What does this mean?Highlights
Quality
My second vera edge in 3 years and i still love this product
It does take some thought and there is a learning curve but if you don’t mind that then it is a great product
Vera does have cameras they say will work with the system though
If indeed the unit is affected by these in this case the system should be stable with the next firmware version launched
Competitiveness
Linked a schlage camelot smart lock and it was easy to set up and so far so good
No fees and unmatched zwave device support
One thing that does not work well or at all is the camera integration of reolink security cameras
My take on the alternativesafter using vera for a while i also purchased and played around with a smartthings hub for a few weeks

By leveraging some of the free apps in the marketplace i have figured out ways to accomplish any type of automation i would like and i have still probably only tapped a small of the platforms capability

It seems that there is a larger community of smartthings users out there and i wanted to see what the hype was all about

Just to get functionality on certain devices that vera supported naively

I am not saying smartthings is bad and perhaps with more time i would have been converted but it just was not the right fit for me and i was already getting comfortable with vera

Things like turning on a light based on the time of day or state of motion sensor or even adding multiple conditions or triggers and multiple device actions are simple scenes to set up

On the basic side there is one called daynight which can let you time lighting scenes based on the local sunrisesunset times to mimic the functionality of dusk to dawn sensor
