Hometroller (at least the one I received) comes with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS + Mono RUNTINE 5.10.1.20.
The same will happens if you execute the mono5.sh script from https://homeseer.com/linux/mono5.sh
The problem is that mono-devel is not up to date (still Mono 3 packages). And because of LST 14.04.1 is VERY OLD you cannot update due to a dependency with libglib2.0-0.
homeseer@hometrollerSEL:~$ sudo apt-get install -s mono-devel

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mono-devel : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.40.2) but 2.40.0-2 is to be installed
Recommends: referenceassemblies-pcl but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: msbuild but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
After doing a lot of research (I feel like a Vera user, and that was precisely what I was trying to avoid when I bought a HomeTroller), this cannot be solved. And it affects the way the system works, and what Homeseer's marketing says on its webpage.

- If you keep the HomeSeer's mix, plugins like HSBuddy and PHLocation have problems (the former crashed). Probably Chromecast and Ecobee, will also exhibit some kind of problems (I have not tested it personally).
- If you keep everything in Mono 3, MeiHarmonyHub doesn't work properly.
