New HC3 on its way: Do I Migrate my HC2 via the transfer process or setup everything from new? I am sure many people are asking what are the pro's and con#'s of each route: Migrating Pros - Known: Sections, rooms and icons will be migrated Z-Wave devices assigned to the rooms and their icons parameters of these devices Cameras not created via plugins associations Migration Con's - Won't be transferred Scenes plugins virtual devices cameras via plugins schedules (watering & climate) Questions: If a device is transferred, does HC3 tell the device to use 500 series communications automatically and will HC2 put the device in secure mode? (All my Heating Controllers (Fibaro Thermostats) are not in secure mode as you cannot upgrade if they are in secure mode Can I force Secure mode of a device that is transferred or do I have to remove it and re-add it to enable secure mode? Are my LUA scenes compatible (Cut and Paste [Changing deviceid as needed] from HC2 to HC3)? What are the other Pro's and Con's people have seen? Any pit-falls to watch out for?

Hi all, is anyone of you using an HC3 (Version 5.030.45) and able to add a Fibaro Walli Dimmer? When I start the inclusion on my HC3/ Walli Dimmer I only get the following message in the log and one new Device (191) without any child devices...so I'm not able to control the dimmer. [13.04.2020] [15:08:36] [TRACE] [ZWAVE]: Home Center in learning mode [13.04.2020] [15:08:50] [TRACE] [ZWAVE]: Device added[13.04.2020] [15:08:50] [TRACE] [ZWAVE]: Requesting neighbours, please wait... [13.04.2020] [15:08:53] [TRACE] [ZWAVE]: Requesting neighbours done.

Thanks Cheers and happy Easter

Hi, Having recently purchased a HC3 to 'upgrade' from my Vera 3 controller I am now starting to get ready to transfer my devices (95% of them are Fibaro) across to the HC3 manually. I have successfully setup the HC3 and updated the software and it runs well. I have included a few spare devices, switches, and dimmers to familiarize myself with include exclude process. My Vera setup has 4 RGBW controllers on it running block scenes (I'm not a programmer yet!!) all working well. I have purchased several RGBW2 controllers for additional rooms in my house. So, after the latest software update to the HC3 I decided to connect one of the RGBW2 controllers. I assumed it would work like the RGBW on Vera controllers. In as much as I do not have any switches connected and control them through the app or a scene. I have added the RGBW2 and find that I cannot get any of the LED strip to turn on (unless I momentarily connect ground to one of the 4 inputs) in which case all the colours and white are correctly functioning (hardware eliminated). My understanding was that I could choose from the predefined or my own (I was able to add) colour palette or run one of the pre-defined scenes storm rainbow etc. I am confident the devices installed correctly is there a test I can run? I notice that even when I triggered the lights manually by bridging the inputs to ground no power in watts was showing? Unfortunately, I do not yet have another module included on the HC3 that reports power they are all older dimmers or switches. Is this because of configuration? I do have a few questions do I need to setup default parameters on the RGBW2 module? I did try changing some of the parameters as per the manual but my HC3 doesn't seem to accept this and I just getting a spinning wheel when it is trying to update. If anyone can put me in the right direction to get started even if this is by reading and understanding I am prepared to invest my time. I have just been investigating this further and I think that the issue is maybe because both the RGBW2 devices that I have included onto the network have all their parameters set to 0. looking at other modules I have included shows that they have what looks like their default set of parameters. However manually selecting the default value for each parameter just gives me a spinning wheel see above. Update: After doing another reconfigure, I left the module overnight this completed successfully. However, all parameters are zero! Although it appears in the android app as expected and responds and selects the scene / colour brightness etc. One unit I could maybe suspect as faulty but two brand new units behaving identically - No. Can anyone suggest a way of sending the parameters? Thanks,

Hi everybody, I seem to be stuck in my search how to implement a (large) mobile popup, triggered in a LUA scene in HC3. I found this example for HC2: https://manuals.fibaro.com/knowledge-base-browse/how-to-create-mobile-pop-up/ This is actually what I want to create, a large popup with buttons and actions connected to it. But the example (obviously) does not work in HC3. I am using the following code and the fibaro.homeCenter.notificationService.publish function with type set to MobilePopupNotification as described in https://manuals.fibaro.com/home-center-3-lua-scenes/ local function popupMessage(message) local request = { type = "MobilePopupNotification", priority = "warning", data = { title = "Door(s) Open", text = message, } } local response, code = fibaro.homeCenter.notificationService.publish(request) fibaro.debug("Scene109", json.encode(response)) fibaro.debug("Scene109", code) end The debug responses are: for response: {"data":{"title":"Door(s) Open","buttons":[],"text":"Alarm in kelder en begane grond armed"},"created":1586512755,"type":"MobilePopupNotification","id":208,"priority":"warning","wasRead":false,"canBeDeleted":true} for code: 200 My Notification page in the web interface displays the warning as "Notification title" but no mobile notification is received. I also had this scene running with fibaro.alert() but that did not give me the desired large popup, only a smal one with limited text and not button options. BTW: I couldn't get the button functionality to work in any way. Tried arrays, objects, array of objects, object of objects etc but always got an error code 400 or simply a load error code ((load):34: unexpected symbol near '[') So, can anybody point me in the right direction, or tell me if what I want is possible in HC3? Thanks a lot

Hi, From the resources available on the forum I managed to glue QA to support Yamaha Musiccast (tested on R-602N and WX-30 ). The code is certainly not clean and needs patches. Would anyone experienced be interested in helping to refine the QA and adding additional functions before posting it in the forum? Regards Michal

Hi all Is there a fibaro killscene and startscene command similar to hc2? Thanks

Hi! I have 2 users in HC3, each user has their own ID and own mobile device in the access management. Every mobile phone has the new app and every user is logged in with their user account. Identifiable by the restricted rights. (Users are synchronized in the user administration). fibaro.alert('push', {301}, 'Karl-Heinz') fibaro.alert('push', {302}, 'Birgit') No matter who I send a push message to, all messages appears on both users on the iPhone. Whats going wrong? Greetings!

Hello friends, I need to switch the ACs after opening doors for certain time. I'm using AEOTEC Door/Window Sensor for this reason but I don't know how to do in HC3. Please any help Thanks Ahmed

Hello, I'm interested to learn more about scripting to automate the home with HC3. Which "languages" would you recommend to learn? I know there is documentation about LUA on manuals.fibaro.com, but I don't have any "programming skills" yet. So that a step to far for me at the moment. I also found this app https://getmimo.com/ (not sponsored content), maybe this is something easy to understand the basics. Let me know if you have any other suggestion!

Hi, I'm trying to create a QA/QD to get through APIs all my Philips Hue Data: Button 1: Get all Hue Groups Button 2: Get all Hue Scenes Button 3: Get all Hue Lights The purpose is to store this in a global variable and then be in a position to use this in other QD and scenes (saving light parameters for instance, to come back to initial state after an alert...or naming hue light in fibaro HC3 as they are in Philips hue environment...) I've managed to make it run, see code below, hope it could help some one... That's kind of a miracle considering my skills ^^ My issue starts where i actually do have 2 hue bridges (more than 50 lights). I would like to extract data from each of them and then merge result in a single table that I would then set as a global variable. This table should have one more key than the hue table: for the bridge source (1 or 2). I guess it's something with a for k,v in pairs(result) but i can't manage making it run To understand the code below: * to avoid having device id coded in scene and QA, they are all part of a Global Variable (mappingTable). If I want to change a device Id because replacing it, changing the Id in mappingTable updates all scenes and QA * i have coded only bridge 1. user information for bridge 2 are prepared * I've deleted all my attempts to present a running code if someone is interested Another question is around the function to get hue information in return. I'm not sure really understanding and mastering the synthax which remains a little bit obscur for me. could it be simpler? May I request some help and attention? Covid alert gives me sometime to search, but honestly, i'm stuck Thanks in advance for your support ^^ roomName = "SSLBUR" -- nom de la pièce cible floorName = "SSL" -- nom de l'étage de référence function QuickApp:globalVariable() self:debug("-- Chargement des variables globales nécessaires au QA") mappingTable=json.decode(tostring(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("mappingTable"))) end function QuickApp:hueConfigUpload() hueIP1 = mappingTable["SYSTEME"]["devices"]["hueBridge"]["hueBridge1"]["hueIP1"] huePort1 = mappingTable["SYSTEME"]["devices"]["hueBridge"]["hueBridge1"]["huePort1"] hueUser1 = mappingTable["SYSTEME"]["devices"]["hueBridge"]["hueBridge1"]["hueuser1"] hueIP2 = mappingTable["SYSTEME"]["devices"]["hueBridge"]["hueBridge2"]["hueIP2"] huePort2 = mappingTable["SYSTEME"]["devices"]["hueBridge"]["hueBridge2"]["huePort2"] hueUser2 = mappingTable["SYSTEME"]["devices"]["hueBridge"]["hueBridge2"]["hueuser2"] end function QuickApp:mappingHueGroup() self:globalVariable() self:hueConfigUpload() local address = "http://"..hueIP1.."/api/"..hueUser1.."/groups" self.http:request(address, { options = { headers = { Accept = "application/json"}, checkCertificate = true, method = 'GET' }, success = function(response) self:debug("response status:", response.status) self:debug("headers:", response.headers["Content-Type"]) fibaro.setGlobalVariable("mappingHueGroup", response.data) self:debug(response.data) local data = json.decode(response.data) self:debug(data["1"].name) end}) self:debug(mappingHueGroup) end function QuickApp:onInit() self:debug("") self:debug("-- Démarrage du code principal") self.http = net.HTTPClient({timeout=3000}) self:mappingHueGroup() -- self:mappingHueLight() -- self:mappingHueScene() end

Configuration: - RGBW led strip connected to RGBW 2 controller + monostable (GIRA) wall switch - HC3 - Fibaro iOS mobile app System by default use "white" colour through mixing only RGB channel from RGBW led strip and white (W) chanell is not use (turned off) . If you want to use white colour from your RGBW led strip you have to define white colour ( #000000) by yourself in fibaro web application. All is fine if you are use such a configuration and use only wall switch. When you changed led colour (i.e. yellow, magenta, blue, green or whatever) through mobile application you will not be able turn on/off led light with your wall switch. It doesn't work any reaction from led strip To "fix" this issue you have to login to web application and choose once again earlier defined white colour ( #000000). Have you ever meet such a problem/bug ? Thank you

In making the transfer from HC2 to HC3 based on a cloud backup (update 4.581 Beta) it is stated that "scenes will not be moved and need to be created again". That's OK, but it would be helpful when planning the transfer to know what the differences are (in syntax and available functions) between the two LUA versions. I know that the new LUA editor is documented in https://manuals.fibaro.com/home-center-3-lua-scenes/ . What I would hope to see in addition, is a side by side comparison of all the crucial differences, to enable a pre-edit of the old LUA scenes before entering them into the new editor. Something like this: If you used this in HC2 LUA: You need to do this in HC3 LUA: fibaro.debug("txt") fibaro.debug("tag", "txt") os.time() ??? etc. If we all contribute to such a table as we identify all the differences, we may be able to help each other prepare for HC3. Not all differences can easily be summarized in the simple two-column format above, however. For the new definition of conditions and triggers, it seems it would be more appropriate to give a few examples of old codes (with triggers) converted to new codes. PS: I haven't even decided to buy the HC3 yet! But getting a feel for the amount of re-programming needed to convert my scene is an important factor in making that decision. The suggested table is now shown in a pdf file attached to this post, see below. It is regularly updated as new contributions are posted. LUA HC2 vs HC3.pdf

Hi, I'm trying to configure ZXT-600 with my HC3 but I have some challenges/bugs. *Disclaimer - at this moment I'dont want to use any specific AC. I'm doing this as a "dry run" before final installation 1. HC3 without any problem recognize ZXT-600 "devices". ZXT-600 is wotking wit USB power adaptor. 2. I'm trying to configure ZXT-600 based on manual (https://1d7d2411-2e94-4f8c-a95f-87afc2c677d4.filesusr.com/ugd/6dacfa_70e9d19869b44299b27f501fd1673f85.pdf) . At the beginning I added two parameters: - 27 [Set IR Code number from built-in code library 27 (0x1B)] - I choose one of the Mitsubishi - 30 [Set Auto Report Condition Trigger By Room Temperature change 30 (0x1E)] - I choose value what menas based on manual "Auto report if room temperature is different from last report. 1(0x01) = 1°F (0.5°C)" ZXT-600 has been assigned to room Kuchnia/Kitchen (details on below print screen) I used iOS Fibaro application for HC3 and it looks that HC3/ZXT-600 doesn't work ijn proper way. 1. Even when I'm using parameter "Auto report if room temperature is different from last report. 1(0x01) = 1°F (0.5°C)" temperature doesn't change. Mobile application and Fibaro HC3 dashboard present one value (updated during power adaptor has been detached/attached) Is it a bug, malfunction or my lack of knowledge how to configure devices ? 2. I assume that should be possible send IR commnad (on, off, cooling, heating ...) from mobile application->HC3->ZXT-600 to air condition IR receiver. Maybe I'm wrong or I miss something. Unfortunatelly I haven't or I can't see any places in mobile/web applications where I could be do this Please let me know about your thoughts/experience. Thank you

fibaroapiHC3.lua Note, I currently only support my new emulator, TQAE, and have moved all my development to that - please check it out... It's a rewrite with the learnings I have made coding fibaroapiHC3.lua... (Note: The new version of the emulator has gone through extensive rewrite and is stabilising (0.300). The old version of the emulator is here fibaroapiHC3_classic.lua.) This is a thread for the fibaroapiHC3.lua sdk that is under development (keeping it separate from the HC3 QuickApps coding - tips and tricks thread) I've started to run and test HC3 QuickApps offline and have made a fibaroapi.lua file that can be included to emulate the fibaro calls and call out to the HC3. This means that a whole QA can be developed offline, debugged and verified before deploying to the HC3. Something that significantly reduces the development process. It's an emulation so it's not 100% but it will cater for 99.99% of the needs to catch bugs, get decent error messages when things doesn't work (like timers). Be able to set breakpoints and inspect states etc. It's complete enough to run the most demanding QuickApps that I have found on the forum so far... If it runs in the emulator and it doesn't run on the HC3 or vice versa I will prioritise to fix it. Latest version here fibaroapiHC3.lua (v0.311) The code is updated weekly so please make sure you have the latest... It was inspired by the old fibaroapi for the HC2 in a thread started by @riemers but has evolved with more extensive support to create a better debugging and "offline experience"... in fact, it's really an HC3 emulator now. The video is an earlier version of the emulator but the principles are more or less the same. Note the nice tooltip and autocompletion of fibaro commands we get with the fibaroapiHC3plugin for ZBS. Enable English subtitles to see instructions... Some benefits: Use a modern development environment such as ZeroBrane Studio (free for Mac/PC/Linux, HC3 plugin here) on your laptop/PC to develop and debug QuickApps and Scenes. Here is a good introduction to Lua (using ZeroBrane) Step through code, inspect Lua variables, set break-points etc - all that is possible in a good IDE. Faster to pin-point errors as the error messages are better than on the HC3 - stack-traces etc. Advanced timer info (setTimeout) warning of late timers and from where the offending function was called if a timer function crashes. Info from where an eronous json.encode was called from in your code so you can easily find the error (instead of seeing a line from deep inside the json encoder) Use the whole Fibaro API fibaro.call etc and net.HTTPClient(), setTimeout(), json.ecode/decode, QuickApp self:functions like self:getVariable, self:updateView Support for MQTT client and QuickApp child devices Both QuickApps and Scenes are supported. Scenes support most conditions and are triggered by real triggers from the HC3 or simulated triggers. Speed up clock to run faster than real time, to watch a Scene or QuickApp over days/weeks/months in seconds. Start at any given time and date - test if your scene behaves on week-ends ? Automatically create a proxy QuickApp on the HC3 that sends UI clicks back to the code your are running and displays self:updateView updates. This way you can test the QuickApp UI (buttons etc) and still debug the main code on your PC. Develop and run multi-file QuickApps, allowing you to build up a library of common code to share between your QAs. Run completely disconnected from the HC3 simulating devices and other resources (now you can take your coding with you on your vacation ) There is a possibility to download resource definitions from the HC3 and use them (devices, globals etc) while running disconnected. Load multiple QAs/Scenes into the emulator at the same time to debug interaction patterns between QAs (or just run all your QAs offline and use the HC3 as a wave GW ) Telnet into the running emulator to capture logs or issue Lua commands like turning on/off devices at runtime to test you QA/Scene. Move the code as-is over to the HC3 when it runs in the emulator - and it will most likely run on the HC3. Scenes needs to be moved to conditions/actions part on the HC3 - may automat that in the future. Oh, and an emulated Web GUI for the quickApp so you can try out button/slider clicks without connecting to the HC3. And lastly, it makes it fun to develop code for the HC3 To get going download the fibaroapiHC3.lua and put in in the working directory where you code your QA(s) If you run ZerobraneStudio (recommended) paste this and run if dofile and not hc3_emulator then dofile("fibaroapiHC3.lua") end--hc3 hc3_emulator.downloadPlugin() hc3_emulator.downloadAssets() Please note the 'end--hc3' that ends the 'if dofile and not hc3_emulator then' statement. It requires the '--end' comment so I can recognise it. Also, you need to set the Lua interpreter to version 5.3 (In ZBS, Menu ; Project -> Lua Interpreter -> Lua 5.3) It will install the. ZBS plugin in ~/.zbstudio/packages and some code templates in ~/.zbstudio/hc3emu/ (Restart ZBS for the plugin to. be installed) Create a Lua file and create a header + QA/scene code. An example of a minimal QA can look like if dofile and not hc3_emulator then hc3_emulator = { name = "My QA", poll=1000, -- Poll for triggers from the HC3 every 1s credentials = {ip="192.168.1.X", user="<user>", pwd="<password>"} } dofile("fibaroapiHC3.lua") end--hc3 function QuickApp:onInit() fibaro.call(88,"turnOn") -- turns on device 88 on your HC3 end We wrap the emulator specific stuff inside "if dofile and not hc3_emulator then .... end" as the symbol 'dofile' is not defined on the HC3 and will thus be false and not include the code - This means that we can take the code as-is and paste it into the HC3 and it works. Note the credentials that contains the IP, username and password so that the emulator can access the HC3 box. If you use ZBS and the plugin there is an Edit-HC3 SDK templates-> menu that will insert a standard QA and Scene header + code in the current buffer. Most of the functions are there and will be improved over time. There are support for net.HTTPClient() and setTimeout/clearTimeout and api.* There are support for getting triggers and events from the HC3 Support for auto-creating a QuickApp proxy with UI elements that sends events back to the code being debugged. There are support for both QuickApps and Scenes (with conditions) Currently supported (v 0.300) fibaro.debug(type,str) fibaro.warning(type,str) fibaro.trace(type,str) fibaro.error(type,str) fibaro.call(deviceID, actionName, ...) fibaro.getType(deviceID) fibaro.getValue(deviceID, propertyName) fibaro.getName(deviceID) fibaro.get(deviceID,propertyName) fibaro.getGlobalVariable(varName) fibaro.setGlobalVariable(varName ,value) fibaro.getRoomName(roomID) fibaro.getRoomID(deviceID) fibaro.getRoomNameByDeviceID(deviceID) fibaro.getSectionID(deviceID) fibaro.getIds(devices) fibaro.getAllDeviceIds() fibaro.getDevicesID(filter) fibaro.scene(action, sceneIDs) fibaro.profile(profile_id, action) fibaro.callGroupAction(action,args) fibaro.alert(alert_type, user_ids, notification_content) fibaro.alarm(partition_id, action) fibaro.setTimeout(ms, func) fibaro.clearTimeout(ref) fibaro.setInterval(ms, func) fibaro.clearInterval(ref) fibaro.emitCustomEvent(name) fibaro.wakeUpDeadDevice(deviceID) fibaro.sleep(ms) net.HTTPClient() net.TCPSocket() net.UDPSocket() net.WebSocketClient() -- needs extra download net.WebSocketClientTLS() -- needs extra download api.get(call) api.put(call <, data>) api.post(call <, data>) api.delete(call <, data>) setTimeout(func, ms) clearTimeout(ref) setInterval(func, ms) clearInterval(ref) mqtt.Client.connect(uri, options) -- needs extra download <mqttclient>:addEventListener(message,handler) <mqttclient>:subscribe(topic, options) <mqttclient>:unsubscribe(topics, options) <mqttclient>:publish(topic, payload, options) <mqttclient>::disconnect(options) plugin.mainDeviceId plugin.deleteDevice(deviceId) plugin.restart(deviceId) plugin.getProperty(id,prop) plugin.getChildDevices(id) plugin.createChildDevice(prop) class QuickAppBase class QuickApp class QuickAppChild json.encode(expr) json.decode(string) QuickApp:onInit() -- called at startup if defined QuickApp - self:setVariable(name,value) QuickApp - self:getVariable(name) QuickApp - self:debug(...)

If you don't want that (it's easy to forget it and share the code with your passwords in plain sights<9 you can create a credentials.lua file with your secret stuff and it will be automatically included by the SDK. The format should be return { ip="2912.168.77", user="admin", pwd="admin", mySecret="hgskjfhgjhgkdfh" } It returns a Lua table with the relevant keys. ip, user,and pwd is used to log into the HC3. We have added another key here to 'mySecret'. Assume that you want you QA to have a defined quickAppVariable with the value of mySecret. It could be the password to log into an external services. Then you can do like this if dofile and not hc3_emulator then hc3_emulator = { name="My QA", quickVars = {["password"]="$CREDS.mySecret"}, This define a quickAppVariable with the name 'password' and it fetches the key 'mySecret' from the credentials table and uses that as the value. When you QA starts up you can do self:getVarible('password') and it will return the credential. This is useful as not to litter your code with visible credentials. NOTE. Be aware that if you deploy the real QA with hc3_emulator.deploy=true or using the menu commands with the plugin, the deployed QA will have the quickAppVariable defined and if you upload that for sharing people will see your credential. If someone wants to try this in another IDE than Zerobrane that I use (like Visual Studio) the only thing that could be an issue is to have access to the Lua libraries require("socket") -- LuaSocket require("socket.url") -- LuaSocket require("socket.headers") -- LuaSocket require("ltn12") -- LuaSocket require("mime") -- LuaSocket require("lfs") -- LuaFileSystem They are pretty standard lua libraries - based on LuaSocket. @10der has managed to run it under Visual Studio on Windows. Here is an updated library/project map to work with the latest version of the emulator vscode_fibaro_bin.zip. Note that you should update the fibaroapiHC3.lua file provided i the archive when new are released as I will not update this archive for every new release. @petergebruers also have some tips. Any improvements are happily received (in code) and credits will be due granted.

Hi, i add Aeotec multisensor 6 to my HC3 but it seems not working properly. I try to add and remove 3 times. After installation "wake up interval" is set to 0s and i cant change it. Automatic updates working only for PIR sensor. Temperature, luminance, humidity, uv is not auto updated at all (now for almost 10 hours). I setup thresholds to low values and manual wake up device to sync this settings. Nothing help ... Even threshold for temperature is impossible to change to normal value (eg. 1C). Default value after installation is set to 131097.6 C and after change and sync is always reset to this value. Have someone similar issues with Aeotec multisensor 6? It is device or hc3 related problem?

Hello, Does anyone already re-made the QuickApp for Siren Gen5? I want to use the different sounds of the Siren like in the HC2 with the VD.

I have Followed the described process (latest firmwares etc) --> HC3 applied latest backup (moved from HC2) --> configuration steps --> Added static IP --> Reboot --> Stuck! Dashboard/Devices forms hanging like trying to load and never stops) Then into Recovery mode --> only option "Reset Network setting" --> Reboot!! Now it gets funny! Now the system never comes up! All LED's is OK except for "Security" LED, which is blinking!? Only option is turn power off and try again --> never getting any further. When trying to "Reset to factory mode" ON PHYSICAL BUTTON as described in the manual (more than 20 secs) Press button in the back during startup - nothing happens. - was expecting to be able to switch between Static/dynamic IP (blink yellow/green), again it ends up with only the 'Security' LED blinking nothing happens????? The point is that it never gets an IP address and goes online! Is it not possible to do a 'Hard reset' on the box to 'factory settings'? Total swipe and start over? Have anyone seen this issue BR / Allan

Hi, is this announcement correct The Zigbee, Bluetooth LE, 433MHz, and 868MHz protocols are not fully implemented in software at this time, so it is not possible to add devices that work with these protocols. The table chips of each communication protocol are physically located in the device. Will be the HC3 officialy support those protocols in near future?

Hello, Today I received my brand new HC3 to replace my Homey Pro that has terrible z-wave performance. I unpacked and installed according to the setup steps. Software updated to 5.021.38. I excluded a Qubino Flush Dimmer from Homey and tried to add the device to HC3. The console shows HC3 going into learning mode but adding the Qubino (3 x switching) failed. Factory reset the Qubino and tried again with auto-inclusion and then again "normal" inclusion. No joy. Unpacked a brand new Fibaro Dimmer 2 and tried to add the device. Again, HC3 goes into learning mode but device is not added... HC3 shows nothing being wrong, Z-wave diagnostic show green "fully configured", also after I did a z-wave network reset. Z-wave version 4.33. Can anyone show this (still) inexperienced Home Center owner the way to a solution? Many thanks,

Hi there, I know that this question may be better suited under the Home Center mobile application section, but at the same time - not.. I'll explain throughout the post why! The background (to start with); I recently bought one Home Center 3 device to try the new unit after having a great configuration with three HC2 units at my house and two appartments that I own. The first issue was of course the migration from HC2 to HC3. Frustrated over the fact that I needed to se up everything. Rooms and Sections should have been easy to move. The devices - ok.. I get why.. I can take that I needed to add them in the new system. So - to make a long story short(er).. I added everything, and got my house configured fine - and I've even managed to rewrite all the scripts except for one detail (a pause which could be used in the LUA-script before was used to wait for five minutes before turning bathroom lights off automatically when no motion detector had detected any new movement in the room). But other than that - I've managed to get everything up and running quite ok. So - to the problem description: As the Fibaro Home Center mobile app is not working for Home Center 3, I had to overcome the fact that I was forced to use the "new" Home Center app. Horrible as that is, it's just a fact. But - regardless if I have my Android devices which are; Samsung Z Flip, Huawei P30, Huawei P10 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S20 or the apple device; iPhone 10 - I get the same problem. The problem: The first time I start the Mobile App, everything works just fine, and I can use it as expected. But.. The second time I start the app I get stuck with this screen. I know.. In Swedish, but if you ever used the app, you know that this screen is when you would expect the application to log in to your system. When I start up the app for the first time after installing the app - everything works just fine as I said. The second time though.. not so functional as this is all I get. Regardless of which phone I use. But - this ONLY refers to Home Center 3 - which is why I think it's a HC3 issue rather than the mobile app - as this is regardless of Apple or Android. When I use the app with my Home Center 2 devices that I still have, everything works just fine. Time after time when I log in on HC2, it just works as expected. But as soon as I switch to HC3 - the screen above is all I see.. for the rest of my life (or until I choose to scrap all data for the app/or reinstall the app). So, the solution thus far; 1. Open the apps in the mobile phone settings and delete ALL data (not just the cache) 2. Start the app again, and do all the initial settings and choose "Skip" for the welcome wizards that are shown just as if the app was freshly installed 3. Operate the app as normal 4. But.. When I close the app, or don't use it for 15 minutes or so - I have to start over with number 1 in this solution to be able to use the app. Frustrating!!! Or... 1. Uninstall the app 2. Install the app. 3. Do all setup-things (login, skip wizards etc) 4. Operate as normal 5. Start over on 1 in this solution.. (frustrating... again) So - Is there anyone that have the same issue? Or - does anyone have HC3 functioning properly with the Home Center mobile app? Because - I'd think that it just may be my device that needs an upgrade or something? The MOBILE app (Android) is version: 1.6.0 The Home Center 3 software/firmware version is: 5.020.60 Appreciate any thoughts/tips about this issue. Thanks for reading! /Peter

Is anyone has succeed to use https connection? I did follow Fibaro's procedure to install certification Download the certificate. In the Windows Start menu search for mmc app and open it. In the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) app go to File > Add/Remove Snap-In. Add Certificate Snap-in: Certificates > Select “Computer account” > Next > Next > OK. Now go to Certificates > Trusted Root Certification Authorities and right-click on “Certificates” Import the certificate. Find the certificate downloaded from the FIBARO Home Center 3. Import it. Done. Your connection with the gateway is now secure. but doesn't work on FIrefox. (Expiration date ?) Any extra steps required to install certification? Interesting it does work with Chrome !!??

After adding Aeotec multisensor 6 to the HC3 the HC3 recognizes the Aetec MS6. The MS6 does not send any values. All remains at 0. HC3 does come up with a template for the parameters however changing the parameters is impossible, they remain at 0. Thanks, Willem Bousema Switching from HC2 to HC3

A thread to share some coding techniques for QuickApps? Because QAs are "long running scenes" (they don't have to be loaded and restarted for every event) - it is actually worthwhile to build up a library of "nice to have" code and include them in QAs.
