I am close to moving over from Vera (2) to ST v2. I have been combing the forums for information and I think I have a handle on what ST v2 can do. Local control is key for me which is why I didn’t buy V1. With that said I have the following devices with my Vera GE Link Lights (and Wink Hub) (zigbe…

[image] Scubabs: JD. I have a Veralite that I have been using for years. Is there a way to transfer my included devices in Vera, and “move” them into ST.? I just got my STv2 yesterday and it seems to be working with my zig be devices, which my vera lite would not. But my concern is that the STv…

[image] BBoy486: [image] JDRoberts: Are you sure that device is a repeater? Only mains-powered devices repeat, a battery-powered device will not. Also, have you tried a Zwave repair? Yes it is a powered device and I have done several heals. The farthest device will not configure. The upd…

Just saw this on another thread, your thoughts? Richardo, you can use the SmartThings Dashboard to simply clone your existing Z-Wave network and switch controllers. Note this is a z-wave standard function and you can do the same to go from SmartThings to Vera or other. To do so from the Dashboard …

[image] BBoy486: Local control is key for me which is why I didn’t buy V1. You do realize that V2 “local control” is very limited. As of today, only a single app (Smart Lights) has been cleared t run locally and only if all devices it controls also run locally on the hub, i.e. not third-party…

My understanding is that people have used that to go from smartthings to Vera, but not the other way around. The SmartThings hub can definitely join a different network as a secondary Z wave controller. So I think that’s what that post refers to. If you would give the link for the post it would h…

Right…l saw in that thread that one community member said they were able to transfer their zwave devices from Vera to smartthings using the secondary controller step, but then when another community member asked how to then make SmartThings the primary, that first person never answered them and neit…

I do not have a minimote. Isn’t the issue that the Vera has to be close to the device? How would the minimote help? I will exclude and include again but I have to drag out a long Ethernet cord as the wifi setup on Vera always breaks the Vera.

[image] geko: While SmartThings can fetch still images from many IP cameras (using custom device handlers), the images are stored in the Amazon S3 “bucket” and cannot be sent to the third-party services, as far as I know. Also to keep in mind, unlike Vera, SmartThings hub can only talk to LAN (…
