  1. Once you've selected your HC don't ask it to list devices, just tell it to turn off a device. All my ceiling lights were just called "ceiling light" but I renamed them to, for instance, "master bedroom light". Once I talk to fibaro and then say "turn off master bedroom light", every single time it says "which device". It's a terrible integration. My 5 year old has a google home in his room and there is no way I could get him to turn the lights off. It's hard enough for him to say "he google" and get it to pick it up everytime. Incidentally, the Amazon Alexa works fine...
  2. I can get it working but it is a poor integration as others have said. When I say "hey google, talk to fibaro", sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't (even though other commands work). When it does talk to fibaro you can say "list home centers" and it gives the list, in my case 3 different ones. I initially thought you had to say the serial number to get it to connect but you say number 1, or 2, or 3. Maybe that's your problem. It then seems to default to that home center the next time you command it, but I will say "hey, google, talk to fibaro", it replies "talking to fibaro"it replies with "which device" and I have to say "living room light" again. I also tried commanding a different device and it is the same. At the moment I am stuck with an alexa in the living room to control fibaro and a google home mini for everything else.
  3. I already have an Echo but don't use it as we mainly use Google devices. I noticed fibaro now have integration with Google home so went out and bought a google home mini today. I just tried to set it up but there are a few issues and in hindsight, I probably should have checked the forum first. Firstly when in the Google home app and you say "hey google talk to fibaro" no setup link appears. I tried this several times and scoured the forum. I eventually tried the google assistant app on my phone and the link appears. Perhaps the knowledge base should be more clear.... So I got it linked and everything and now when I say "he google talk to fibaro", it comes up "alright getting fibaro", then says "I couldn't find any devices". I actually have 3x HC2 setup on my home.fibaro.com account (1 at home and 1 in each of my stores). How does this work as how will it know which one to communicate with?
  4. Hi I am looking to create a scene that sends a push notification if a door sensor is breached between 7pm-7am and I am not sure how to do this? I can create a scene that sends a push notification if the sensor is breached, I just don't know how to do it between a set time. thanks
  5. Hi I have 2x dimplex 3kw electric radiators I would like to control. What is the best way to do this? I know there used to be a 3kw switch but it dropped to 2.5kw and now to 2kw. Is there another option? thanks
  6. I have 2x hc2 in different locations. Push notifications work regardless of which HC2 I am logged into on the android app. When I want to switch HC2 or go to home.fibaro then it shows the HC2 as HC2-XXXXX which is basically the serial number. Is there any way to have a "friendly" name for them? I can't see any obvious way to change this but this would seem to me like a basic feature you'd expect. cheers
  7. Probably not what you want to hear but you can use those radiator valves with the Heatgenius system. I have this running in my house. I don't think I'd trust the HC2 with my heating.
  8. You need a dimmer bypass module fitted because you're using led lights.
  9. Hi thanks for the reply. If I have 3 gateways in the app, even though I am only connected to 1 gateway at a time, can any 3 send me a push notification? Like for instance if I wanted to control the lights from location 1, I could switch to that gateway. The same for location 2 or 3, but if I had a scene setup on location 3 to send a push notification and I was connected to location 1, would I still get the push notification? cheers
  10. I have a HC2 setup at home. I mainly use it locally on my laptop, but also have the app setup on my android phone and tablet. I access it remotely on my phone or through a browser sometimes. I wanted to put a HC2 in 2 different buildings. These are in a different locations to my home. Installing one and using it locally on my laptop would be no problem because I will access the local IP. I wondered how this would work with my android phone? Can I receive push notifications from more than 1 HC2 to the same device? Or would I be limited to accessing the other 2 through a browser on my laptop? thanks
  11. I would have thought to check this but yes I'm getting the same. When mobile found it is spiking between 5-10%, when not found it spikes up to about 59%. I still can't get the images working. I tried to install HC2 toolkit on windows 8 machine and wouldn't work. Managed to get it installed on a windows 7 laptop, it loads but can't connect to the hc2, I get an error message. I tried using safari, chrome on both windows and mac to get the code off the image, but all 4 images are showing the same. There doesn't appear to be a unique ID in the url or picture.
  12. There is some information on the original thread about enabling push notifications or installing sonus app to fix that. I'm using on android and it seems to be working. I can't however figure out how to get the icons working. I've spent the last 1 hour trying to figure it out but can't seem to find the ID of the images. I've checked /ip/api/icons/ and can't see where the icon would be.
  13. Ok I have the VD working. If I set the global variable to 0 and wait a minute or so it is changed back to 1 when it detects my MAC. It also does this for my wife's phone. I created a block scene called "Set home" that says "Phone_XX1 = 1 or Phone_XX2 = 1 then PresentState = Home" I created a second block scene called "Set Away" that says "Phone_XX1 = 0 or Phone_XX2 = 0 then PresentState = Away" Is this the correct block scene?
