When is the update for the HC3 expected?

[pvo 2]

I was told there was an update scheduled for the HC3 on 20-02-2020 I didn’t see anything. When is the update for the HC3 expected?

[Thomasn 77]

Just after it is finished and ready for shipment. That moment will be between now and later.

Soon... the version is not finished yet... you have to wait

They should release the firmware as it is today so we could at least use basic functions like os.time. Heard it is much better anyway than the one that came installed on date of sale. It is still much, much work to be done.

Yes, the new version aka 5.0.21 exists, the beta testers already have it. Patience, my friends... There will be an update for HC2 as well, 4.581 but I cannot say when.

Yeah, did not post last digits because mine is still at 5.0.21.11. I guess we'll have to get used to those extra digits 

 

BTW I expect Fibaro to post a "full revision log" with fixes and improvements so you no longer have to speculate about that.

i think i posted it already in polish subforum, so once again here. Fibaro siad 20.02, and we still have 3:15 left till 20.02 ends

Is it confirmed if os.time will be available in the new release coming soon?

Well, it depends on what year also they mean  Wish they could release this beta now. I do think HC3 will be great, but the release firmware was not, and the beta is so much better, so I wished they would not hold it back for so long. All in all, there will be enough frequent updates to fix all things, so they could release a new firmware next week, and the next, and the next... - but not hold this crucial one back from the public. Betas are released frequently on the HC2 without major issues, and this beta fixes so many basic things that are not working.

Hi @petergebruers I know it's not par of the changelog, but do you know if getGlobalModificationTime is  back ? :

I manage it by getting the timestamp from a json query but it much faster having such command that was existing before ...

Thank you !

Not back... I wasn't aware that it was missing  - I've reported it 5 minutes ago. As you say, the API exposes it so not sure why they don't exist as a function.

@tinman question was about modification time of a global variable (variables panel), not device, afaik fibaro.get does not work with global variables, did I miss something?

No you're right, fibaro.get() is for devices and except if i'm wrong doesn't accpt globals.

Thank you for your feedback guys !

[tinman 1,028]

ahh ok, no, one have to use api.get for that

Hi @jgab thank you for your feedback ! this is exactly what i did to workaround the missing "getGlobalModificationTime" function, but the question is more why did it has been removed. Is this done on purpose or just forget ?

And i jump into the disctution about the os.time/date revivale to ask about that one

[Pete123 3]

I got a message from support today. Release is postponed to "in a nearly future, maybe in a start of march."
