be a killer unit. As with the old one, Fibaro aren't going to win a lot of fanboi's until the community starts to make it into something special. That's my 2¢ Cheers, al.
  8. Well I'm back, been crook, been better, and now apparently as good as I'll get, so here I am .. HC3 coming very soon ! w00t !

  9. Hi, funny you should mention it, I just last week ordered a new board. Expect it in a couple of weeks, and will be giving it another crack ! I'll let you know how I go. the support here for the integra is almost non existant though, and the dude who has some association here in Au doesn't respond, so I'm talking to a mob in Eu and freighting it over. The DSC might be a better option here in Au based on my experience from a support point of view. Cheers, al.
  10. Exactly as Jamie says, a physical failure is a physical failure. I've got one at the moment that turns on for 10 seconds and turns off, I really need to get up in the roof and find it and change it out ! Cheers al.
  11. Hi @Chrisjcbt, I've got a partial integration with a Satel, but I have broken board to replace before i recommend anything. Satel and Fibaro are good mates by all accounts, and the integration is supposed to be pretty tight. Also the Satel product range is large, so most anything you want to get for it you can and worth exploring. Cheers, al.

    Alarm

    Hi @Sjd101 .. what brand of door window sensors ? The Fibaro ones I have and the older Aeotec ones I have don't make any sound ? Curiouser and Curiouser ! Cheers, al.
  13. hi @krakow, no I havent even gotten the alram working by itself, let alone integrated with fibaro ! I've had a couple of other projects to finish up, then I thought I'd bite the bullet and get a new board, as I think the one supplied is no good .. Cheers, al.
  14. So an update following .. erm .. the latest beta update :) Fibaro have in my opinion nailed the backups issue that has been worriesome for a long time. It's an elegant and effective implementation ( that still needs a few tweaks ) and shows a commitment behind the scenes. I also think the amount of moderation and the volume of response on the forum has been significantly improved of late, and I think they all deserve a round of applause for their work on the 4.503B Thanks Fibaro, you are making it easier and easier to support a product we love.
