Fibaro Home Center 2 v 4.021 BETA.

Beta version is designed for user testing and soon will be released as official.

WARNING! After installing this upgrade backups from version 1.x and 3.x will be retained but hidden because they are incompatible with the version 4.x. In case of update from old version, v1.x, after that update all users will be deleted. Admin password will be reset. Also update to Beta software all devices will be automatically reconfigured to work with new system architecture. Reconfiguration progress will be shown in pop-up window.

This update can last longer than previous. If this update lasts longer than 30 minutes, please go to main HC2 address (e.g. 192.168.0.1).

If "System temporarily unavailable" text will appear during update, please wait - you will be redirected to the main page when all services start.

Added support for American English (EN-US)

Plugins:

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.

Event panel moved - for better usability now is available in menu on right side of screen.

User rights management - moved to Configuration.

Block Scenes improvements - for device only available actions are visible, scene activation block added and logical conditions grouping using brackets.

Lua Scenes - updated tooltips for devices.

I beleive that mesh routing is somehow broken in 4.018 and above.

I have an aeon 4-in-1 just outside my front door. It has been working lovely ever since i got it.

But since 4.018 it just does not update anymore. If i move it indoor, just inside the front door it comes back to life.

Just inside the door is also an Fibaro Dimmer and 2x15,Kw swithc. I beleive they have previously been routing the signal for the outside 4-in-1.

The node does NOT get flagged as dead by fibaro. And i have now tried three different 4-in-1 with the same result.

I have excluded/reincluded the devices. I have tried to use "reconfigure mesh network" and wating for 24h+

[UrSv 6]

I have similar problem with a Duwi IP44 switch that works fin indoors but not if I move it to my back entrance.

I have similar problem with a Duwi IP44 switch that works fin indoors but not if I move it to my back entrance.

Did you try to update the network?

I can't find the patron.

Devices close to the HC2 are also dead is some cases. One click will wake them up.

[UrSv 6]

I tried "update neighbour" but haven't had time to investigate further. I will soon...

[JanJoh 1]

Values are not reflected in mobile client, or api

As you can see in the screenshots the 4-in-1 does report values to HC2. But these reports are not reflected in mobile clients, or in API

first thing you have to know: what are dead nodes exactly?

as long you (we) don't know, it will be guessing what it is

i never saw this with other controllers

[candrea77 26]

first thing you have to know: what are dead nodes exactly?

In my system , when try to set some parameter to a Danfoss LC12 , it say transfer failed then it go to dead state.

So I think (but fibaro can reply to use in order to better understand) that a dead node is a zwave device that does not respond to zwave command sent by HC2.

This can be during a state change (for light devices if i try to turn it on but it does not respond , system will mark it as dead) ..... or during a normal polling interval (if system try to ping a device and it does not respond , HC2 mark it as dead) !!!!

This is IMHO ..... I'll wait for correct fibaro answer !!!!

[alandee 79]

Keep the updates coming!

These are just what we have been yearning for .. some stability, bug fixes and minimal new features!

Waiting patiently for the next one. Great work to all the Fibaro team & although it's taken some time, thanks for listening.

Bugzilla 2187 filed. Buttons on iPad highlight when running through tabs in diagnostics panel.

Tweak / Trivial.

HEM still doesn't appear to work, but I'd forgotten it was in my meter box so that's cool .. I'll reconfig, re add and if it doesn't come up, i'll revisit my existing bugzilla.

Cheers,

al.

Fibaro: What are dead nodes?

How do they come about?

Upgraded to 4.021

Got a lot of ´Main_Zwave_Device` in my network some being a ´master´ some being a ´slave`

My curtain system (forest) has a master and a slave config now, and there is an alarm the battery of that particulair sensor is low, which is odd cause there is no battery that device.

[petergebruers 1,268]

Upgraded to 4.021 Got a lot of ´Main_Zwave_Device` in my network some being a ´master´ some being a ´slave`

Revert to 3.X (aka "stable") ASAP and maybe try the next beta. Conversion did not work as expected. Don't try to fix this by yourself. So revert or do nothing and mail to fibaro and ask for assistance.

Where can i find the revert option? Tried several menus but I can't find any revert option

Restoring the latest 'auto backup' shows the right devices, the ´Main_Zwave_Device` shows up after a zwave reconfigure action (mass or solo)

I like 4.021 so far, @fibaro feel free to pm me to get access to my HC2

[petergebruers 1,268]

I've asked Fibaro to explain "reconfigure". I have no answer yet. Until I have the answer, I don't press the reconfigure button! You saw what happened when you pressed that button! Recovery procedure is in the manual, page 91. This the url of the manual:
