Posted June 28, 20214 yr Hi experts. Is it possible to rewind an HC800 form OS3.1.0 back to OS2.10.4? Thanks Karlos
June 28, 20214 yr Yes, but I would only go to 2.10.6 if you do. Ideally you should be on 3.2.2 if possible.

I need to stay with OS 2 as I dont think the rest of my gear will safely upgrade to 3.x.x without the risk of becoming bricked. I am only replacing the main controller (HC800) because it got nuked by a lightning strike - very spectacular - massive flash out of the controller a bang and a carbon burn mark on the wall. - The controller is now a charred pile of HC800 oxide. My replacement controller is running OS3 and as such, it is far safer to return that to OS2 and the highest OS I have access to is 10.4. Been stable for years so perfectly happy with that. Just want our system back to how it was before the storm. I assume that the way to rewind it is to simply press and hold the reset button and have it fold back to factory which I presume will be some version of OS2? Please confirm that this is the way forward as I am nervous about resetting only to completely lock up my new controller.... Best. Don K 5 hours ago, $Genius said: Hi experts.

June 28, 20214 yr Device image updater allows you to select which OS to send to an individual controller. It's software your dealer can get.

If you are in the U.S., a repair like that should be covered under a home warranty and with the right dealer can include an entire network and smart system upgrade paid for by the insurance.
July 9, 20214 yr Author Thanks everyone. All up and running - sitting on OS 10.1 for now until I can register the controller somehow. Looks like an unregistered controller cant be upgraded. Appreciate your help'
