Hi,
I'm pretty new to this world of homeseer, I'm coming from Vera and for many reasons I decided to make the jump with homeseer. I hope I will not regret my decision
Anyhow, basically I have installed the HS3 software on a Ubuntu linux server running in a VirtualMachine (XenServer), then I ordered a Z-wave Usb dongle (Aeon stick) which I found useful to use the stick powered battery to include nearby some devices, etc... BUT now I'm facing another big challenge, which I gave up, IT IS very complicated to access a USB port of the HOST HW from the VM Guest using XenServer... So after hours of digging to find a way to make it work, I ended up finding another path of solution... And means more $$$
So I got some questions for this unit ZNET:
Thank you for all the help you can provide me! And surely I will get more questions along the way exploring HS3
Regards,
Joel

So I got some questions for this unit ZNET:
- Looks like the Wifi is build in? So I don't need to had Wifi dongle to it!
- I'm planning using it mostly thru Ethernet, but using Wifi just to bring it near the devices for inclusion (Some devices aren't Zwave+). So the question here is can I easily switch from Wifi to Ethernet and vice-versa without any issues? I guess basically I just need to change the configuration into HS3 to switch from wifi to Ethernet after I included the devices?
- In my situation, will this be the good way to make it work? Having HS3 installed into a VM and using ZNET to remotely add my ZWave devices?

Joel
