FIBARO Home Center 3
FIBARO Home Center 3 is a powerful control unit – the brain of the entire SHE system, designed for medium and large installations with higher performance and stability requirements. It ensures reliable operation of Quick Apps, advanced automation and demanding spot energy management algorithms.
🧠⚡ FIBARO Home Center 3
FIBARO Home Center 3 (HC3) is a powerful central control unit of the SHE system, functioning as a superior controller for running Quick Apps, device communication, and processing large volumes of operational data.
The unit is designed as a professional solution for installations with high performance, stability, and system scope requirements.
💼 Business presentation
FIBARO Home Center 3 represents a complete solution for customers who require comprehensive energy management, advanced automation, and stable operation even under high load.
It is an ideal choice for installations combining multiple technologies, where emphasis is placed on dynamic optimization and predictive real-time control.
⚡ Typical use: Full spot price control
The HC3 unit is the essential foundation for installations requiring full spot price control of electricity purchase and sales (the QA Spot Pro license must be purchased separately). Due to its high performance, it handles:
- Evaluation of 15-minute or 60-minute markets in real time
- Dynamic decision-making about battery charging and discharging
- Optimization of wallbox charging according to current energy price
- Control of hot water and heat pumps according to price peaks
- FVE production prediction and consumption planning ahead
A specialized application is intended for implementing these functions: QA Spot Pro.
📊 Analysis and data work
For clear visualization, working with measurement history, and advanced graphs, we recommend connecting to SCADA Mervis, which enables detailed data evaluation and long-term archiving.
🏠 Suitable use
- Advanced energy management and spot price control
- Complex consumption optimization with FVE production prediction
- Concurrent control of hot water, heat pump, wallbox, and other technologies
- Larger installations with a high number of Z-Wave devices
🧠 Performance and stability
- High computing power for parallel execution of a large number of QA applications
- Suitable for demanding algorithms and working with large volumes of data
- Recommended for extensive Z-Wave networks (700 series)
- Stable and fast system response even at maximum load
The unit is equipped with a multi-core processor and above-standard RAM capacity, ensuring smooth operation even in the most demanding installations.
🛡️ Security and operation
- Encrypted communication (support for Z-Wave security classes S0 / S2)
- Local operation – the system is fully functional even without internet connection
- Secured user access and defined roles
- Regular firmware updates for maximum security
🌐 Connectivity
- LAN (Ethernet) connection for maximum network communication stability
- Wi-Fi connection (integrated antennas with high gain)
- Z-Wave Plus (700 series)
- Wide possibility of integrating third-party devices (IP, Rest API)

🧩 Role in SHE system
FIBARO Home Center 3 is a universal control unit that serves as a platform for running applications and automation.
In itself, it contains no predefined control logic – all functions are implemented through applications.
The unit can also be used independently – users can add their own Z-Wave devices and create scenes and automation directly in the Fibaro environment, without needing to use SHE system applications.
To use the SHE system functions (energy management, optimization logic, technology control), it is necessary to install SHE system Quick Apps.
