Igy

Nice post. Im Fibaro user for more than 4 years. Until now I didn't find better solution. However, last week I think I did. Its not so nice in terms of UI, but area it rocks in is simplicity of setup, interoperable compatibility and easiness of creating all scenes and conditions for all kind of home automation. Im talking about Homey. I hate the way the UI looks, but Im amazed how nice is the system manageable. So far (after 3 days only) didn't find single use case that wouldn't be replicable from my previous Fibaro installation (70 devices, lighting, irrigation, heating, other appliance control, energy metering), beside IP camera support. Pretty fast responses when controlling over the google home, option to sent http get request to launch flows and also quite a big community. Lets see how it goes in few weeks, HC2 will wait in the shelf meanwhile

I discovered an issue with temperature display. Temperature readings are OK and correctly displayed in mobile apps and tablet and correctly used in scenes/heating panel, however in web interface temperature display is steady and not reflecting reality. E.g. Fibaro smoke sensor tem is 23,5C but in web interface its 22 and not changing. I removed and added device, but problem persist. Version 4.540. Same with Fibaro motion sensors and door sensors.

I was considering it, but from economic perspective it doesn't fly. Regular battery last for 1,5 year and costs 2-3€. Rechargeable costs 9€ + price of the charger. That means, that I would need 5+ years to have payback on it not counting the discomfort of more frequent battery change-charge. I thing in that time period, new technology will be available with much longer battery life ..

Known issue. I have this since ever (more than 2 years). Anyway, not a big deal, values are reported correctly.

I'm running both without issues in parallel. Did you try to connect in local network with the old one?

I prefer functionality before design and Im not sure whether this new layout will provide same comfort as the old one. Too much scrolling is needed, missing overview page where you can see consumption and status of all rooms etc...

I'm in the beta testing program, I think a few months ago I asked Fibaro to include me in it in some occasion. OK, so far it seems to be huge step back for more complex installations. No heating settings, no camera support yet and the way how to navigate to specific device is little bit more complicated than before.

New version is available for beta testers in google play. Im going to try it...

It seems to be common problem of newer Fibaro motion sensors. You need to decrease sensitivity (increase parameter 1 value).

Sure, thats a correct way. Thats why I said, that this is easy, but not recommended Not everyone has voltmeter to measure 2 phases available and electrician handy...

If they are not, they should blow out your fuse or damage dimmer. Its not possible to combine different phases into one circuit. Easy but not reccomended test is to connect live wire of C1 with C2. If nothing will happen, than its the same cicuit. In other case you will shut the cicuit breaker of the house down, or blow the fuse.

Are you sure that both Circuit 1 and 2 are on the same phase in the house?

Rain delay - not linked to anything. You have to set it manually or via the LUA scene with any type of trigger (including yahoo weather). I will try to find the code for this later today. Adjust water - makes your watering cycle longer or shorter by defined %.

That scene will be triggered exactly 120 minutes after sunset time based on location you provided in HC2.

Which weather provider do you use?
