What does the "Save energy to database "do (device configuration)? I figure out the "Use stored energy data in Energy Panel", the "Use instantaneous power in Energy Panel calculations" and the "Calculate energy used", but can't figure out what the "Save energy to database" do...

Hi I'm new to the HC3 and this is my first post here so please be gentle I'm trying to set up a simple timer to enable a Hot Water Tank Immersion Heater. I've got the ZWave module (a Vesternet high current relay) working and can switch it on and off manually. I have also set up a couple of scenes to turn the immersion on and off for 1 hour and 2 hour periods. Now, I want to switch the immersion heater on at 06:00 and off at 09:00 but can't for the life of me work out how to do it. I have set up the scene shown below but it doesn't work automatically (at the defined times), although it does work if I manually run it Any help very much appreciated

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. Here is Fibaro's manual for QuickApps. Here is Fibaro's manual for creating QuickAppChild devices Here is Fibaro's manual for using MQTT client Here is Fibaro's manual for WebSocket client List of posts: Introduction to the QuickApp anatomy - tutorial Part 1. Lua functions and object-oriented programming. (QuickApp is a OO class, so we need that base) Part 2. The basic QuickApp functions and what they do... and how. Part 3. More on QuickApp event handling - interaction with the UI and fibaro.call(<quickApp>,"name",...) Part 4. QuickAppChildren and how to raise them... what makes them tick?

I begin... When I turned on the HC3 the box offers me the Z-Wave Engine 3.0 or 2.0? I have no knowledge, but by default I took 3.0 because the most recent version. Only did I make the right choice? I have browsed the forum, and many prefer 2.0, and there is no way to switch between the two protocols. It is necessary to go through a factory reset, and start from scratch. As I am starting out, and I only have two Walli Roller Shutter FGWREU-111. it's not too bad for me to start from scratch. I can't use the dsk key? Is this the cause of the Z-Wave Engine 3.0? But you HC3 poccésseur, what did you take? Thanks for your help.

My venetian blinds is driven by a FGR223 as a driver and a walli controller FGWC-201 as button what are the parameter to set with the FGR223 and the walli controller to manage up/down with short cli/push and slat with long clic/push I tried 2 settings to drive completely the venetian blinds without success. 1rst setting: I set the FGR223 as a venetian blinds and perform a calibration (the module is marked as calibrated) then parameter are setted to - 152: 150 - 153: 1 - 154, 155: 10 - 156: 5508 - 157: 5376 I set the Walli controler FGWCEU-201: - type: venetian blinds (parameter 20=6) - direct group association: node.0 group 7, with multichannel with node(FGR223).1 with this setting i have 4 problems : pb 1.1: when i short clic on the button of the walli controler (short push) nothing append, i have to make a long clic to move up or down the venetian blinds, as far as i stop pushing the button the blinds stop. pb 1.2: when i push th button to rich the open position, after few seconds the blinds move by itself to rich the a position 10cm down. pb 1.3: when the blinds and button are waiting for almost several hour without interaction, i need to clic twice on the walli controler, 1rst clic with green response with no move, second clic with green with move (up or down) pb 1.4: how could i manage the slat ? second setting try with another association: - FGR223 as a venetian blinds and perform a calibration (the module is marked as calibrated) - same as 1rst try - Walli controler FGWCEU-201: - type: venetian blinds (parameter 20=6) - direct group association: node.0 group 6, with multichannel with node(FGR223).1 with this setting when i short the venetian blinds move up or down the final position, and another clic stop the move, but i have 3 problems - pb 2.1: when i push th button to rich the open position, after few seconds the blinds move by itself to rich the a position 10cm down. - pb 2.2: when the blinds and button are waiting for almost several hour without interaction, i need to clic twice on the walli controler, 1rst clic with green response with no move, second clic with green with move (up or down) - pb 2.3: how could i manager the slat only ?

Hi all I am really fan of the Fibaro marked - and i im thinking of an extra option. There are so few products working out of the box with Fibaro HC3 I would like to have integration for these products - and NO mittleware - and i have no problem paying for a working integration For my the fun is doing the automations and not the integrations. I guess there is other people like me that dont have all the time in the world just for creating integrations - and i can also see that several people have coding skills that would take me years to reach. What should it cost? I miss a place to trade with integration. Where people can request and - people having the time, energy and skills can do the programming.

It's just me or Home Center 3 (HC3) don't allow to upload .vfib files (virtual devices)? If it does, how can I do it?

How do I create a Global Variable from LUA in HC3? I'm trying to create a light dimmer function for Philips HUE using a Logic Group Matrix ZDB5100 switch so when I hold the Button its starts dimming up or down. But to keep track if the button is released and pressed again I need to keep track of the direction from last time it was pressed. So I'm thinking of using an Enumerated global variable "dimDirection" that can be set to Up or Down. I want the code to create the variable if not present. My working code whiteout remembering dimDirection is here https://pastebin.pl/view/d74c93bb In HC2 i used this snippet of code. But how is it in HC3 ? local ProjectorStatus = {On="Tændt", Off="Slukket"}; -- in code you then declare predefined global variable using users mapped values: local varName = { ["Projector"] = { value = ProjectorStatus.On, isEnum = true, isTable = false, enumValue = {ProjectorStatus.On, ProjectorStatus.Off} }, } function checkGlobalVariable(varName) -- Check if variable exist for i , v in pairs(varName) do if fibaro:getGlobalValue(i) == nil then api.post("/globalVariables/", { name = i }); fibaro:sleep(400) api.put("/globalVariables/"..i, { name = i, value = v.value, isEnum = v.isEnum, enumValues = v.enumValue }) if v.isTable then ok, msg = pcall(function() wT = json.decode(fibaro:getGlobalValue(i)) if type(wT) ~= "table" then error() end end ) if not ok then fibaro:debug("ERROR - Creating table was unsuccessful, error code: "..msg) else fibaro:debug("Variable '"..i.."' created successfully."); end else if fibaro:getGlobalValue(i) ~= nil then fibaro:debug("Variable '"..i.."' created successfully."); else fibaro:debug("ERROR - Variable '"..i.."' was NOT created!") end end end -- update all predefined global variables in case user changed default values if v.isEnum then fibaro:debug("Variable '"..i.."' allready exists."); local value = fibaro:getGlobalValue(i) for i,m in pairs(v.enumValue) do if m == value then v.value = value end end if v.value == value then fibaro:debug("For variable '"..i.."' found current value ("..value..") and will keep it") else fibaro:debug("For variable '"..i.."' NOT found current value, will set default value ("..value..")") end api.put("/globalVariables/"..i, { name = i, value = v.value, isEnum = v.isEnum, enumValues = v.enumValue }) fibaro:sleep(400) end end updateVar = true end checkGlobalVariable(varName)

Hello, Does anyone have and would like to share a QA that would work as an alarm clock (turn on a specific device or scene at a set time and day of the week, from the interface and application)?

QA for creating HomeTable in global variables in HC3. Why using hometable? Instalation: 1. upload this QA 2. In QA variables you can change name for hometable, name for scenes and time for regular update of hometable 3. In QA -> source files -> ManualData you can add your own data (it will be also saved in final hometable in global variables) How to read data from hometable: -- in case that your name for hometable is default=HomeTable local tbl = fibaro.getGlobalVariable("HomeTable") local HT = json.decode(tbl) -- structure for devices is <room>.<deviceName> local idQA_TV=HT.LivingRoom.TV -- structure for scenes is <ScenesName>.<sceneName> -- default value for <ScenesName> is Scenes local idSc_Lights=HT.Scenes.Lights -- structure for your own inputs from ManualData local myValue1=HT.myData1.myNameValue1 -- 0 local myValue2=HT.myData1.myNameValue2 -- "default value" Names for rooms, devices and scenes are corrected by following replaces: {["%."]="",["-"]="",["%("]="",["%)"]="",["&"]="",[":"]="",["%["]="",["%]"]="",["%+"]="",["%%"]="",["%/"]="",["%$"]=""} {["Á"]="A",["Ä"]="A",["Ą"]="A",["À"]="A",["Â"]="A",["Č"]="C",["Ć"]="C",["Ç"]="C",["Ď"]="D",["É"]="E",["Ě"]="E",["Ë"]="E",["Ę"]="E",["È"]="E",["Ê"]="E",["Í"]="I",["Ï"]="I",["Î"]="I",["Ĺ"]="L",["Ľ"]="L",["Ł"]="L",["Ň"]="N",["Ń"]="N",["Ó"]="O",["Ô"]="O",["Ö"]="O",["Ő"]="O",["Œ"]="O",["Ŕ"]="R",["Ř"]="R", ["Š"]="S",["Ś"]="S",["Ť"]="T",["Ú"]="U",["Ů"]="U",["Ü"]="U",["Ű"]="U",["Ù"]="U",["Û"]="U",["Ý"]="Y",["Ÿ"]="Y",["Ž"]="Z",["Ż"]="Z",["Ź"]="Z",["á"]="a",["ä"]="a",["ą"]="a",["à"]="a",["â"]="a",["č"]="c",["ć"]="c",["ç"]="c",["ď"]="d",["é"]="e",["ě"]="e",["ë"]="e",["ę"]="e",["è"]="e",["ê"]="e",["í"]="i",["ï"]="i",["î"]="i",["ĺ"]="l",["ľ"]="l",["ł"]="l",["ň"]="n",["ń"]="n",["ó"]="o",["ö"]="o",["ô"]="o",["ő"]="o",["œ"]="o",["ř"]="r",["ŕ"]="r",["š"]="s",["ś"]="s",["ť"]="t",["ú"]="u",["ů"]="u",["ü"]="u",["ű"]="u",["ù"]="u",["û"]="u",["ý"]="y",["ÿ"]="y",["ž"]="z",["ż"]="z",["ź"]="z"} Hometable in global variables will be overwrite only if newly generated hometable will be different.

I haven't written a block scene for 5 years and that was on HC2, which is not dead. Almost all of my scenes have been lua. I just transferred to HC3. I wanted to set up some quick and dirty scenes. Here is one. It is set to manual as I want to call it from other scenes. It let me save it. It did nothing when called from the other scene. If I press run, nothing happens. So, I figure it needs a trigger. I tried time->once, but it won't even let me save it. How can I set up a trigger that should always work ? I even created a variable and set it to 1 and added a Variable trigger on it being 1, I can save it. But clicking on the run button still does nothing!

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.

Integracja Fibaro HC3 QuickAPP z ESP8266 Cześć, nie znalazłem nigdzie działającej integracji hc3 quickapp i esp8266, więc postanowiłem sam taką stworzyć. Instalacja Instalujemy ESPEASY po szczegóły odsyłam na https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.php/ESPEasy Konfigurujemy połączenie Wi-Fi do naszej sieci domowej Na routerze musimy zarezerwować adres IP który dostało ESP8266 Dodajemy QuickAPP: -> -> -> Wskazujemy plik z załącznika ESP8266_Przekaznik.fqa W zakładce zmienne edytujemy adres IP urządzenia oraz pin na którym znajduje się przekaźnik Jak działa kod Po otwarciu strony http://adresip/control?cmd=GPIO,0,1 zmienia się stan na naszym pinie Kod napisałem w ten sposób, że LUA analizuje zwrotny kod JSON z ESP8266 przez co mamy potwierdzenie że polecenie włączenia lub wyłączenia zostało wykonane.

Hi all, I 've just bought my new HC3 but before I do the migration I have one issue: After the migration the z-wave devices will network anymore ->ok But I have some VDs only HC2 where I do not have an idea on how to migrate them to HC3, somy Idea was to keep those on HC2 and leave them running, if that is possible at all? e.G. I have one VD that is doing call handling (sending messages on Calls) with my router (fritzbox). This one is actually quite stand-alone, and does not need other devices. Would that work in general, or are all VDs not communicating anymore? cheers joystick

Hello, I have climate shcedule problems with hc3. Now I use HC3 (now 5.140, had the same issue before with previous firmwares too), Heatit z-temp2 thermostat, fibaro relay module. My problem: I can clearly see that the issue is caused by the virtual device Thermostat& Heating zone (plugin used for manual mode). We use the heating in schedule mode, at every temperature change has the same strange thing. For example: From 4-6 pm we ask for 18 celsius, than 6-7pm we ask for 21 celsius, from 7pm again 18celsius. Now at 6pm every time the schedule mode sets the 21 celsius but immidiately after the manual mode turns on (without manually use, we do not touch the thermostat nor the application or anything for climate change) and gives again the 21 pm but with the plugin's parameter it stays for 4hours. So instead of 7pm 18 celsius the system stays on 21 for 3 more hours... Btw... I have so much trouble with HC3. The lights, scenes, heating. It has so many problems... With HC2 everything works just fine and HC3 I have issues from the beginning. I use it since about 6 months and had no sollution for many problems. Hope someone can help me, cause I need to solve this heating problem asap. Thank you!

I have a project with 1 hc3 acting as master and 2 hc3l acting as slaves gateways. I had a problem recently with 1 of slaves and tries to replace it. All trials result in fail which led me at the end to get a new slave and do the whole work again. Is there any clear step by step guide for the replacing procedure that include all required pre-requists and how to replace a damaged slave hc3L??? @m.roszak

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, I have multiple HomeCenters (2x HC3 and one HC2) in 3 different homes. Two of these homes are mine, but are in different geographical locations. I've created two seperate amazon accounts, both of which use alexa. The problem I'm facing is that when setting up the Yubii integration on Alexa, I don't have the opportunity to chose which HomeCenter I wish to use. This results in the devices of my main home being all added to my 2nd home (as these devices were previously added to the Alexa over there) and no way at all to ad the new HC3 and al of it's connected devices. This is particularly annoying as Fibaro (or Yubii now, idk) give you acces to multiple HomeCenters from home.fibaro.com/... . But I have no way to select any of these devices when setting up alexa with Yubii. Is there any way to specify WHICH home center to use when connecting Yubii to Alexa with the skill? Thanks for any help.

zxt-120, does anyone know how to get this working with HC3 running latest software. 5.130.64

Hi all... I am trying to remove a z-wave device from my HC3. I don't have the device anymore, but when i try to remove it in the menu it goes in to removing menu countdown. I can't push any buttons because i don't have the device anymore. How can i get rid of the device in my home center 3.

Hi Team, I try to develop some QuickApp on my HC3, but I have an problem with the http request : When I call an API (here switchbot api), the external API respond me an 403 error... The probleme isn't the API because the same request with an little php script works... I have tried much methods but I get only the response code 403. Recently, I have downloaded an quickapp on the marketplace. All review on it are good but for me, it's doesn't work. When I see the console logs, I can see the 403 error code from this downloaded QuickApp too. Do you have an idea for my problem ? You can find my function code here : function QuickApp:GetDeviceList() self.http = net.HTTPClient({timeout=10*1000}) local apikey = self:getVariable("apikey"); self:debug(apikey); --For debug an my token is successfuly loaded local address = "https://api.switch-bot.com/v1.0/devices" --local address = "http://10.0.10.10:1880/debug" self.http:request(address, { options = { headers = { ["Authorization"] = apikey, ["Content-Type"] = "application/json; charset=utf8", ["Accept"] = "application/json", ["User-agent"] = "Mozilla/5.0" --For try but no change }, checkCertificate = false, method = 'POST' }, success = function(response) self:debug(response.status); --return : 403 self:debug(response.data); --return: nothing self:debug(response.headers);--return: array self:debug(message); --return: nil end, }); end

I have 16 Philip Hue lamps in my house being managed from HC3. Last month I changed the connection from using a hue bridge to using the new direct integration with HC3 using Zigbee protocol. I now experience that status of the lamps (on/off intensity and color) is NOT correctly displayed any longer in Yubii and/or HC3 Website. A lamp that I can see physically is turned ON appears in the UX as turned OFF. And if I try to turn it ON it says "Unit XXXX turned ON" but nothing happens in real life. And if I refresh the page the lamp still displays status OFF!! To make things really weird, I can still turn the lamps on/off them from my block scenes. I have rebootet my HC3 and also tried to disable all firewall settings just to be sure. Anyone got a clue on how to troubleshoot this? I can st

Hi Everyone, Newbie here. I have successfully installed a smart implant to control by garage door. It acts as a push button. My problems: 1 - I would like to have the HC3 web interface (or yubi) to display a push (momentary) switch icon instead of a on/off switch icon, is it possible? 2 - I only have a small number of available icons in HC3, for exemple I can select for my smart implant a bulb icon or a siren icon, but not a garage door icon. Is there a way to solve this? 3 - Last but not least, I would like to get information about when the garage door is open and when it is closed, without using any existing hardware. I imagine that it could be possible to have some kind of seen or quick app that would do the following: - set up a variable somewhere called "status" - when switch is activated the first time set status to 1, when it is activated the second time it sets the status to 0, and so on... is there an easy way to do this and get some kind of icon displaying the status of the garage door? Thank you in advance

Cześć, Czy ktoś ma pomysł jak ustawić Aoetec Siren 6 tak, aby alarm nieprzerwanie się powtarzał do momentu rozbrojenia alarmu? Wczoraj miałem naruszenie czujki (na szczęście przez psa) i alarm włączył się tylko na 35s i cisza. Ja się obudziłem, ale reszta domowników już nie. A co jeśli jeden "dzwonek" nas nie obudzi podczas prawdziwego włamania? Jaka jest funkcja w LUA, aby powtarzać czynność do momentu spełnienia określonego warunku. (czy ten kod posiada cos jak elseif ?)

I am sharing my experience with Replacing HC3L connected as slave gateway as there's no clear guide to follow, hoping that someone have solution for it. with many attempts using different approaches, ALL FAILED. Attempt1 - from connect gateways Tab: -clicking on the replace device on the list showing on screenshot, -it asks for new gateway IP, then i got error 409 conflict , or error 409 OK. i have made sure that new gateway on the same firmware 5.130.64 as the one need to be replaced. Attempt2- i made sure that system A/B on new gateway is on 5.130.64 which identical to the one i need to replace, but still getting the same error. Attempt3- i tried to upload the backup of slave gateway manually to new one but it's refusing to upload it. Attempt4- for testing purpose factory reset one salve gateway from the connected list, and started the replace, it completed the process but no devices restored on the gateway... Anyone can help with correct procedure of replacing HC3L connected as slave gateway?
