Experience with HC2

[Spiritflyer 1]

Hello all,

 

since a few years I'm a Home Center Light user.

Last year I added 6 rollerblind modules to the system and quite a lot of scenes to control them.

In total I have 48 scenes (not just rollerblinds), 23 are on automatic response.

12 scenes set variables in the system to which other scenes respond.

 

My HCL is running almost always at 99% RAM. The system freezes a lot.

 

I've had several contacts with Fibaro Support, last answer I got was to simplify my scenes and not to use delays in them.

Well I would imagine that this system was made to work with scenes and while there is an option to use a delay, you can use it.

I only have 16 modules installed. I can't image the system still working if you would use 100+ modules on this system. (I think 254 is the max)

 

I am wondering how is your experience with the HC2. Are you having the same issues?

RAM at 99%, freezes and so on? Maybe you are using (a lot) more modules and scenes.

 

Would my system work better if I upgrade to an HC2? And maybe rewrite my scenes in LUA.

I really don't know what to do anymore. Fibaro Support isn't really helping.

 

Any response, tips, experience is welcome!

 

Kind regards,

 

Chris

i would:

buy a hc2 (online shop, so you can return it after a couple of days)

use the hcl as slave unit and disable all the programs.

after importing the hcl as slave in the hc2, create the programs on the hc2 and see how it runs.
