I don't think it can even do a decent "if" condition without a plugin. The vera has extremely basic scene capabilities. The tasker plugin for vera (autovera) is free and imperihome works without any plugins.Īutomation: Homeseer Zee S2 wins here. I'll have to buy the Tasker plugin ($40) and the Imperihome plugin ($40) for a total of $250. Price: The Vera lite is only about $90 and the plus is $150. Homeseer can be a real power hog if you buy the software and install it on an old computer. Power Usage: Both controllers sip power (probably less than 10watts). The Zee needed to be plugged in and connected to my lan with a cable to do the same thing (which required some creative solutions). Its battery let me carry it to devices that needed to be within a meter of the vera during pairing. So it has some decent power, memory, power consumption, and expandability.ĭevice pairing/removing: The vera was substantially easier. The Zee S2 is basically a raspberry pi 2 running the Linux version of Homeseer. I was pondering the differences/benefits a few months ago, so hopefully this helps someone. Of course, this is all my opinion - but I've had a Vera Lite for a few years and also have a Hometroller Zee S2. Since there's a lot of talk about dissatisfaction with Vera and discussion about Homeseer, I thought I'd share some thoughts and experiences.
