HC3 Menu A macOS menu bar app to control your Fibaro Home Center 3 from the top of your screen — toggle lights, dim, open shutters, set thermostats, see sensor values, and get notifications when things change. Highlights Devices grouped by Room → Type, plus a re-orderable Favorites list. Switches, dimmers, shutters, thermostats, sensors, scenes, alarm/profiles. Three notification streams: device state changes, attention (battery/dead/breach), QA errors & crashes. Live Debug-messages window with filter, severity picker, follow-tail, copy, and Copy QA id for the selected row. Configurable global hotkey to drop the menu from anywhere. Optional daily auto-check for new releases. Signed & notarized DMG; in-app crash reporter. Install Download the latest HC3-Menu-x.y.z-arm64.dmg or HC3-Menu-x.y.z-x86_64.dmg from the Releases page. Open the DMG and drag HC3 Menu into the Applications folder. Launch HC3 Menu from Applications. A house icon appears in the menu bar. Allow Local Network access The first time HC3 Menu tries to reach your HC3, macOS should pop up: Click Allow, then quit HC3 Menu (⌘Q) and launch it again — macOS only applies the new permission to a freshly started process. If you missed the prompt or connections fail with "No route to host" (errno 65): Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network and toggle HC3 Menu on, then quit and relaunch. If HC3 Menu isn't in the list, reset its privacy state in Terminal: tccutil reset All com.jangabrielsson.hc3menu open "/Applications/HC3 Menu.app" Then click Refresh in the menu so it tries to connect again and re-triggers the prompt. Connect to your HC3 Open the menu and choose Preferences…, then on the Connection tab fill in: Host — your HC3's IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.50) User / Password — an HC3 account with API access PIN (optional) — required only if your HC3 enforces a PIN for certain actions Click Save. The menu will populate within a second or two. Using HC3 Menu Click the house icon in the menu bar. Favorites — your starred devices, always at the top. Rooms — devices grouped by room, then by type within each room. Plus (when present on your HC3) Alarm, Profiles, Scenes, Attention, Activity, Debug messages, Diagnostics. Inside each device submenu: Switches — click the row to toggle on/off. Dimmers — click the row to toggle on/off; Set value… opens a slider/input for 0–100 %. Shutters — Open / Close / Stop. Thermostats — set heating mode and target temperature. Sensors — read-only value (temperature, lux, humidity, motion…). ☆ Add to favorites / ★ Remove from favorites — manage favorites per device. Notifications Three independent notification streams, all toggleable from the Notifications submenu in the menu bar: Device state changes — In Preferences → Notifications, tick the Notify column for any device whose state changes you want delivered to Notification Center (e.g. front door opened, motion in garage). Attention — Battery-low, dead devices, sensor breach, alarm partition state changes. De-duplicated so you don't get spammed each poll cycle. QA errors & crashes — QuickApp error/fatal debug messages (per-QA throttled) and HC3 PluginProcessCrashedEvent events. Favorites Star a device with ☆ Add to favorites in any device submenu. Manage the list in Preferences → Favorites: Drag rows to reorder — the order is reflected in the menu bar's Favorites submenu. Select a row + Remove to unstar it. Global hotkey Open the menu from anywhere with a configurable chord (default ⌃⌥⌘H). Toggle it on from the menu (or Preferences → Shortcuts) and click Record… to set your own combo. Debug log window Activity → Debug messages → Open window opens a live log of all QuickApp debug/trace/warning/error messages with filter, severity picker, follow-tail, copy, and Copy QA id to grab the QuickApp's id from the selected row (the HC3 web UI has no stable per-QA URL, so we copy the id instead of opening a browser). If a QuickApp itself crashes on the HC3, a one-time notification fires and the crash is recorded in the Activity list. Crash reporter If HC3 Menu itself hits an unhandled exception, the traceback is written to ~/.hc3menu/crash.log and a one-time notification appears. Use Show crash log from the menu to inspect it. Check for updates Check for updates… fetches the latest GitHub release and opens the download page if a newer version is available. Enable Auto-check daily in the same submenu to have HC3 Menu poll once per day in the background; it only surfaces UI when something newer actually exists. Where settings are stored ~/.hc3menu/.env — host, user, password, PIN (plain text; chmod 600 recommended). ~/.hc3menu/config.json — favorites and notification rules. To start fresh, quit HC3 Menu and rm -rf ~/.hc3menu. Troubleshooting Problem Try "No route to host" / errno 65 Allow Local Network access (see above), then quit and relaunch. Menu shows nothing / "HC3 connection failed" Verify host/user/password in Preferences.

Recently, I've had a lot of problems accessing Home Center Lite Adminstration page. Right now the page load freezes completely with Safari 9.1.3, Chrome 54.0.2840.71 and my iPads Safari. After logging in via home.fibaro.com I am forwarded to black home page (picture1) and when i click 'main page -link' I see a dimmed main console and get endless load bar on top. My apps work fine on Android and iOS meaning my Fibaro Lite is not down - just can't access the system with browser. Anyone having similar problems??
