I've learned about Blue Iris here at the homeseer forum and I'm glad I've decided to take a little look at it. I must say I'm quite impressed by it's feature set and that it has been running quite well, despite being run from a VM.
#Securityspy beta windows 10
So, I've set it up on a Windows 10 Pro VM under Parallels Desktop 11. Unfortunately, it seems to be Windows only. I'm currently also trying Blue Iris 4 (to manage security cams on my property). I would very much like to keep it that way, but. Here we have an all Apple household as well. I agree the performance shows real potential and I look at this and Ubuntu once I get through this week.
#Securityspy beta android
I did run up one of the Pine64 on Android and used it with a HP 23in Touch Screen. I have the same Davis setup running on the Mac Mini running Weather-Display. The Mac Mini Server does run a few other things, so it isn't a candidate but I have another Mac Mini I5 I could test on.

I have a habit of install new version of any software in sandbox before updating. I never thought about installing Ubuntu, I have 16.04 running on ESxi but unused. The irony is, I now have multiple monitors and keyboards stacked in racking in the garage maybe time to get rid of them. Most of the systems here run headless or VM but I have a few fully connected systems, including two RaspPi Kano for the kids. I too had HS2 running on Server 2003 and then moved it to a Win Home Server but when I changed my employment, I decided to down scale and moved to Vera for a number of years.
#Securityspy beta upgrade
the only thing I did do was upgrade the z-wave plugin and both. HS3 Pro has been running on the MAC Mini Server without issue. I haven't really done anything at all on this front due to a death in the family. That said I decided to keep the PipoX7 Windows 10 machine connected to a 15" multitouch monitor and Kinect for that ultimate Homeseer Touch screen.
#Securityspy beta 64 Bit
I also tested the PipoX7 Intel Baytrail / 2Gb computer running Ubuntu 64 bit and it did much better than the RPi2. I shutdown HS3 today when doing Ubuntu updates. Here over the years have always shut down Homeseer when updating the OS out of habit I guess. That said the built in RTC / 2Gb of memory makes it a better computer than the RPi3 for me. I have read that the video GPU works but is a bit lite. I have not had any issues with the Pine64 / 2Gb machine.

The RPi2 is velcroed to the back of the wireless Davis console. I have another RPi2 running headless CumulusMX connected to my Davis Weather station console. The Pine64/2Gb / Xi5A (running HS3 Lite) have no monitor / keyboard connected today.

IE: I put my RPi2 Z-Wave slave in the attic with a POE connection to power it. Think of the automation server as an appliance only used for automation. Suggesting here to just install Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit on your MAC mini to be able to get the most from the i7 / 16Gb of memory.Īfter all you are really only interested in a Home Automation server and not so much a desktop computer. Running Wintel servers (2) as VB's on the Ubuntu box just for different adds (hardware is a PITA to deal with though but have it working). On Homeseer 2 went over to running it on Windows 2003 standard server. Running iOS on the Mac Mini will utilize valuable resources to graphical interface similiar to using Windows 10. Yup with HS3 Pro you do not need a monitor connected to the computer. It is a matter of time and commitment and my work is just not giving time to commit too this, so the advice and your experience is greatly appreciated. I like the Pine64 but I need to test, especially given the known defects that have been reported. The biggest issue of running on the MAC is updates takes your HA offline. I haven't had any spare time to sent this up, but Ubuntu is looking very promising. I have a Pine64 2gb but awaiting the z-wave as AU is last to be delivered and they keep send to the wrong address. I am using a z-wave me USB and the best response has been on the MAC Mini server. The one persistent issues was z-wave response which would experience inordinate delays. I have bounced between WINTEL i7 16 Gb, the RasPi 3, Mac Min with VM WINTEL and a few other Atom system I had around. My system is about 75 z-wave devices, sonos x 6, DSC 1864, Harmony and a few minor things.

Just testing it now and the core issue is the logs as discussed earlier. Pete, thank you for the detailed responses.
