3.907:

This version mainly concentrate on adding better support and integration for more devices (not only z-wave device).

Important part of software responsible for management z-wave devices was rebuild from the scratch for better support different devices types.

New Home Center software introduces support for plugins. Plugins give support for new devices and new functionalities without modifying HC Firmware. Plugins can be used for controlling devices via different protocols and standards like TCP/IP, IR*, RS 232*, UPNP. Plugins have their own user interface and can call all APIs available on HC2. Possibility of building plugins by independent developers will be introduced in next versions.

* required additional hardware.

New functionalities

Drag & Drop for devices and scenes - available on home, devices and rooms screens. Assigning devices to rooms and changing its order is now much easier and faster.

Magic Scenes - new, simplified and easy to use graphical way to create scenes based on condition > action flow.

Temperature Panel - allows to see history of temperature changes in rooms and on each device.

Diagnostic Panel - general information about HC working condition like CPU & RAM usage, free space on hard drive. Will be extended in future versions.

New Z-Wave engine - redesigned and rewritten from the scratch. Now is faster and has better support for devices.

Z-Wave Door Locks support - controlling and PIN settings.

Thermostats - extended controlling for thermostats from manufacturers like: Honeywell, Trane Corporation.

Extended tamper for sensors - exclusive information for motion detection and violation of sensors.

Fibaro Smoke Sensor extended support - level of smoke and gap to alarm level is reported and visible on charts at iPad and Web Page. Sensitivity level is now easier to set.

Fibro Motion Sensor new device - when seismometer mode is turned on new device reporting tremors is available. Charts for temperature and illuminance. Additionally information about sensor violation.

Device hiding - device that is not in use can be hide without removing it.

Device deactivation - deactivated device is visible in UI but can't be controlled.

Multithreading added for HC (server and z-wave) - now engines work much faster.

Users who use version alpha from 3.901 to 3.906 need to perform recovery first and update from 3.590 after restoring backup.

[elisiussen 8]

Deanrparry, did you do something special in order to get the zwave.me controller connected? I can't make it work either, ever since 3.590 where they worked fine.

None of them exposes the sceneactivation property - one is even installed as a dimmer...

[deanrparry 19]

Sorry not using sceneactivation with them you will get a nil value only associating devices directly in groups for me!

[akatar 208]

there are 2 versions deanrparry, the "normal" version and the .me

[deanrparry 19]

my part # is ZME_WCD2

[JanJoh 1]

Uhm, i guess i spoke to soon.

After 4.020 my 4-in-1 (which have all been excluded and then reincluded with 4.020) burns through a set of 1000mAh batteries in about 30 hours....

Any idea?

And event panel does not show all devices. I have four aeon 4-in-1

But i only see parts. "Tvättstuga" has a 4-in-1 and "Sovrum" has a 4-in-1 and there is anohter in room "Framsida".

Oh, and there is no 4.020 category in Mantis bugtracker yet...

Thank you for the update Fibaro. Please let there be continual updates as bugs are fixed for those that want to be running the latest beta.. I hope this is a sign that there is an improvement in communications.

[robmac 173]

... i have a 4in1 Aeon sensor that gets "stuck" and reports a "1" continuesly....

Don't have that problem, but my dimmers lost association to the HC2... Could it be that HC2 is no longer listed in some of the associations?

Edit: I'll see if a have a spare 4 in 1 somewhere... To test its behavior as a "fresh" device. All mine were converted...

Edit2: Found one! I added it without a hitch and all 4 functions are updating...

no polling so if a message goes missing or your device does not support association it will not stay synced between device and controller.

[petergebruers 1,268]

no polling so if a message goes missing or your device does not support association it will not stay synced between device and controller.

I can confirm the occasional mismatch between device and HC2. I don't have a device that doesn't support association, don't know about that.

There is a way to reproduce this problem. Make a backup. While running, switch a Fibaro relay or dimmer with its hardware switch. Status will be wrong. I'm speculating that they stop z-wave communication while running a backup.

Time to go back to 3.X?

[sj3fk3 27]

my part # is ZME_WCD2

Try deleting one completely and then add it again. See if that works for you.. I've got both ZME_WCD2 and ZME_WALLC-S and both add as crap..

Fibaro could you please enlighten us? Is z-wave.me support fixed or not?

[Razvan 2]

I don't have any option to upgrade to 4.020 firmware.

Any ideea?

[deanrparry 19]

sorry had to go back to 3.590 4.020 turned into a nightmare scenario... sorry i cannot advise anymore on beta as i don't think i have confidence enough now to try it again! really felt like a winner when i first installed then "splat" it turned to * REAL QUICK!

[alandee 79]

I don't have any option to upgrade to 4.020 firmware.

also thanks fibaro, more bug fixes is so good, please keep up the bug fixes before you start introducing more, this is a great path to take, and restores faith in a great product.

cheers,

I have updated to version 4.020.

all my previous backup's are gone or not visible under backup & recovery.

if i try to make a new backup it shows the backup process. the new backup is also not

visible under backup & recovery.

Fibaro, can you help?

[chiwawa 0]

Same problem here.

spoke to soon... added a simple magic scene and have lost access to box... restarts etc not working /docs does not list scenes so cannot delete culprit... and no ssh details so i either nuke box to defaults again or wait weeks for fibaro to connect and fix! * gutted just when i had a glimmer of faith!

You can delete the magic scene via the api, then all will work again.

p.s.

the z-wave.me wall controllers doe not work. I can add them, but this is what they look like:

Please read what i put again

/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="https://forum.fibaro.com/uploads/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> no access to api! And my zwave.me controllers DID work I promise

[petergebruers 1,268]

Back to 3.590 - not only because there are still too many bugs, but also because i think it's better to go from 3.590 to 4.021 than to go from 4.020 to 4.021. I'm not certain that my database on 4.020 still is in good shape. I can't prove otherwise, but one of my devices disappeared from the database. Maybe I clicked on "delete" and then on "yes, I am sure". But I can't remember doing that... Too much wine? Or too much beta?

[Guest Kuuno]

does someone use json in this fashion?

json = json.encode(jsonTable);

HC2:PUT("/api/panels/heating?id="..zoneid, json)

for me it is not working anymore. json decode works ok

thanks

[Guest MitchellOnline]

I get Access Forbidden 403 when I try to run a scene, and I am logged in with admin.

By the previous beta 4.019 I did not have this problem.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

[Guest Lode]

so horstmann not fixed and universal sensor temperature broken.

danfoss latest version broken

Universal sensor temperature working correct here but i had to exclude/include in v4.018.

Today suddenly got an alarm that the temperature dropped below 2 degrees in laundryroom but the UI shows 14 degrees wich is correct so yes universal sensor with temp sensor passes incorrect values.

[Guest MikeGooder]

Hi All

horstmann boiler switch seems to work now, but it does not appear in the list of devices that can be linked for heating,

Please login or register to see this image.

/emoticons/default_icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />

Tried to put a scene together to do the heating instead for now, but the value returned from the temperature sensors was not correct to seemed to jump between the temperature from any of the temperature sensors or 10

so had to go back to 3.590 as wife moaning about the heating

made a bug report on bugzilla:

0002138: Universal Binary Sensor wrong temperature in scene's

if someone has to add something too that, please do

hope this gets fixed fast because i use the sensor as anti freeze protection on my water pipes outside, and it is going to freeze here.
