Maybe he still hasn't recovered from Raf's comments and bans all that post here one at the time
O and you said you moved to the 'competition'. Apparently he feels openLuup based DIY is.

I have moved to homeassistant and OZW. Works very well! And recently I started with esphome via homeassistant. Configure and compile firmware, upload it to an esp and manage it further from homeassistant (OTA!).
This way I have now created a hall flow meter for 9 euro :-). And a 8v port relay board for 13 euro. Rocksolid... downside is my wifi has to be always on... but that counts for a lot of things...
Since I have been banned I did not even look back :-).
And to be honest I am so happy with this Vera situation else I would not ever have discovered what's out there!

I am finding it pretty funny actually as I don't think at this point and the direction they are taking is making them a competitor for no one. They are so far behind "DIY" or open-source solutions even on their roadmap that I think they are in a market on their own: Find complicated solutions running on obsolete hardware to solve problems nobody but vera owners had while creating new problems of their own and claiming great achievements for functionalities The community had developed and implemented for half a decade. My system is so far beyond what they plan to offer even years (1000?) from now... I am puzzled.
All the banned people were trying to bring to the forum was a reality check and offering competitive information they seem to be so oblivious to. So they can ban away... all their customers.
In the meantime, I am learning about AI, deep learning, machine learning, convoluted neural network and their local implementations for home automation while they are still congratulating themselves on the achievement turning a light bulb on "very fast" with alexa going through their unreliable cloud and junk ware controllers. Hyping up about an obviously ignorant review of a product which doesn't really work.
So yeah... sorry, competitor? How arrogant and pretentious are they to call anyone a competitor?

And that watervalve... that will be a top notch product

There is nothing on that forum that is of interest now. Before it was a joy to open it and read what others had achieved, look at it now, just full of beta comments of possible new FW.
Commercially, I've opted for Homeseer and have never looked back especially as HS4 now supports node-red natively, but always read this forum first as it has many old friends on board advancing Home Management Automation. Keep up the good work guy's and don;t look back. -
I have moved it from my favourites and it feels... releaving
-
Well welcome to the club, I think that makes at least three of us now

yeah, so sad to have lost a lot of smart people. plus, many other lost interest, so traffic is down and interest is low. that's normal when you think it's 1 year since a new firmware and the new one is not even an alpha.
-
@therealdb they do have an "alpha" however! It's Melih sitting on a rock, beating the drum and banging on his chest like a real alpha monkey while banning people.
-
I'll be joining you all soon, just posted about Homeseer 4 and multiple Zed-Nets( ser2net), something Vera can't handle.

Ah, interesting... I had PM’d the OP of that thread saying that the place to get good advice on topics like that was here!
(So if they read that, I’ll be joining too.)
-
Yeah really don't miss the old forum thanks to @DesT!
Live and let ... be.
Happy as clam with my zwave and zigbee setup honestly... and to not have had to exclude/re-include anything to get there was a major part of it, given the size of my network. -
Well that was quick/painless :). Thanks BlackCat!
@DesT - One other thing that would be handy is for code blocks to have a 'click - copy to clipboard' function. Unless I just missed that somehow as well

I would need to check that. Pretty sure for the moment there's no option for that!

I had this too at the very beginning and managed to correlate it to noise in the zwave network "corrupting" the z-way device database. Strangely z-way allows for further command class discovery after interview and inclusions, which enables wrong interview settings when somehow a zwave packet passes the zwave CRC check. I have completely eliminated this problem by reducing the noise on the 900MHz band which z-way enables you to monitor.
It was part of my effort to remove all these crappy power bricks around the controller, using a USB extension cord to move the uzb away from other electronics etc... regardless of this problem, it is a good thing to do anyway to reduce errors, lower retry rates and network improve speed. These are things software can't help with. They are physical RF noise which should be minimized as much as possible.
