Migration Vera to HA > how to send sensor data from Vera to HA?

[alongoldfiz]

Hello all

I have Vera with Fibaro 232 and philio pan04 zwave, very old system.
I want to replace the Vera to Home Assistant . I understand that I need Zwave Stick hardware for the HA, I saw that there is different series stick like 500,600,700,800 how can I know what series will be good for my old Fibaro Switches ? the new series (800) can manage the old one (500)? many thanks

Get the 800 Long Range from Zooz. It's backwards compatible.

What hardware are you going to use to run HAOS?

[sammy2]

Don't know where to post this really so I'll post it here.

I am running HAos in a Virtual Machine using Oracle Virtual Box Manager.

Occasionally, Virtual Box or HA hangs up whereupon I have to manually restart from the Windows on the NUC. I'd like to set it up to have a watchdog to Close out the HA, and then restart it when this happens automatically.

I'd also like to keep all my Z-Wave devices connected. One of my locks will become non-responsive and show up as a dead node even though I've put two powered devices between it and the Controller. A lot of times a route rebuild does not fix it and neither will a device interview. Is there a script to have this happen on

@CatmanV2 Hey CatmanV2, long time and all that. I've started to poke around in HA mainly because I need to plan a backup for my 2 Vera boxes. Found I can use them as radios (+1 for HA) and can finally pull both systems together without busting up walls and so on. So, I'm planning to do something but not sure what?
My ears pricked up with your Deebot addition. I'm unable to find Deebot in HA so I'm not sure if your reference to Deebot is the Vacuum cleaner or something else?
Can you expand on what you mean?

[CatmanV2]

Hi chap. Sorry been away on hols.
I do have Deebots in my HASS set up for my old robovacs (Annaclean Skywalker and Obi-Wan Cleanobi, since you asked. You didn't ask? Oh dear, how sad)

Not currently functioning, but I've only just realised so will try and look tomorrow.

Try searching for Ecovacs.

OK I had to do some fixing over the weekend, so still not got to this, but apparently the Ecovacs plug in is no longer maintained and there's a migration to something called Deebot Universe

DeebotUniverse

Collection of Open Source projects and documentation related to Deebot devices from Ecovacs - but we are in no way affiliated with ECOVACS Robotics (ECOVACS) - DeebotUniverse

OK the actual change is that it's no longer in the HACS repository, but native in HA above 2024.2.0
Simply go to Settings > Devices and Services > Add Integration and search for 'Evovacs'

Mate, you are a legend......

[CatmanV2]

Never a problem

Just to note I installed it, set it up in about 2 minutes and it seems to work perfectly
