Yes I prefer the HC2 for two reasons.=20=20
=20
One it has a faster response time than the VeraLite. i.e. when multiple
com=
mands are sent at once, dim, dim etc. (However the VeraLite is a low spec
c=
ontroller and there are other Vera=E2=80=99s options also available). Don=
=E2=80=99t forget both Fibaro and Vera will interface with HomeVision via
h=
ttp requests I can help you with this if you need it.
=20
The other reason is it has a much better user interface, both for setup
and=
what I can endpoint screens. iPad and iPhone, I don=E2=80=99t have any And=
roid but there is a Fibaro App available for this also.
=20
The negatives for Fibaro =E2=80=93
1) The OS has been totally revamped around Christmas time and has been
r=
eleased as a beta, it still has many bugs. Fibaro are fixing them but
they=
are slow. When the HC2 is shipped it comes with the stable version but no=
t as feature rich as the beta upgrades. (I=E2=80=99m not sure what
features=
are missing.) As we are on the cutting edge/early adopters a lot of us don=
=E2=80=99t mind waiting for updates, tinkering and fixing stuff with
workar=
ounds.=20=20
=20
2) The Fibaro forums are useful but not as mature as the Micasaverde
(Ve=
ra) forums
=20
3) Even though the user interfaces are nice they are not customisable.
I=
believe you can use Roomie, NetIO or a simple webpage via the HTTP API if =
this is needed.
=20
4) No third party plug-ins allowed yet by Fibaro=20
=20
5) A problem for both the Fibaro and the Vera there are no
I/O=E2=80=99s=
on the controllers, they are wireless only units, hence good we have the H=
TTP API. In the future I may look at using some itach devices.
=E2=80=98des=
igned to connect almost any electrical device to a network in a matter of

inutes=E2=80=99 <http://www.globalcache.com/products/itach/>

lobalcache.com/products/itach/

Good luck with you final choice, I would love to hear what you go for and
y=
our experiences.

Thanks Steve,
=20
You mentioned that you're going from Vera to HC2. Which do you prefer? I'm
=
guessing the HC2?
=20
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
=20
I can=E2=80=99t help you with advice on Z-Wave Alarm systems. However, if
=
you end up choosing the Fibaro Home Center 2 it has a built in plug-in for
=
a Satel Alarm System. I=E2=80=99m sure the Vera will have many more
plug-in=
options for alarms.=20=20
=20
The Fibaro is sadly lacking in plug-in=E2=80=99s, as it=E2=80=99s not
curre=
ntly open to third party developers. Albeit it=E2=80=99s said to be coming
=
in the future.=20
=20
=20
=20
Kind Regards,=20

So as I'll be losing Comfort in the new house, what wire-free alarm
systems=
that have good Z Wave connectivity should I be looking at? Not interested =
in a monitored system but something that is reliable with battery powered
P=
IRs etc. main panel can be mains powered of course.=20
