Moving From Vera to HomeSeer
-
I'm in the process of evaluating HomeSeer (From what I've seen I'm most likely going to make the move) for a move from Vera.
What is the best and easiest way to move my MySensors network from the Vera controller to the HomeSeer computer?

@ServiceXp I use HS3 (have been using HS for over 15 years) and the MySensors plugin. One thing to note is that the HS MySensors plugin does not yet support all of the same devices as the Vera plugin does. What types of sensors are you using? I believe that when you hook-up the gateway to HS3 and put the plugin in inclusion mode, it should see all of the data come in and then create the associated HS devices automatically.

@ServiceXp Those are all supported so you should be good.

@Sparkman I have a question: When I added the gateway to HS3, It's say "WARNING: Expires: 5/31/2015 12:00:00 PM"
What does that exactly mean?
@ServiceXp It means the plugin will stop working on that date. The author should release a new version prior to then, so it should not be an issue. I'm not sure why the author elected to release the plugin with an expiry date.

Hi,
I'm the developer of the MySensors HomeSeer plugin. The expiry date was implemented in order to ensure that most users are running the latest version of the plugin.
I'm happy to hear that you are taking my plugin into use.
A lot of effort has been spent on adding support for retransmission, timeout, unit strings etc. Adding support for new sensors is in principle trivial as long as the protocol is clear - for some of the sensors I had to talk to HEK about the definition of the protocol.
Maybe focus should be changed to additional sensor support for the coming releases.
Best regards,

Henrik@hleidecker Thank you VERY much for your plug in. I tried posting some questions to problems that I'm having but they must be moderated first...
If you have a chance:
- How do I display battery levels?
- The "Light indicators" don't work with a status change (Light is always off)
