Hi @Bebitoo, My house is still controlled by HC2. it does the job very good. Sometimes it lags a bit, but our comfort is not influenced by this occasional lags. It is expected behavior since I have many z-wave devices and even more Virtual devices to handle. Now I'm preparing my HC3 to take over. I believe that it will do even better job than HC2 thanks to quick apps and a bit better possibilities to integrate at least devices that I have. I try HA and I didn't like it on the first. Most probably because with HA I have to start from scratch while for Fibaro I already have tons of code. On the other hand I know several people who left Fibaro for HA and after few months of struggle they are now happy. Learning curve was steep, but as I was told YAML i JINJA are not so hard to learn. I think that selecting which way to go with home automation is a personal thing so I can't tell you what is best for you. When I decided to go with home automation I give myself a year time to investigate and at the end I decided that Fibaro is the best. I still think the same regardless of some trouble. Also, when I decide to buy some new device I always fist check that will work with Fibaro regardless of the price.

Hi @Bebitoo, I have the same setup, except that I use another thermostat. I guess there is no much users that needs integration of Netatmo thermostat with Fibaro gateways. Are you still on HC2? If you are on HC2, do you plan to move to HC3 any time soon? I ask because I stop developing for HC2 some time ago and now I'm busy developing for HC3.

Hi @Bebitoo, What is your configuration? Do you use only Netatmo thermostat or you also have radiator valves and if yes, how many? I have one thermostat that has broken display, but is still working and 3 radiator valves, but I do not use them since I have BOSCH gas boiler with its own thermostat CT100 that I'm trying to integrate, but until now without success.

That is something that I still have to do. At the moment I use network power adapters, good ones, but still not as good as network cable. Some of my devices still have to connect over the WiFi.

Hi @Lazer, I guess your Envoy is connected with Ethernet cable? My Envoy works over WiFi 5GHz to the Ubiquiti Alien router mesh, so I think it is OK if responses take a bit longer. Just guessing. @TitiXsi how is your Envoy connected, wire or WiFi?

I totally agree. Currently I have 15 micro inverters, but I plan to add more in near future and even battery pack to get as much independent as possible. Will see then if refresh rate of 30 seconds will be enough. Problem for me is that I have single phase system on my house so I'm quite limited to the expansion of the solar system and also installing heat pumps etc.

Hi @TitiXsi, I use only two calls to Envoy: 1) https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/production.json 2) https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/api/v1/production/inverters to get all data that I need. I do not query for inventory and currently my QA do not support batteries since I do not have them and don't really know what response look like when there is a battery pack present. I did ask for this on Fibaro forum, but never get any response, so I guess there is no one there that have battery pack installed. I can set interval to less than every 30 seconds, but there is a catch. Every 10 minutes I do a REST API call to recalculate today's exported and today's imported energy which then I use to calculate e.g. grid dependence. Problem is that this REST API calls seems to take few seconds each (slow). Also, when inverters are off (no production) then Envoy takes much longer time to send response for inverters production, so I decided that 30 second interval is up to the task and good enough. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks! There are also few problems with Envoy API, I guess bugs: 1) Current production reported is almost never 0W which is a bit strange during night and that makes calculation for grid dependence a bit off on my QA 2) Today's net or grid consumption is always reported as 0W so must be calculated by QA and this requires power sensor device for currently importing power from which then can be calculated today's imported energy. Same is for today's exported energy for which to be calculated power sensor device for currently exporting power is needed.

Enphase Envoy Monitor QA standalone v1.1 INTRODUCTION Enphase Envoy Monitor QA brings seamless integration of the Enphase Envoy Metering EU with Fibaro Home Center. PREREQUISITES Fibaro HC3, HC3Lite or Yubii Home with firmware 5.161 or greater Enphase Envoy Metering EU gateway with firmware D7.6.177 or greater User account on https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/login/login.json FEATURES The QA retrieves production, consumption and net-balance from Enphase Envoy gateway and show on child devices. The QA also retrieves production data from all Enphase micro-inverters found in the system and can show on separately added inverter child devices. Today production, today consumption and instantaneous production and consumption child devices can be selected in Fibaro Home Center energy panel settings. After setting up Envoy gateway IP address and user name and password QA will immediately get all other necessary data like gateway serial number, session number and access token. Time of access token generation is stored and used to refresh after period of 180 days. NOTE – for now, generated token lifetime is 1 year according to the Enphase information. This version of Enphase Envoy Monitor QA provides calculated values for today’s exported energy and today’s imported energy shown on child devices. It also provides child devices for calculated values of grid dependence and production capacity QA has built in multi-language support with 32 languages included (see APPENDIX 1 for the list). QA can use HC selected language or user can select any other available language.

Hello @flacon030, Netatmo app and generated refresh and access token should be used only by one QA and no other. If you use same Netatmo app for some other device then there will be a clash, since other code will change access token and QA still uses its own access token that is then not valid any more until it is refreshed by QA. Make sure that only Netatmo QA uses that one Netatmo app with its generated tokens.

Hello, Sorry for the late replay, I was not at home for last five weeks. I do not understand why you have problems with tokens. I have turned off my HC3 when I left home five weeks ago. After turning it back on today, all my QA continue to work properly including Netatmo weather and Netatmo indoor Air Quality QA without needing to refresh manually tokens. They are still working now 6 hours after restarting my HC3

Hi @Nico, sorry for late replay, I'm far away from home. To renew tokens, you need to do the following: Paste new tokens to the scene code and save the scene Delete global variable NetatmoW_scene_[scene ID] Run scene manually to rebuild global variable and store new tokens. If it doesn't work then there is another global variable added by the scene. You can check to which global variable tokens are stored using HC2 REST_API. I'm at my work in Singapore and can't check it my self and it was sometime ago I make this so not sure 100%

Hi @jojo, This is never ending story. And with what do you check antivirus programs or you just trust them? No need to answer As I mentioned already, I completely understand everyone's need to know what is installed on home center controller. I'm not asking for questions, but solutions, so go ahead and suggest what is the best way to distribute solutions for Fibaro control center? I guess it is open source? But then how to control who and how is using that code? Nowadays, many are lazy even to give some feedback or at least to vote (1 to 5 stars), not to mention that is easy to spent 5-10€ for beer that will be pissed out, but it is very difficult to give such amount to support software that is working for long time bringing happiness with home automation. So, go ahead, don't ask me what and how, but give some constructive suggestions

Hello @MAM78, That is a very good question. Security is of highest importance when home automation and our homes are on the line. Currently I do not have satisfying answer. BTW - I know that encryption sounds here like a problem. But I have one question for you: How many programs for your PC computer did you reverse engineered just to be sure that there is no malicious code inside? Or asked authors of those programs to send you source code in that matter?

Hello @jojo, Yes t is true, unfortunately not so good solution. I'm now working on establishing my repository that will enable me to add possibility to update QA without needing reinstalling it. Any suggestions which is the best? Github maybe or have even better one?

Hello all, I have corrected and uploaded all three weather providers to Fibaro forum and Fibaro Marketplace. NOTE - Users that setup their HC to use degrees Celsius and QA variable units to metric are not affected with this bug and can continue to use weather provider version 1.0
