There was a post some time ago

I think Ipad 1 was no longer supported.

akatar, Which app do you have problems with? Fibaro for iPhone or Fibaro for iPad?

you can not change the game rules half way

when i bought ipad 1, it was working, i did not read somewhere that after an update ipad is not working anymore?

if so, can i exchange them for ipad 2 at fibaro?

You cannot have used it for a while? iPad 1 support stopped a LONG time ago did it not?

[akatar 208]

thats correct,

i used it some time ago, and i thought: why not turn that thing on

but i did not know or read somewhere that it's not working anymore?

What a shame but yes it maybe time to get yourself an iPad 2 or even better an Android tablet

i am not buying a ipad 2/3/4 because...

what i read between the line there is a possibility that fibaro chooses to stop supporting ipad 2/3

My ipad1 works perfectly with "Fibaro for iPhone" application.

App "Fibaro for iPad" doesn't work, but it never worked before.

You should know that mostly these restrictions are caused by apple. I think many updates as well newest iOS doesnt work on iPad 1? Same with fibrao app - this is made for newest iOS systems to work with.

You should know that mostly these restrictions are caused by apple

i've seen more support in a £3 ebay underwired bra!

[akatar 208]

like i said, when i bought hc2 the ipad worked

the hardware did not change, and now the ipad 1 is not workong anymore

and someone who is a reseller tells me that's it's apple's fault not fibaro

which is Obvious, there is a lot of money to be earned, so ofcourse it's never fibaro's fault

[emielstroeve 22]

Ipad1 runs iOS5.1.1 max. This is ancient software with lots of limitations.

Every software vendor stops support of older software to get the maximum out of their application. This is common strategy so it's nobody's fault.

The bad thing is that you can't upgrade an ipad1, and again, that's also common practise for software developers.

The only thing we can't deal with is that for the newer type of devices the lifecycle is much shorter than we were used to.

so this can happen with every version.

people who are using ipads to control their home must save money because every year there is a change to throw them all away if you want to control hc2

[emielstroeve 22]

ah, you're getting the point

try installing the latest modern iPad apps on your ipad1, many are not available.

for instance: the Vera apps run from iOS6 upwards.
