Domoticz

What is better, Aeon Labs or the RaZberry 2.0?
I allready own a Aeon Labs but i'm moving my Domoticz to a Rasberry Pi 2, the Razberry 2.0 does not use a USB and can be build into the casing, but if the Aeon is a better controller i'm going to keep using that.

My experiences with openzwave in combination with the Razberry are really bad, on one side due to the trouble setting up connection with ttyAMA0 serial port (especially with RPi3 with bluetooth), on the other side due to random timeouts, non-functioning inclusion etc.
I don't own a Aeotec Z-Stick, but if it works fine for you with openzwave i don't see a reason why you should switch to Razberry.

The main benefit of Razberry is that it comes with the Z-way web interface, which is very user friendly and has full support for a huge amount of Z-Wave devices.
The integration of Z-way in Domoticz is pretty basic compared to openzwave: reading and setting devices is pretty much instant, but there is little diagnostics such as signal strength, dead nodes, etc., and you cannot configure your device settings directly from Domoticz.
Just my two cents, i think both have their pro's and cons.

I started with Razberry card in my PI3 all went well the first days .. but then i got a tone of problem. i decided to go with Aeon Labs Z stick and now my life is better system stability is way better so far 4 months with 1 little crash ... razberry card i got like crash 3-4 times per day .... maximum stability period was like 2 weks.

go with the Aeon labs usb key. this is my recomandation, really personal but still a recomandation

The reason was just finding out if the Razberry works better or the same as the Aeon Labs Stick, Razberry could be build into the case and not use a USB slot, Aeon can't be build in and does need a USB slot.
But from what i read from you and Kerneldomoticz i'm sticking with my Aeon Labs, thanks for the explenation.
