I've been using Vera Pro for the last few years and have finally decided to move on. Installed Home Assistance and immediately fell in love but needed a ZWave bridge to replace the Vera hardware.
After searching around I found a few recommendations on the ZWave.Me UZB1 stick. For that price tag I just thought, "Why Not?.. let's try it and see if it works". And amazingly it did. I managed to exclude and include some of my devices pretty easily and gave them a test run for a couple of weeks.
Everything seems to work great and I'm now going to start moving all my devices.
Strongly recommend!
