nacho Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'm looking to upgrade from my AVM-HTC1-B to something newer(supported). All of my devices are still embernet. Are there any upgrade paths available to me? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Ckun Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 A dealer would need to get a HC300 running 2.5.3 to upgrade all (compatible) embernet devices to zb pro. then you can start your upgrade path. You may still need to replace other non compatible devices. Or you can get a media controller on ebay for cheap and leave as is if a dealer will program something that old.

Either do as stated above, get replacement unit and load project, (good luck finding one on embernet) or get your power supply fixed (if that is the issue) and upgrade to pro with it.

nacho Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Tried to fix the power supply, unfortunately that was not the problem. I found an old unit on ebay that had the correct software version, but it was setup in zigbee mode. Thanks for the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong as its been awhile as I don't remember if the media controller can do this. You should be able to upload your project to the new device with zb pro and update your embernet devices and get back up and running.

lippavisual Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 As long as you have multiple controllers, you can have a zigbee pro controller, then flash another controller to embernet, so that you can upgrade all your devices to pro. It’s a painstaking process but easily doable and you’d be better off in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to load up the project onto the controller and it is visible, but since the controller is in zigbee mode and my switches are embernet, the setup does not work. I do see the switches etc in the interface but I can't upgrade the switches to zigbee since all of the upgrade links in the controller to the control4 website are dead. Is there a work around for this? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 ? Embernet to Pro update is possible using any controller on 2.5.3 or below of the MC/HTC generation or HC200/300/500 type. Doesn't require any external excess to files, it's built into the software. Honestly, it sounds like you're in over your head - heck updating a system from embernet is not something all dealers may even know - but it is possible. Find a local dealer, or see if one of the ones offering remote service can working via teamviewer with you to try and get this started.
