List of engine 3.0 (not) compatible devices available?


Question

Posted (edited)

Hello,

 

I just moved to HC3 and decided to use the zwave engine 3.

I had a HC2 and about 70 devices. Yes, now there is a hard road to go.

 

But unfortunately the road gets even harder because I have some serious problems adding the devices.

I started with the fibaro smoke sensors. Some worked from the beginning, other had problems beeing added in S0 mode. Pretty often they were not configured right as well.

I guess 7 smoke sensors took me about 3 hours.

 

I tried the Fibaro wall plugs too. Same problems here. I tried 2 of them. Only one was recognized but unfortunately it is installed as a binary switch with no configuration and no secure mode. Right now it is not available anymore.

 

I tried a Fibaro dimmer 2. Same here. Recognized as binary switch. Not in secure mode. I removed it and until now I am not able to add it to the HC3 again.

 

I also have got some Widom modules. For example the dry contact module. They all worked fine on HC2. Seems like they are not compatible with HC3 at all. If I press the B-button absolutely nothing happens on HC3.

 

Yes, I know it is beta but as you can imagine, this is pretty frustrating.
Before I have to keep trying new ones, can you tell me which devices are guaranteed to work correctly at the moment?
Or are there criteria by which I can tell that a device is definitely not working?

Will every old device and third party module work sooner or later with HC3 engine 3 or where will a cut be made?

 

After all, the smoke alarms seem to be stable. At least something.

 

Thanks.

 

regards
Mr. Coffee

I am in a similar situation. I moved to the HC-3 following the death of my previous HC-2, and I didn't know anything about the new zwave engine at that time. So I naturally updated the HC3 with the latest software available, I spent 2 days rewriting all my scenes, but I still have issues with some of my devices. Unfortunately they have an important role in my system as they are part of energy control and load shedding (Zipato PAB01, recognized, but only 1st endpoint is reporting measurements and no way to set parameters. The HC2 displayed global, CT1 and CT2 endpoints measurements, and let me set parameters even a template wasn't available).

 

I am also frustrated with this situation, I have been hesitant for several weeks to start all over again by going back to the zwave engine 2, but I am afraid that an engine 3 update that will fix the problems will come right after I have spent time reconfiguring everything under engine 2...

 

Finally, I ask the same question as Mr Coffee: Will every old device and third party module work sooner or later with HC3 Engine 3 or where will a cut be made?

 

An answer to this question will make it possible to decide which path to take.

 

Thanks
