Considering moving to Fibaro

[Aderrington 0]

Hi,

I'm hoping some of you can help,

I'm looking at moving from my Vera Lite controller to a HC2 Lite controller, The main reason is due to my Vera Lite constantly falling over and becoming unresponsive.

I've got a couple of queries before i make the plunge.

1) Does Fibaro support the StellaZ TRV, I've got 1 at the moment and would like to use more of them if i can change set points for them all.

2) How does it cope with day to day automation? e.g I've got several automatic scenes such as when motion or door sensor is triggered turn a light on for 3 mins, and if movement is sensed within that 3 mins it will reset the counter and start the count down again. Will it cope with multiple counters running at the same time?

3) How stable is the HC2 Lite?

I've reached out to both Fibaro UK and Vesternet for some answers on the StellaZ TRV query but it'd be great to hear from actual users on your thoughts on the Fibaro Controller.

I've got a lot of Fibaro Dimmers and Motion sensors and they're great so i just hope that the controller is equally as good.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

StellaZ TRV was not supported in version 3.x. It seems that it's not yet supported in version 4 neither. Having tried multiple times in the past, also having a Zipato with those StellaZ, I recommend to go to Fibaro and use Danfoss valves.

After, the question is HCL or HC2 ? Main difference is the use of the LUA scripting, helping really a lot as soon automation becomes a bit more complex : magic or block scenes cannot solve all problems, and certainly not integration with other non z-wave devices.

Some of your scenes will require LUA. LUA is not available on the HCL. If your going switch invest in a HC2
