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.

I use a Vantage Pro 2 with the Solar and Radiation sensors.

It comes with rain, wind, humidity, temperature. Here is the link to my Weather Underground page so that you can see what data it outputs as well as a webcam I have attached to the mount.

[markdyer 1]

Impressive, way to go developers. Please keep the quick updates coming as bug fixes are worked on.. Thank you

[hvb83 1]

I can only join the rest here; very nice to see that you are going to release new versions every few days. We don't care that there are bugs in there, we know that, that's why it's beta. We don't care that only a few bugs have been solved in between updates. We know that and we want that. Small incremental improvements is good for everybody; the developers get to see the direct results of their efforts and the people here stay happy because we see improvement and feel like something useful is done with our feedback.

[remcoploeg 10]

+1 !

[deanrparry 19]

So how is this for everyone? running well or still some nasty bugs? whats the reconfiguration bug like now? devices still vanish rendering the system inoperable or is it simply changing device id?

[D-Vine 65]

good to see the progress. +1

Hope soon all things get stable enough to upgrade and join the beta testers

[Guest spazpeker]

Is it Just me ?

I have 13 HRT4-ZW and ASR-ZW, you can now associate them, the icons now look correct

however when the HRT4-ZW demands heat the ASR-ZW switches on but the HC2 still shows them as off

you can turn the ASR-ZW on and off via the HC2 so they are connected

[hvb83 1]

It going to be a while before I dare to take that plunge. With a little baby I don't rely on any of the current beta's to control the heating. My current version does the trick...
