Hello all.
Long time Vera user who is getting very frustrated with it.
I've downloaded HS3 and ordered a dongle to try it out. I do have some questions, some perhaps best answered by former Vera users:
1. I have a CentOS box that runs 24x7 that I put HS3 on. That being said, which is better overall - PC or hardware controller?
2. I use PLEG a lot on Vera. How does HS3 compare in terms of capability to PLEG? For example, in PLEG, I have a Schlage lock the door 5 minutes after the door sensor reads closed. I believe this is easily do-able in HS3, but would like confirmation on how well PLEG actions translated to HS3.
3. Much of my frustration around Vera centers on the controller's inability to run well. Frequent restarts, the storage in /mios is full, and it's apparently so busy that it's missing events from door/window sensors - causing it to believe that doors that are actually closed are open. I'm hoping that either the dedicated controller or a Linux PC running the software won't subject me to the same misery?
4. I'm thinking that migrating devices one-by-one to HS from Vera is the best bet. Comments?
5. Anything else I should know?
Thanks!
