Has anyone here tried to get Vera3 to be a secondary to the Smartthings hub? I put the Vera3 on 2.78 mode and clicked on copy z-wave network from master controller. On the smart things, I went to connect new device mode. Unfortunately, the Vera3 is unable to receive any data. Any ideas?

This thread may have some insights:
Is there a way to bring in a secondary controller? My existing home automation setup revolves around a Vera Lite which controls:
8-ish (I lose count) z-wave light switches)
1 z-wave open/close sensor (Schlage I think)
1 z-wave motion sensor (Aeon Tech)
2 kwikset z-wave door locks
Nest Thermostat*
3 Foscam IP Cameras (MJPG version)*
A DSC Alarm Panel (with Envisalink)*
*The last three are all IP controlled devices
Moving the z-wave switches and sensors is easy… I get that. But I’d like to keep the VeraLite around as the primary controller for the kwikset locks and IP devices until SmartThings itself can control those. I know it can do locks, but from what I’ve read it doesn’t seem to be able to program extra pins or let them expire (yet? status on that?). For IP devices I woul…

I did look at that thread. Unfortunately, it did not shed any light on what I needed to do differently.

I ended up not being able to get this to work. Got to the point where I can remove the vera from my system though, so I’m OK with that.
