Migrating a vera z-wave controller to Neeo
Hi folks,
I have a Vera Edge controller with quite a bunch of sensors and switches but I'm not quite happy with the stability issues of the Vera and would like - at least to give a try - to migrate my actual z-wave network on to the Neeo brain.
Would that be possible ?
Any one got an idea how to proceed ?
Thanks.
Gilles
p.s. still investigating. I will post an update if I can find a solution.

Hi Gilles!
Thanks for reaching out! The NEEO Brain can totally act as a Z-Wave controller and a secondary controller. You can do this by following these steps:
Go to the settings in the NEEO App > then go to NEEO Brain > then choose "Z-Wave Actions". Put your Vera Edge Controller into learning/inclusion mode. After doing so you will need to choose "Include in existing network".
Follow these steps and let me know the outcome!
Best,
Jeff Z

If I understand Gilles correctly, he would like to do a primary controller shift.
-
Paul Spee the final goal would be to be able to use the z-wave sensors and switches in Neeo Receipes.

Gilles Burnier Keep in mind, actually you can't display any sensor data with NEEO.

How did you get on? I have tried to do the above but nothing happens...

Steve Grant no success as of today, but had no time to investigate any further

Just included my Neeo into my Vera network. It isn't showing any devices yet on neeo.. It may just be slow, the vera's aren't all that fast. I am hoping I can get rid of the vera one day. Are there any other alternatives that show power usage etc..
-
Sorry forgot to add, I am also seeing "Please wait! Getting secure classes" on the vera.. It has been like this for about 10 minutes.
-
Devices are slowly showing up in the list, unfortunately they all come up as the same name (the actual z-wave device) is there a way for you to suck down the device name that is associated with it in vera?
-
How do you set Vera into learing/inclusion mode? I have tried with Selecting Add device -> Generic z-wave device. But NEEO doesn't seem to find anything and neither Vera does something but search, what am I doing wrong?
-
Damian Alarcón Try using the physical Sync button on the Vera Edge unit. Inclusion mode is started by pressing it once briefly, exclusion mode when pressed >3 seconds.
This way I added all my zwave components to Neeo.
Please be aware that currently you cannot assign a zwave device to a room, they will all be in one room.
