Need some initial advice on HC2

[elo 0]

I am a Z-vawe "user" for many years and I have been through HomeSeer and Vera (currently) as gateways and control systems. Currently I am using Vera but I am sick and tired of it and the many bugs and shortcomings. I am seriously consider to change to Fibaro HC2. I have some 50 nodes comprising on/off, motor control, shutter control, thermostates and HVAC controll, safety devices, movement detectors, temp-hunidity-movement sensors, integration with home theater components, integration to servers,  etc etc.   To make my decission more easy I am wondering if someone in this forum can answer the following questions:

 

1. Is there a working plugin to interface with Logitech Harmony remotes (hubs). I see there is a plugin and wonder about the experience with it or where I can find documentation
2. Is there interface to LAN based IR units (for instance Kira IR controll)
3. For Vera there is a PLEG (programable Logical event generator plugin) that enables seting up advanced logical expressions with following actions. (WIthout this in Vera , Vera is useless). Can someone point me in the right direction to read about the possibilities to set up advanced logical expressions in HC2
4. I have some Phillips hue light and IKEA traadfri in my home. Are the supported either directly in HC2 or through plugins?
5. Support for older Z-Wawe devices. I have a number of older Merten devices (battery). Like Merten 507119, Merten  508019 . If these are supported this will alone compensate for the higher price og the HC2. Thes divices can be included in the Vera system but it turns out impossible to configer them!!!!

 

I will be very thanfull if someone take the time to write some advice!

@elo We'll, there are not many plugins, most off them are camera plugins. so that would be a problem.

What was the reseon that you left homeseer to go to vera?

@akatar  Its many years ago but as I remember :

1. Instabilities. Nodes just disappeared and lost communications. Problems with unsupported devices to be included as generics
2. Running on a windows PC which made the system very exposed for WIndows problems. Very difficult for non experts to start the system if is went down in my absence. (Could of course have purchased a dedicated Gateway as they were available)
3. Lack of high quality mobile apps.  Expert system difficult to use for the rest of the family.

WHat about the other questions?
