Hi, sorry if this has already been covered numerous times but I'm new to raspberry pi and homeseer. I was previously using smartthings and decided I wanted a cloudless home automation. This seemed the route to go down so I have a rpi3 and homeseer pro licence. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong in my thinking below.
Just need someone who has the time to guide me through the steps. I understand I could of bought the hs3-rpi licence but I didn't want to be limited to 5 plugins and at some point I may want to migrate to a more powerful pc. I've played about installing raspian jessie lite, I don't have a keyboard or display for the rpi3 so have been running putty. I'd rather use jessie lite as the rpi3 will just be used for my automation and once HS3 is installed I can just use the interface to play about with my rules etc and the rpi3 will be left alone.
Although I've already had the rpi3 up and running I've reformatted the sd card so I can start from scratch. I've read alot of posts regarding this process but never came across a start to finish for what I need, basically being lazy and copying other people's hard work! The mrs doesn't understand me wanting to change the system we're already using let alone learning Linux, just can't spare much time at the moment.
Also I'm aware I should create a backup of the sd card once my rules are in place incase the rpi3 eats it so I will require some guidance on how to do that without disrupting the home automation (creating autorun script for HS3 if the pie is rebooted etc).
Any help is appreciated
