Important part of software responsible for management z-wave devices was rebuild from the scratch for better support different devices types.
New Home Center (HC) software introduces support for plugins. Plugins give support for new devices and new functionalities without modifying HC Firmware. Plugins can be used for controlling devices via different protocols and standards. Plugins have their own user interface and can call all APIs available on HC. Possibility of installing plugins developed by independent developers will be introduced in next versions.
New functionalities
Drag & Drop for devices and scenes – available on home, devices and rooms screens. Assigning devices to rooms and changing its order is now much easier and faster.
Temperature Panel – allows to see history of temperature changes in rooms and on each device.
Diagnostic Panel – general information about HC working condition like CPU & RAM usage, free space on hard drive. Will be extended in future versions.
Soft Device Reconfiguration - option allows to save settings, parameters and device ID. Thanks to that scenes with reconfigurable device will not require editing. Full reconfiguration will remove and add the device to the Z-Wave network, resulting in the loss of its settings, parameters and change the device ID…
