Hi Sorin and Melih.
At the end of the discussion. Is it going to be possible to translate in a Vera Edge gateway the vera firmware to Ezlo firmware.
I say because we have sold a lot of Vera Edge devices in the last months. How to explain to our customers the firmware is old and we must reset the zwave network to be able to upgrde it?
I think the most important think is the zwave network could be translated from one controller to another running Ezlo, without exclude/include hard work. The scenes, programs, ⌠are less important, it´s more easy work to do new programs the âexclude/includeâ.
The new Ezlo FW will be supported on the Vera edge/secure/plus. It is already in beta testing with the edge. It will require re-pairing of your Z wave devices, and you will have to set everything up all over again including scenes plugins etc.
What about Qubino all products? and TBKHome products? Any plan of support?
regards
Yes, they are already in plan
Please keep telling us any products you want to see supported in our new platforms under this post: Tell us which integrations you want us to make for the ezlo platform
We will keep updating the list with all the requests coming from the community and show progress of all those devices integration process.
Sorry, TBKHome should be TKBHome productsâŚ. (two letters interchanged)
No problem Btw if you have any particular TKBHome products to mention specifically, pls do so in this post so we can prioritize them among others. Tell us which integrations you want us to make for the ezlo platform
Thanks, in my particular case, I own TZ74 (EU Version) and TZ37 (EU Version too)
Best regards and take care.

Itâs easy to just copy from the post and paste into an Excel spreadsheet.
itâs even easier to click on a link and get the result
Wish you would finally add the Inovelli LZW36. One of the best dimmers out there and no support
Is the LZW36 even available yet? The company website suggests itâs still in beta, âa work in progressâ and was only due for release in Q2 of this year.
Ha, sorry. Pulled that off my pre-order and copied the wrong one. I meant the LZW31-SN Dimmer.
Hi @MCakan @melih
it is very good all these integrations but each time you have to wait for the release of a new firmware, why not offer the user a place where to download the integration files of the new modules, like a store for example?
Hi @Pitt13,
For the new Ezlo platform we separated device integration process and new firmware releases. So as soon as a device is integrated to our new platform it is directly there for all of our users to use it ( no more waiting for a new firmware) We are also naming them here each week with what we have integrated in the last week (with the posts like this)
Hi
will we have this system on the next update for Vera (Vera plus)?
Sorry but no @Pitt13. It is actually not a vera HW vs ezlo HW issue. It is an old FW vs new FW issue. Since for now new FW means new HW, we have this feature for now only on new HW. We are also working on moving our vera hw to the new fw (we are working here on the alpha for vera egde controllers to move them into new fw)
I am sure there is a better place to post this but i just read through this thread and WOW! There is a lot of things i didnât know about. Hopefully someone can answer a few questions:
-
Is Vera dead!?
-
Do we expect any more firmware updates? Beyond minor fixes? (Vera Plus)
-
When will the new Ezlo be able to do all the things that Vera Currently does? Does it already?
4a. What is the incentive to stick with Vera/Ezlo if i have to unpair and repair my entire network? I found this thread b/c i was frustrated by lack of support for LZW36 that lead me to looking into Hubitat (again) which lead me here.
4b. if i have to rebuild my whole network why not make the switch to Hubitat (or other)?
-
Will Luup still be a thing?
-
Will I be able to bring over my scenes and apps? Copy and paste scene code?
-
Is Ezlo going to be a steep learning curve? if so what is the incentive to stick with this platform?
8-n. I have so many more questions but really what i want to hear is an answer from the company, whatever its current name, and from the community as to why should i should not buy a Hubitat today and say goodbye to this group?
Also maybe I am not as active on the community boards as many others but seriously when were you going to tell us that Vera is dead?
Not quite yet.
There is a new beta firmware currently in the developers only group with quite a large list of fixes.
Who knows when?
No it doesnât already.
No incentive.
They might still surprise us with a migration path maybe?
Let us know what you think of Hubitat?
Yes
As it stands scenes will need to be recreated.
LUA code should still work.
All current 3rd party plugins will be incompatible and will need to be rewritten
From an end users perspective No it wonât be a steep learning curve.
Ezlo Innovation llc.
Lets hope they will be innovating.
The back end underlying system, Linux OS, Z-Wave / Zigbee stacks and APIs etc, has had a full rebuild.
Front end seems to be the same old Vera app with some minor improvements and changes.
@cw-kid I wish I could say that I liked your response but I can say that I am thankful for it.
âNot quite yet.â I guess I need to start looking at this seriously. Are there any other threads that you would recommend i read before making a decision. I would like to be convinced to stay but at this point i am really considering jumping ship. (8 years )
Vera has got some legs left yet.
The current Vera hub hardware will be able to be âupgradedâ to the new Ezlo Linux firmware.
Currently we can only do this with the Vera Edge.
So the hardware isnât going end of life.
Itâs the software and firmware thatâs changing.
Iâve used Vera for over 10 years and I am not panicking yet about jumping ship.
If you have a stable nicely running Vera installation now then I see no rush to start doing anything.
