Hello Alex,

I asked for some information to the marketing team :

“If I understand correctly, the F461 model can interface with third-party systems using the OpenWebNet protocol. Can you confirm this?” <= yes, it also works with the OWN protocol

“Additionally, I assume that communication with HomeAssistant should not be an issue, as I imagine it works similarly to MyHomeServer1. Can you confirm this as well?” <= good question ! As it’s a third-party service, we don’t work on the integrations. You should ask the question directly to their community, as it seems that there are a very few information about this

“Lastly, I’d like to know if the F460 model supports both Home+Control and OpenWebNet. Could you provide some details on this?” <= Yes, the F460 work with Home + Control app and is compatible with OWN protocol (EDIT : The F460 is ONLY compatible with Home + Control app and not OWN)

“Furthermore, could you outline the main advantages of the new MyHome servers F460 and F461 compared to MyHomeServer1?” <= I added in the attachments 3 screenshots sent by the marketing, it could help you. Otherwise, you should ask directly the question to the Italian customer support 🙂

<p>Thank you very much for you quick reply. <br />can you confirm, if you can double check with tech department, if F460 provides OWN protocol?</p><p>BTicino Customer Care (Italy) and my electrician told me that is not compatible and provides H+C only. </p><p>I do hope is really like you said both H+C and OWN just like MHS1. <br /><br />Thanks. <br />Have a great day</p>

Hello Alex,

Indeed I just talked to the Italian support and my answer was wrong. Here is what they told me : “F461 is the third parties server for OWN protocol while F460 is the MyHome gateway only for H+C and is not compatible with OWN”

As I’m not into hardware I don’t well know the differences between the servers/modules for MyHOME offer. Sorry for the bad information at first 🙁

I opened an internal ticket to the support to ask them if we have a hardware solution to manage both H+C and OWN use. I’ll tell you once I know more

Have a good day,

<p><p>Thank you Leslie! Your support is truly appreciated.</p><p>Unfortunately from the doc doesn’t seem possible to have F460 and F461 coexisting on the same BUS.</p><p>It’d be great to have a configuration that allows to manage both F460 and F461.</p><p>Let me know when you’ll get answer from the internal ticket.</p></p>

Hi again,

Here is the answer from the internal support :

We confirm :

– F460 = only for H+C, not OWN compatible

– F461 = only OWN compatible, not available for a use in H+C app

I’m not sure but I remember that Home Assistant third-party service need a to work and internal configuration with A and PL devices address and a OWN server where send and receive Myhome message.

So you can use for this scope all available Bticino OWN gateway. In particular I suggest to use MH201 or F459.

F459 is used in a lot of plants in order to manage third-party thermoregulation systems, so I’m confident that F460 and F459 can coexist without problem.

I didn’t tested the combination F460 and MH201 but I’m confident that there aren’t problems when both devices are on the same plant.

<p>Ok, thanks</p><p>So we’ve 2 options here to work with HomeAssistant / Third Parties, based on what you just wrote:</p><p>- F461 can work with Home Assistant as it does provide OWN protocol</p><p>- F460 + MyHomeServer 1: F460 supports H+C whereas MyHomeServer1 provides OWN protocol</p><p>Is that correct?</p><p>Thanks</p><p>Have a good day</p>

“F460 + MyHomeServer 1: F460 supports H+C whereas MyHomeServer1 provides OWN protocol. Is that correct?” <= Yes, but the MHS1 must only be used as an open gateway, it must not be configured with Home + Project app

Have a good day,

<p>Yes, understood. Just a confirmation that if I decide to go with F461 only this can work flawlessly with OWN as MHS1. Obviously I cannot use H+C. </p>
