Home Center Lite is a smart hub that connects your Z-Wave and other smart home devices (whenever plug-ins are available). The “Magic Scenes” tool lets you put together complex automation scenarios in a simple way. Just drag and drop devices and rules to create custom events. Then save them as widgets on your smart phone or tablet to activate each one with a click.
Schedule lighting or climate control based on time of day, sunrise / sunset or motion triggers. Refine automation with additional Z-Wave devices such as energy-monitoring plugs and switches or water leak sensors. Take security to the next level by installing door / window sensors and alarm sirens.
FIBARO takes data protection very seriously so every Home Center Lite is equipped with its own recovery system (backup stored securely in the cloud), unique to each gateway. This fully protects your controller from unauthorized access.
It's small and easy to use yet, FIBARO Home Center Lite offers a wide array of features and unmatched software flexibility. Check out all of FIBARO's innovative Z-Wave solutions here.
Simply install the antenna, connect the Ethernet cable to your router, power the controller up and follow the instructions to set your Home Center Lite up in a few easy steps. Enjoy a truly intelligent system for your home and office!
Manual for FIBARO Home Center Lite Z-Wave Smart Home Controller FGHCL (PDF)
I consider myself tech savvy. I’m the guy people call for stuff like this. I can honestly say I’ve never seen a more worthless product. The mobile app doesn’t work at all. The software they tell you to install has a wizard but you can’t even create a user before it crashes and it doesn’t discover any devices. It’s just a $149 paper weight.
I ordered the HCL and several switches, plugs, and motion detectors. Order processing was easy, and shipping was prompt, especially understanding the shortage of many items during the holidays. The HCL was easy to set up and open the home screen. During set up, I was unable to change the latitude and longitude, and am presently stuck with the Polish area; this appears to be a problem in the HCL system and hopefully will be resolve soon. Meanwhile, I am unable to use sunset/sunrise settings in my scenes. Understanding the progression of including devices and building scenes was a little confusing, as the online manual does not go into much detail. However, with experience with ISY and a few u-tube videos, I was able to quickly grasp the concepts. I am very please with the Fibaro HCL and its power/flexibility. A con would be the lack of detail with the manual. I have wired 10 switches and build 8 scenes so far and plan to continue building.
I am satisfied overall with the purchase and the association with The Smartest Home and look forward to a continued partnership.
