Can a Z-Wave GPIO board be purchased for a backup? $?
Here DIY'd my original Zee / USB Z-Wave stick to a Zee 2 and used a Z-Wave dot me GPIO card.
It's been a couple of years now and it has been working fine.
Thinking these are around $50?
Not sure that Homeseer sells the Z-Wave GPIO cards a la carte.
Only issues that I have had with the RPi related to hardware has been with the original SD card which was upgraded in the very beginning of the original Zee.
The "power budget" for Pi3B was posted as: 1A for the SoC/RAM, 0.3A for WiFi/BT, and 1.2A for full powered to USB.
The new RPi3 comes with a 2.5 AMP PS and draws about 700 mA typically. There have been issues with the RPi in general when drawing too much power from the USB ports.
