Recovery Mode on Home Center 2

Description

Recovery Mode is a panel designed for retrieving the HC2 operating system in case of technical problems, e.g. when it is not possible to log into the user’s panel.

Using recovery mode the Home Center 2 will be brought back to the factory installed firmware version. That means all of your settings, configured devices, rooms and so on will be removed and lost if not backed up.

Once back up and running, you will be able to upgrade the firmware to the latest version. Make sure you have a backup available to suit either the recovery firmware version or the latest firmware version if you don’t want to lose all of your data!

 

Step-by-step guide

 

Entering Recovery mode using physical buttons located on the device
