Update hardwear hc2


Fabrizio1969

Question

Hello everyone
I recently bought a used hc2 to make the first experiences with
the z-wave network, now I find myself with 15 devices and about twenty scenes, everything seems to work well, but checking the hc2 I have a CPU use of 5% max and a ram at 66%, question:
can i increase the ram?
can i mount an internal hdd?
can I change the processor to a faster one?

thank you

I don’t think there is any need to upgrade. There will be bigger setups out there.  
 

I expect the HomeCenter 3 will have more of all.

  • Hello
    I thought with the so low cost of the components you could upgrade HC2 to speed it up, and wait to buy an HC3 with all its functions active (see zigbee disabled).

    sorry for the bad english but use a translator

    You can not upgrade the processor. It is soldered to the keyboard.

    You could upgrade the RAM. However the processor can only address slightly more than is already installed.

    You can change the battery on the keyboard if needed be.

    Hi,

    68% seems a bit high

    I had 4GB Ram >>>>around 15-20% (You can devide your 68 by 4. Processor 15-25 % with peaks 70%

    around 150 devices and before I used ER I had 80 scenes.

    Should check perhaps Zwave traffic?

    When do you see 68% open the window and wait a while to see whats its doing.

    Succes ,

    No problems with your English ?

     

    I started with the HC2 (now on the HC3) and experienced no problems with the HC2 with my 60 physic devices. Although one always want more and faster, I think there is no need tho upgrade and the platform also doesn't support upgrades (as far as I know without a soldering device?).

     

    Many happy users on this forum. (And also many unhappy HC3 users, hahaaa)
