Question

How do I get remote access to my Fibare Home Center 2 (HC2)?

Answer

You can easily use a the Fibaro Smartphone App (iOS or Android) or computer to control your HC2 while away from home.

Solution

Configuring this is a two part process - you need to set your local (home) access first and then set up remote access.

Local Access

  • Download and install the Fibaro HC2 app - available in the Apple App Store or Google Play
  • In the App go to 'Settings'
  • Click 'Choose HC' in the HC Settings section
  • Click 'Add'
  • Your HC2 should be listed - click 'Choose'
  • If your HC2 is not listed click 'Manually' and add the details

Remote Access

Before you can configure the Fibaro App to access your HC2 remotely, you need to create a remote access account on the Fibaro server.

  • Go to https://home.fibaro.com/cmh/index.php - this site is also used if you wish to control your HC2 from a computer while away from home
  • Create a Username and Password and click 'Register'
  • Follow the instructions to add your HC2 to the account
  • Open the Fibaro App on your phone
  • Enter your remote access account 'Username' and 'Password' in the Remote Access section
  • Click 'Save data'

You will now be able to control your HC2 remotely from your phone or computer.
