Making an image of a Vera and getting it to run on a Raspberry Pi

  1. Does it violate any licensing stuff if I don’t use the original Vera after this is done?
  2. Is it possible?

Just wondering. The Raspberry Pi 2 is an amazingly powerful platform, much more memory and CPU capability than the Vera. It would allow plugins that were more resource intensive (logging and graphing, like RRDTool), on-box TTS, etc.

The problem is both the Vera intellectual property and the Z-wave chip licence.

However, RPi, BeagleBone Black, etc are great platforms. See also the thread on openHAB.

I’m pushing ahead with the implementation of ‘openLuup’: it doesn’t crash, or restart, and it’s much faster and more memory efficient for plugins.
