Just a quickie step by step Homeseer 3 Zee-2 installation on a Pine64 2Gb version. Will break it down a bit providing some more granular details.
1 - Used the xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160507-1.img.xz versom which can be found here ==> xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160507
- Used a 16 Gb microSD card and wrote image to microSD card with Linux.
2 - configured static IP and host name
3 - installed openssh-server
apt-get install openssh-server
4 - created homeseer and pete users
5 - changed password to root
6 - installed Mono, Flite and chromium-BSU
apt-get install mono-complete
apt-get install mono-vbnc
apt-get install flite
apt-get install chromium-BSU
7 - Installed WebMin
wget hxxp://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.801_all.deb
apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python
dpkg --install webmin_1.801_all.deb
8 - installed lm-sensors
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
sudo sensors-detect
9 - downloaded HS3 for Zee-2
10 - installed on the \HomeSeer directory
11 - ssh'd to device and cd\HomSeer and did ./go
12 - plugged in an Aeon Stick. Configured Z-Wave stick.
13 - Told primary Z-Wave controller to send data to a secondary controller. and new Z-Wave stick new secondary controller to recieve data from primary. Note this worked between floors in my two story home.
14 - noticed today 6th of July a TZDATA update. Reconfigured time.
pine64:/etc# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default time zone: 'US/Central'
Local time is now: Wed Jul 6 07:12:56 CDT 2016.
Universal Time is now: Wed Jul 6 12:12:56 UTC 2016.
In retrospect the Pine64 is faster than the RPi2 and slower than the Xi3 Xi5A mini computer. Not sure relating to the RPi3. The board architecture is similiar but not the same as the RPi in general.
I will stay out of that rhetoric going on relating to the sell of a KODI ready Pine64 GPU when in fact it was used for the sell but never implemented or tested by KODI folks to benchmark the device.
It'll make a good Homeseer 3 server device (or Zee-2 replacement). You can add a ZWave dot me GPIO card in it along with the PiFace RTC shim and it'll work just fine.
Update 6th of July 2016
Please post any questions over here ==> PINE64 as a HS3 platform
11th of July, 2016 Hardware update
Noticed reading the documentation that the Pine64 has a built in RTC such that all you need to do is add a battery.
Attached are close up pictures of the board.
Looking for a case and found one made by a guitar maker in Spain.
One switch came with the Pine64. Adding / soldering two switches.

Pulled the power and waited a few minutes. I then powered it up and it came back just fine.
