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.

Hello Fibaro,

I see that the alarm settings for individual sensors is changed again. It loved how it was, could you tell me if there is a specific reason for this?

In a few versions it was possible to set a sensor to: "always disarmed" save that. and then set it to "exclude from alarm". In that way it would not show the "arm" and "disarm" on the sensor and also not be used by the alarm panel.

If you now try to do that it will reset the "always disarmaed" state whenever you exclude it from the alarm. Which in my opinion is strange, as it is then not used by the alarm but you can still arm and disarm it. Although I understand some users might find it handy, I think it should be possible to select both: "always armed or disarmed" and "excluded from the alarm".

Would you agree?

That's fast. Good. But because my home is not a lab, I'm doubting if I would upgrade (from 3.X). Too many open issues. Maybe when I'm feeling bored

I am very pleased to see the increased release speed of new betas. Now that the Horstmann / Secure thermostats should be working I think I might give these betas a go again.

Keep up the work Fibaro.

Thumbs up for the quick release cycles recently, keep up the good work and eliminate those bugs. That's the way to go.

Unfortunately my Z-wave.me controllers are still not connected correctly. At least now they don't show up as dimmers - they actually show up as remote controls - so far so good - but they still do not expose the sceneActivation property required to trigger scenes. Next time maybe.

I agree with fat. More frequent updates would be much better.

I f I was a Fibaro programmer I would be very glad to read “Great Fibaro, my straggling unit works great after the last release!”.

It is also easier to confirm few bug fixes at time than many.

I think it would be a faster and easier process to make a stable program.

Has enyone else lost the abillity to select icons for their devices?

When I press the "change icon" button, I get no icons at all to select from - not even the one already used for the device (all existing icons are shown in the user interface).
