Hi I recently tried to give homeseer a go. I bought a smartstick plus and I have 3 ge zwave switches in direct sight of the smartstick that are about 20 and 30ft away. I wanted to run HS3 on my ubuntu 16.4 home server. I got everything installed and running however I could not add the switches to the zwave network. They weren't being detected.
Stumped I pulled out my laptop and installed HS3 and the smartstick drivers and it works great. I literally have the laptop sitting on top of the server and I could add all of the switches from that exact location.
I unplugged the smartstick from the laptop and plugged it back into the server and tried to import the zwave network. Only 1 of the 3 switches was being detected! The one that was being detected didnt work very well I could only turn it on and off every 5 clicks instead of instantly on one click when the stick was installed in my lap top.
Its my understanding that the smartstick doesn't need drivers to be installed when its used with a linux box is that correct?
I even tried multiple usb ports on the server to check if maybe one wasn't delivering enough power but they all behaved the same.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the smartstick just not supported on linux?
Thanks for any advice I'd like to get this to work but if not then obviously I won't be purchasing the software.
Thanks!
