derekr1707821591 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Has anybody any information on this update?It installed without any problems so would be nice to know what has changed.Also updated my HM6000 to Firmware v1.11.1, took two attemps but appears to be OK. Again any information on this update?Derekr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 It is for compliance with HM7K app mesh connectivity requirements.The 6010 module also has all the features of the R8247 accessory decoder, but presently no way to access these additional features via either HM6K or 7K apps, but by using Track power you can use it on DCC as an R8247 equivalent.You can use DC track power to use it with Bluetooth in lieu of a PSU.6010 latest is actually v1.8.2.

derekr1707821591 Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 Thank you for title change.Feature or bug?The HM6010 with firmware v1.8.2 switches itself off after 59 seconds, if you then goto the home screen and press resume everything comes back on for a further 59 seconds.iPhone 6IOS 15.7.3Derekr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 OK a resolution of sorts.For use on HM7K app only the version to revert to for now is v1.6.3. This gets you back working again. Any problems please come back here.For HM7K app use there will be a higher version but for now the two apps remain at different versions. The problem will be fully sorted at the next HM6K main app update, yet to be scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Be aware now that HM7K app is live that there are 2 different rev states each for 6000 and 6010 when used in each app. A pest for now but it will be sorted by an update to the HM6K app.HM | DCC (7000 series) • HM6000 - v1.12.0 • HM6010 - v1.10.1 HM | DC (analogue control) • HM6000 - v1.8.2 • HM6010 - v1.6.3These are the correct versions users need to be on for each app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdb66 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I can’t seem to connect my HM6000 to mesh so I can’t update it anyway. Any ideas on how to update it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Updates usually flag up on screen for you to disconnect your module from the mesh.Before we get into any deeper discussion, which app are you using HM DC or HM DCC and what are you using the 6000 module for.Select firmware update in settings and select your module. Pick the correct rev state for the app as per my table above and press update device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdb66 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 When using HM DC I have never been able to get the HM6000 to be picked up in a mesh scan, I have only been able to scan and find it when BLE is selected.When you press update, it says you have to be connected to mesh to update. So i can't update.I have tried using the HM6000 to start using HM DCC but I'm having trouble with the sound files being uploaded, it times out on the SPIROM. Thinking this was something to do with the HM6000 not being updated, that's why I've asked the question re updating.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foden 4400 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Have you tried doing a ‘Forced Delete’ on the App then pressing the ‘Factory Reset Button’ on the underside of the HM6000 Unit ? It worked for me - I was able to connect via mesh then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Are you trying to update the 6000 firmware or are you trying to load a sound profile onto a 7000 decoder.If you are simply using the 6000 to power your track then it needs to be set on full whack per the decoder manual.You cannot have a mesh of one device. A mesh by definition is more than one device talking to each other through the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mesh by definition is more than one device talking to each other through the app. The mesh i refer to is the HM DC app settings for bluetooth mode. There are 2 options either mesh linking (provisioning) & forwarding or standard ble. Thanks to Foden 4400, although i had tried this a while ago, resetting to factory settings I was able to connect to mesh linking and update the HM6000 to 1.8.2, the higher version wasn't available to me. I did actually manage to get sound and movement through the decoder after installing it. But then I did the install buton again by mistake and broke it no_mouthNow when i try to install SPIROM, it seems that the connection with either the HM DC app or the HM6000 disappears and the app restarts and then the HM DCC app whirls around trying to find the host device. I will keep trying, I know it works but I learnt now not to hit buttons i don;t need to :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 From your response above I have been able to deduce I think, that you are using the 6000 module in the HM6K app to power your track and that in the HM7K app you are installing a 7000-series decoder to your TT120 loco and that you now have it all working.There is a simpler and more reliable method, use your 6000 module PSU to apply power directly to the track using the HM7020 (R7324) adapter cable. This will put 15v on the track rather than the 12v supplied by the 6000 module at full whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby were heavily promoting the HM6000 on their upgrade path, but with my experience I think I'll keep the HM6000 for DC on my OO kit.Will the transformer I had for the HM6000 be powerful enough in medium term, i.e more locos?Thansk again for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 It will run a couple of locos but for a fuller layout you need the 4-amp brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
