 Extremely quick and efficient hardware structure
Intel Atom 1,6Ghz Processor
Thanks to its efficiency, Home Center 2 is much, much faster than other Z-Wave gateways currently on the market. The communication within the Z-Wave network has improved dramatically, resulting in immediate response to commands sent by the home automation system user.
4GB MLC Recovery Disc
Significantly improved user safety thanks to Fibaro's proprietary approach to data protection. Each Home Center 2 has its own Recovery disc, holding system backup, unique to each gateway. This completely prevents unauthorized access to the system. Another advantage of this solution is quick and simple system healing after any failure.
1GB RAM,
2GB SLC Hard Drive,
Large memory + fast processor = quick communication between Fibaro System devices. Hardware architecture used in Home Center 2 makes Z-Wave based home automation system work much faster then ever.
Quick and easy installation
Connect wires as shown in below figure.
Plug the power cord to the POWER and the network cable to LAN port
After ca.2 minutes from connecting to power socket, Home Center 2 is ready to operate. By default, Home Center 2 waits to get an IP address from Your DHCP server. If unsure, hold RECOVERY button for a while when power on. By doing this Home Center 2 will automatically get static IP 192.168.81.1 To access the control panel, type the Home Center 2 IP address in your web browser's address bar.
New possibilities thanks to Linked Devices
Home Center 2 gives You new possibilities thanks to Linked Devices. The Linked Devices function lets you combine multiple devices into one virtual device with combined functionality - for example 3 heater thermostats plus temperature and humidity sensors. The primary advantage of this feature is the convenience of being able to control multiple devices at the same time, at the press of one button. The second advantage is a reduction of the number of devices icons in the user interfaces.
Great comfort thanks to Devices Panels
The Home Center 2 interface gives You easy control over groups of devices responsible for the same functionality - heating, air conditioning, garden watering. Thanks to Devices Panels, you can easily schedule operations for groups of devices, based on the day of the week or the time of day.
Geolocalization
Home Center 2 gives You another unique functionality - finding Your family members. Now You will always know where Your children are, without the need to call them each 5 minutes. Home Center 2 will get their location for You.
Home Center 2 shows Your family member
route and current position on a map. Home Center 2 connects to mobile phones with Fibaro Mobile Application installed to check their current position. Fibaro Mobile Application locates the family member and informs
Home Center 2 about it.
Advanced Scenes
Home Center 2 offers new approach to scenes. Now scenes may be conditioned on any, user defined variable.
Example Scene 1 "Rain"
If raining:
- close roof windows,
- turn garden sprinklers OFF,
- set "it rained" variable to 1.
Example Scene 2 "Turn garden sprinklers on at 6:00 am"
Each day at 6:00 am check if "it rained" (user defined variable).
If not ("it rained" variable = 0) - turn the sprinklers ON.
Example Scene 3 "Reset variable"
If "it rained" and 12 hours passed from that time:
- set "it rained" variable value to 0.
