General improvements

Home center 4.1.0.17

This version creates bad back up files. please update to 4.1.0.19!

Breaking change!

In this version scaling issues in the different clients were resolved!
If you made special modifications to a zone to tweak the scaling on a iPad or Android, you may need to correct the location of the buttons!

iPad app

  • For the iPad app: there was a scaling issue, so the buttons weren’t on exactly the same location as in de Android app and Windows app. This is resolved.

Android app / webbrowser

  • Scaling of screen: now always fits to the center of your window, vertically and horizontally
  • In the configuration, to better reflect there actual function:
    • Update button is now called Save
    • Reload configuration is now called Apply changes
When you hover over the buttons with the mouse their function is explained

Windows app

  • Scalling issue solved when setting a background with a different ratio then 4:3
  • Improved logging information in the about, and in the right bottom corner
  • Small UI improvements

General improvements

  • For Luxom the IP address of the DS65L is shown.
  • HISv2: An occasion crash could occur so the Home center was no longer running on the module (it was caused by network changes which messes with the operation system)
  • The manuals on the module are updated
  • When Home center restarts, now a correct ‘up time’ is shown on the status page
  • The Time sync page (for putting the time on the bus – Velbus only) is more intuitive
  • Removing Old Components sometimes did not work (in a situation where a SD card is plugged in for logging and the simulator)
  • The Presence SIMULATOR can be activated and deactivated via the Logic module!
  • The logging info by the Logic module should be more readable and more info is added to help better build the rules.
  • In the logic module: the number of available rules and number of used rules is shown.

  • Better stability for 2N intercoms (connection could get lost after aprox. 30 days)

Velbus

  • Sometimes messages for OLED screens weren’t shown
  • Set time to bus page layout is more intuitive

Closing note

This intermediate version holds some smaller improvements. We publish this version before releasing the next major new features we have been working on the last few months

Home center 3.0.0.50

Velbus

  • We added support for the VMBMETEO
  • VMB7IN minimum energy value was not correct in Windows client
  • Glass panels heater icon didn’t light up in the Home center clients

SMS

  • Due to modifications at Clickatell and CM Gateway, we had to modify the SMS interface.

2N intercom support

We added great integration which goes beyond showing live camera feed in Home center.

It is now possible to operate the in- and outputs of the 2N intercom through Home center.

For example, if you connect the 2N to open a door or gate, by using a card reader, you can react on each card individually

  • when card 1 is read, open the gate and turn on the light of the drive way and garage 1,
  • when card 2 is used, open the gate and turn on the light of the drive way and garage 2

Or just react upon opening the door: turn on the light at the front door and the hallway
you can also open the gate with a press of a button connected to your home automation system or from one of the home center clients.
