There is a new member who seems to be a little shy to say hello.
Let's give Sorin a big welcome......

General Information - I thought some of the regulars would like to register. Links down the bottom,Interesting that they are looking into the failures....wonder if there will be any mention of you know what.....

Z-Wave Works With Amazon, Google, Samsung, Apple, Comcast Virtual Conference
by DrZWave
Silicon Labs is hosting what was intended to be an in-person conference in Austin Texas but is now a virtual online conference on IoT ecosystems - the Works With Smart Home Developer Event September 9-10. The best part is it is now FREE to attend any of the in-depth technical sessions and you don't have to wear a mask. The downside is that we don't get to experience all that great music down in Austin - well, there's always next year!

Virtual IoT Works With EcoSystems from Google, Amazon, Apple for Z-Wave development engineers

I am hosting the Z-Wave track and will be making several presentations including a detailed look at Silicon Labs latest release of Simplicity Studio V5 which just came out yesterday. We'll also have presentations on developing Z-Wave Smart Hubs and Z-Wave Certification. I'll also be describing some IoT failures - you learn more from your failures than your successes. We have speakers and engineers from all of the ecosystem partners, not just Silicon Labs folks. Learn from the experts from across the industry!

What is Works With 2020? The smart home developer’s virtual event where you will have the opportunity to interact with our ecosystem partners from Amazon, Google, Samsung, and Z-Wave to connect devices, platforms and protocols and be able to immerse yourself in keynotes, a panel discussion on Project CHIP, hands-on, and technical sessions led by smart home engineers who are building the latest advanced IoT devices. The Works With event is live, all-online, free of charge, and you can join from anywhere around the world.

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.

Thanks for changing to white, now it's all readable..... I really struggle with dark backgrounds.

The UZB aerial is helictical ( it is in a Black Cat UZB, so I'll assume that they are mostly similar), superior to a copper trace.
It's radiation pattern is also superior to the polarization of a copper trace.
You could add a full wave antenna to a UZB, but you will get positive results just with a USB extender and another marked improvement if you add a Powered USB Switch.

I'm surprised there is no love either, guess the time that Vera takes to maintain doesn't allow for other activities.........:)

I invested in a 3D Printer...eventually.
Turns out there not that expensive after all. +1 to a Ender V2. Easy to put together and great youtube support.
The hardest part has been learning CAD- Autodesk, probably should say the most frustrating part, but now fairly conversant and can design complex designs.
That was my winter, now we are looking at Spring & Summer and the end of lockdown.
The EnderV2 is turning out adapters and wall brackets, quality is better than good and is merchantable.

Without doubt Homeseer 4.
Download a free trial version for 30 days, I never looked back.

Homeseer can do this without interference.
I had multiple Z-wave UZB's Pi mounted all connected by ser2net to the Primary HS Controller as a test, the physical limit is over 200.
No bridge required, just as many RasPi (and UZB's) as you need (or want). Other protocols may require a Converter.
With HS you can add Interfaces for many protocols - HS wan't designed as a Z-wave box, rather as a HA controller which would accept multiple interfaces - that's the beauty of HS, it's a semi profesional system without the $$$$ price tag.

It was in the wrong time zone for me, middle of the night. Sounds like I didn't miss much.
I use RaspPi's a lot and like the flexibility they have.
With the price of SSD's now it's more feasible to ditch the SD Card and boot from it.
I have a 340GB that cost me next to nothing which I plan to add to my test Homeseer Controller after our lockdown ends.

@Trexx

I'll be joining you all soon, just posted about Homeseer 4 and multiple Zed-Nets( ser2net), something Vera can't handle.

I picked up a new WD SSD for practically next to nothing (wow, have prices on storage dropped) and want to replace the SDC in omy HS4 Pi that I added Node Red to.
I know that a thread existed on this, perhaps on the Vera forum before it was censored. I can't find it here can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thks

If you want to talk about failures and it was my company that had to admit defeat with existing FW, then I wouldn't want to be present either.
