Dear all,
I have been running HS3PRO for many years on my Win 7 system and I have been using the same machine to use it as media center with Windows MediaCenter and Kodi.
I recently have been tinkering with VirtualBox and Ubuntu and managed to get HS3PRO working on a VM on my laptop so decided to purchase a NUC8i5BEK to replace my existing system as support for Windows 7 is going to end by April next year (if I'm not mistaken).
This leads me to the following options I'm contemplating:
I could also go for a completely different setup as I have a rasberry pie 4 on order on which I could either run Kodi or HS3Pro.....
I reboot my current system once a week to ensure stability of the HomeSeer installation and I frequently notice a lag in the system's response (motion sensors trigger but the lights do not respond instantly but sometimes seconds later). I'm not sure if this lag in response is system related or a z-wave problem but it is one of the reasons why I am considering to switch to a linux version of homeseer.
This is my current setup:
My main two priorities are stability and energy use (as homeseer obviously runs 24/7 and I only sparingly use Kodi).
Can anyone advise me what hardware setup to choose and what your cosiderations would be?
Many thanks

This leads me to the following options I'm contemplating:
Option | HostOS | App | GuestOS | App |
1 | Windows 10 Pro | Kodi | VirtualBox / Ubuntu 18.04 | HS3PRO |
2 | Windows 10 Pro | Kodi | One OS only | HS3PRO |
3 | Ubuntu 18.04 | Kodi | One OS only | HS3PRO |
4 | Ubuntu 18.04 | HS3PRO | VirtualBox / Windows 10 Pro | Kodi |
