Question
Hallamnet 17
Evening all.
Starting to get some issues with my HC2 I have had now many years (all stock with no mods), (Think I bought it when 1.xx firmware was around) and thinking of replacing for a newer HC2.
Issues I am experiencing include: -
I have performed a full factory reset of the HC2 that took it way back on the firmware level and gradually upgraded revision by revision (that did take ages) and even doing this had a few squeaky bum moments but even with only a few devices added (switches, relays, rgbw's and motion sensors that have also been reset and on latest version), the issues are still present).
The device is well out of warranty now have read that maybe a ram upgrade (4GB DDR3 1066) could help speed up the UI. While doing this, I am tempted to take off the heat sink for the CPU and clean and replace the thermal compound to help with the temperature issues. After time this can dry out and crack leaving contact with the heat sink patchy in places.
Not too sure how Fibaro generate serial numbers but if it's on the basis that HC2-00001 was the first ever one sold and HC2-000010 was the 10th ever sold, then mine would be very very old indeed!
I know Fibaro have spent a lot investing in the ios home kit world recently but haven't seen much in the way of a HC2 refresh. I know the black model came out not long ago but not too sure if this is just cosmetic or if it will have upgraded hardware compared to my current model.
So my questions are really: -
If anyone can help answer these questions it would be a big help in leading me to the right direction of renewing my system and hopefully will help others that might be in the same boat.
