I cannot get my HC2 in recovery mode... can someone help me? When I hold the + button and reconnect the power. The LED run the other way than normal. When it is full, it stays that way and nothing happens... the box is not available either.

A.Socha & Co.

Do we get auto updates with the alpha?

[Krikroff 199]

stevenvd, after power off have you try to hold both button and power on the box ?

[stevenvd 51]

No I haven't, will try...

But I will wait now till after the remote sessions with Fibaro. As they want to build support for the Greenwave power measurements

[Guest labomatik]

For me i've now zombie devices, all my smoke sensors are containing now 2 childs '1 alarm and one temperature'

I'm waiting the access on Bug tracker to see what is already there.

This is not a bug. This is superb solution! Now you can make difference between smoke and temperature alarms, also use smoke sensor to adjust heating etc. If you go to advanced menu then you can hide or block these devices if they annoy you.

[stevenvd 51]

Tane, I would recommend not to update for your own home HC2... it is not very usable. Or do you want to test something specific?

[TANE 12]

Testing....

I have a HCL running for the main systems.

Hope the next version will be more stabile.

Like to test the multimedia possibilities..

What about H.264 cameras in this build?

I am afraid It will not be available in closest updates. However we are working on to release it in future.

TANE,

User icons are not kept in HC2 backup so each time after full recovery they are lost and need to be reuploaded.

[TANE 12]

Thank you.

Recovery was fine..

Will move all my devices to the HCL for more testing the HC2

new concept is amazing.

Will the Roomba plugin use the RooWifi?

TANE,

User icons are not kept in HC2 backup so each time after full recovery they are lost and need to be reuploaded.

That's just silly.

What possible line of reasoning may be behind such a decision?
