    Hi All

    Hopefully this place looks like a helpful forum as I’m quite new to all this!

    I’ve had a few devices all working separately /through their proprietary apps but we’re just finishing off a large house extension and this has added to the list.

    I’d ideally like to be able to view/switch a number of different devices on one screen/head end but have no idea where to start.

    The devices we have/will have shortly are as follows;

    Zigbee Smart Sockets
    Zigbee smart switches (for lights)
    Heatmiser Neo Underfloor Heating (this runs from a Samsung ASHP but that part is automatic)
    Samsung VRF air conditioning (currently using Smart Things App)
    Hive (2xLTHW heating circuits in the existing house and Hot Water)
    Ring (doorbell!)
    Hik Vision PoE CCTV

    We have lots of appliances (Neff N70) which we can control remotely but not too fussed about controlling those at the
    Moment)

    Any help/recommendations would be appreciated!

    Thanks

    Adrian

    @therealdb said in [How-To] Migrate from Vera to Zwave.me and then ZwaveJS in 2024:

    asking why it took me so many years to switch

    Now six years since the announcement of the acquisition. Both are dead; one of them just doesn't know it yet.

    Why use any individual scene code at all? Per the reference docs you cited, if you define a scene_prolog global (presumably with the exact same code as your existing executeSceneNumber) that should work directly.

    I have an oven that I need to manage the temperature of, keeping it in the neighborhood of 600° C (1100° F). I have not been able to find a Zigbee-enabled solution to measure temps that high. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? If not, any ideas for how to roll a custom solution that I could integrate into a Sonoff ihost controller? I have no trouble finding high temperature probes, but none of them interface with my automation stack.

    @toggledbits thanks for the help. I will eventually improve this code and apply capabilities only if the device is somewhat new/changed or at startup. OpenSprinklerController is peculiar, but I think I could manage to achieve this result.

    This code is shared among my controllers, I've modified them to better handle updates. Thanks!

    Just wanted to add that my Vera Bridges stopped working, I can’t be sure exactly when, maybe after a reboot ? But wanted to share here as they were working fine..

    The Variable for the RemotePort on both is /port_3480

    Updating to :3480 fixes it..

    @akbooer - not sure why this worked first and then stopped..
