I migrated from Vera to HS3 recently and am really happy with the switch. One thing that I miss about my old Vera 3 was its range (I had added an external antenna). I have a couple nodes that I can't reach with my ZNET and have left these nodes included with the Vera. I was hoping to basically use the Vera as a secondary controller to monitor these distant nodes/sensors (and pass their statuses to HS3). Is it possible to do this? In effect, can I turn my Vera into another pseudo-ZNET?
I tried to add a new Zwave Interface in the HS3 Zwave plugin. I first went into Vera's UI5 Advanaced Zwave Settings and clicked Controller Shift. Then I went into HS3 Zwave plugin, Add New Interface, selected Ethernet interface and entered my Vera's IP and a wide range of ports (80,22,37,123,232,3480,49451). But this didn't work - HS3 could never communicate with Vera.
Then I tried the Vera Controller Shift again. This time, I used my existing ZNET and chose Action "Receive Network from Another Controller." This imported all of the nodes from Vera (and I was able to monitor their statuses). But it also wiped out all of the nodes I had previously migrated into HS3! Fortunately, I had a backup.
So it seems like I'm close. Any suggestions?
