So, after running on the Zee for almost a year, I have moved my HS3 installation to a similar platform, just more powerful. I still have one device on HS2 that I'm hanging onto, but hope to have it done within the next week or so.
This setup is mounted to a 1U media tray with nylon standoffs. From the top down, the devices are:
--HummingBoard
--Raspberry Pi (old Zee)
--Raspberry Pi
(hi-res image)
The HummingBoard is running Debian Jessi with HS3 Pro. Currently, there are three plugins running on the HummingBoard - BLRF, Z-Wave, HSTouch. I have an Edgeport/8 that handles the serial stuff.
The old Zee is running WeatherXML, HAI and DD-WRT.
The spare Pi is not running anything right now, but will run any other plugins I need.
I chose the HummingBoard due to cost and performance. You can get a 1G RAM / 1GHz dual-core Arm for ~$90USD. The performance is outstanding. It boots up to HS in about 45secs and page loads are very quick.
I haven't measured the complete power draw for all, but I plan on hooking up a spare smart energy switch to see how much power it draws.
