Shut down HC2? - solved

[JanJoh 1]

A quick forum search seem to indicate that it is _not_ possible to shut down the HC2 remotely, is this correct?

I would like to fire an event when my UPS reports low battery.

So, a possibility to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Hm, the HC2 does auto start when AC is reconnected, right?

Yes, remotely you can only restart the HC2.

Why is there no 'graceful shut down' possible on these devices....

Please check date of previous posts before commenting. They are outdated!

It is possible to shut down HC2 remotely but not with the button from web GUI. From web GUI is possible only to restart HC.

 

To shutdown HC you need to setup scene or VD and in code insert function

 

        HomeCenter.SystemService.shutdown()

 

and then you can remotely run scene or press button on VD to shut down HC.

 

It is implemented from firmware 4.081 up. I have HC2 on UPS and have sensor that registers power loss and starts scene which sends me notification that there is interruption in electricity supply. Then it switches off all nonessential consumers that are connected to same UPS. After that if there is still no power back after 40 min then gracefully shuts down HC2 with above function.
