I’m in the process of deciding which route to go with HS3 (HomeTroller-SEL or my own PC) The specs on the SEL worry me, extremely low for todays standards. For $300 I can get a better Processor, More Ram and Much more SSD space. I would use the same form factor- Intel NUC. Only issue is the lack of a real serial port like the SEL has,
Also which way? Win 10 Pro or Linux. I come from the Mac world so either is fine. I do find it easier to get a Windows box going, also easier to restore from a back up if needed,
My Vera Secure has 2 Hue Controllers with 60 Bulbs, Nest, Blue Iris, Schlage Locks, an old Vera 3 in my shed, Fibaro Scene Buttons, Fibaro Swipe Scene device, Pentair Pool, Concord 4 Alarm System. 30+ various GE Switch and dimmer devices. We are also heavy in to Alexa integration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Reason I’m leaving Vera: Lock ups, slowness, my wife freaking out because it doesn’t work when she needs it. Support, Lua Code is a pain, Overall just tired of being a programmer, I think it’s all great and then Bam! It just stops working. The other night we ended up sleeping with a majority of the lights on because we couldn’t get her to find them!
