Hello! We've had a Micasaverde Vera (2nd generation) running our heating for a number of years now, via a handful of Horstmann HRT4-ZWs, and it's worked ok. However, Vera has been randomly dying on an increasingly frequent basis since Christmas, so it looks as though it is on its way out. Waking up early to switch the heating on manually for SWMBO is getting a bit old.
I notice that the SmartThings system is new, supports ZWave, and presumably has decent backing from Samsung. Does anyone have any experience of swapping from Vera to SmartThings, or using both? How well will SmartThings support my Horstmanns and additional Z-Wave sockets?
How does programming SmartThings compare with Vera's LUUP? FWIW, I think Vera's LUUP implementation is nasty with pretty much zero assistance for editing or debugging code in any meaningful way.
