Update HC2 4.023 BETA

[I. Szymanski 0]

Fibaro Home Center 2 v 4.023 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.

4.023:

New Features

Soft Reconfiguration option allows you to save settings, parameters and device ID. Thanks to that scenes with reconfigurable device will not require editing. Full reconfiguration will remove and add the device to the Z-Wave network, resulting in the loss of its settings, parameters and change the device ID.

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.

Nest here aswell been rock solid... I do have a Netatmo in the bx which I picked up on Black Friday! Just because it looked smart... Tempted to hook it up but note sure how it weighs up against my Nest?

[TANE 12]

still running fine...almost 48H

WOOT? How many devices do you have? What brands? Did you start from scratch with V4? Come on, tell us the SECRET!

I don't understand... For me this beta feels as if Microsoft would have made a new version of "Word"... It works, but you lose all your capitals, al commas become semicolons and it crashes when you try to print. But let's call it an 'upgrade"

Still using the initial setup from version 1.X

My HC2 is running with 113 devices displayed in the zwave settings.

HCL with 60 extra devices.

Devices: Fibaro, Aeon, Danfoss, Popp, Zwave.me, Vision, Everspring, Axis, Sonos,Domoticz-Rfxcom

Hmm! I think my problem has to with this sentence from the beta description: "Beta software all devices will be automatically reconfigured to work with new system architecture. Reconfiguration progress will be shown in pop-up window."

I don't know what they are talking about... Never have seen such a window and after upgrade I have to "reconfigure" at least my Fibaro Dimmers to get sceneActivation back.

So... Why isn't my setup properly converted? Corruption in My V3 database?

Should I reset my whole network and start from scratch, adding devices one by one?

[deanrparry 19]

A reconfigure (not soft) does that for you!

[ Added: 2014-12-18, 10:44 ]

Or at least i assumed it did that hence the new id etc...

[TANE 12]

All my devices are always configured.

In the past I did use this script often to check my system.

In beta .23 this is built in

I beg to differ... I think, from the bug tracker, Fibaro ask you to try 3 things: 1) Soft Reconfigure 2) Hard Reconfigure 3) Exclude - Include

Mayby 2 doesn't reset your hardware, while option 3 does?

[ Added: 2014-12-18, 12:06 ]

local status = fibaro:getValue(id, "needConfigure");

Thanks for the script. Interesting... All my devices have status "nothing" or "5". So that shouldn't be the problem. Ow, well, I keep trying!

[deanrparry 19]

Not sure if this helps anyone but I installed a few motions sensors at work and noticed very limited information reards firmware version under device!

I then upgraded to 4.023 and excluded and included motions sensors again and there is a LOT more information about the devices! So it looks like excluding and including does work a lot better than a simple reconfiguration which did not work for me!

Reconfiguration does not equal exclude/include as i presumed!

[petergebruers 1,268]

Reconfiguration does not equal exclude/include as i presumed!

Sooooo... We agree. But should we start from scratch, instead of wasting our time doing "reconfigure" then?

[deanrparry 19]

Hmmm that's a tough one! I gave 80 odd devices with scenes etc... I don't fancy bulk lol one by one!

[ Added: 2014-12-18, 18:20 ]

Actually soft config works if you go mad on the inclusion button to keep device awake!

You will see firmware version added and who knows what else in api?

Doh! It would be nice if we could detect if a device is still "V3" or has been click-like-hell-I-have-been-reconfigured "V4"...

I guess Fibaro has no time to explain because they are busy fixing bugs (no puns here!)?

[candrea77 26]

Since i update my system to 4.023 , my system for two times have automatically go in alarm mode.

First time during night. Alarm system was armed but anybody have breached any sensor. No enrty found in log.

Second time 5 minutes ago. System was not armed but alarm start !!!!!

I thin this bug must be analyzed

If you want remote access to my system to investigate it , let me know.

Maybe it is related to my problem. If I upgrade to 4.X, my Fibaro flood sensor will start sending mail notifications. It never does that under 3.590. Fibaro asked if anything was in my log... but there is nothing related to the flood sensor. Fibaro closed my bug report.
