HS3 for Linux is a modified version of HS3 that runs under Linux. It is full HS3 with the following exceptions:
* No VBScript support (.txt scripts). VB.Net scripting and C# scripting is supported
* No SSL connections to the web server, use MyHomeSeer service for SSL connections.
* Updater only shows plugins that have been tested under Linux. So plugin list will differ from the Windows version.
HS3 for Linux does not require a distinct license. Your HS3 standard or PRO license will work, though note that you can only use one license per installation.
Linux can be a challenge for non-technical users, the Linux version of HS3 is targeted to the more technical user.
It has been tested under Debian and Ubuntu.
These instructions are for a Debian 7 install.
1) Install Debian to your PC from here:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/
2) Install the following packages that are required by HS3:
Note that MONO is required, but it is already installed with the Debian distribution. However, a few packages are missing:
apt-get install mono-vbnc
apt-get install libmono-system-web4.0.cil
apt-get install libmono-system-design4.0.cil
apt-get install libmono-system-web-extensions4.0-cil
apt-get install libmono-system-runtime-caching4.0-cil
apt-get install flite
apt-get install chromium
If brltty is installed, this must be removed in order for a Z-Stick to work:
ap-get remove brltty
