It’s also in the Announcements sub forum. Marc posted it this AM.

Gotta have my precious. :slight_smile:

Website says it qualifies for free shipping, but then the cart wants to tack on added shipping. You have to select ‘more carriers’ and then choose free 7 day shipping.

#4

So your saying your shipping was free?

It was when I ordered mine also. ;D

#5

How easy (or not) will it be to migrate from a Vera 3 running UI7?
Will I be able to just restore a backup?
I assume I’ll still have to do a controller shift to transfer the master Z-Wave control?

#6

It’s impossible to say with certainty, until someone gets their hands on it. But, I’d be really surprised if it was any different than the Vera 3 UI7 to Vera Edge upgrade.

Correct, by default they charge you for shipping. You have to change it to get the free shipping.

Sounds pretty cool, but Ill wait a while to upgrade until the bugs get worked out!
