Associate one device to two Vera

Hi,

do you know if I can pair one device with two vera?

I would maintain my stable Vera 2 and start working on VEra 3 UI5…

Thank you!

You can load a backup of your vera 2 onto your vera 3 to keep your network. This will allow you get upand running faster. You can only have one primary controller for each device. Going the backup/restore route on vera 3 will bypass this.

You’ll have to install the plugins from scratch as they will most likely be newer than the ones you have on vera 2. I would assume your vera 2 is UI4. I forgot to mention, when doing a restore on Vera 3, be sure to select restore z-wave dongle.

In this way all my device will be working in UI5 after backup without the need to repair?

Thanks again :slight_smile:

Correct. When restoring a backup and selecting to restore the z-wave dongle, you’ll keep your routing of your z-wave devices. I also forgot to mention that when doing a restore, if you get a no z-wave dongle message on Vera 3, go into the z-wave settings and under the zwave port section you’ll need to change /dev/tty0 to /dev/ttyS0.
