    Thank you Rob.

    Here will benchmark the Pine64 using Ubuntu/Homeseer 3 and compare it to the numbers I see right now with the Xi3 Xi5a and RPi2 which do fine running Homeseer 3 lite.

    Yesterday switched the video out on the Xi5a such that it utilizes the Display port video output. Never used one before. Works well with the LCD TV.

    I do not know if I want to use it as a Kodi box ...that said it was only $60.



    Switched the HS3 Zee-2 stuff over to the Xi5a and running ZWave remotely from the old RPi2/GPIO ZWave board.

    Here is another picture of the Pine64 board.

      Yeah the Xi3 Xi5A is an interesting computer. It is built to last a long time.

      Concurrently turning a Joggler tablet in to another HS3 lite computer using a 64Gb SSD on it for XUbuntu 14.04. (It has a slower dual threaded Atom and only 512Mb of memory and does fine running HS3 lite).

      Found copies of receipts for some state universities that purchased thousands of the Xi3 computers.

      Running Kodi on one of them in my home office to the LCD TV. Does fine.

        I do run a cheap HDMI -> VGA and it works fine on a cheap VGA monitor.

        Also pictured are 2 Solid-Run Hummingboards. The one with the red heatsink actually ran HS3 for me a while back. They run Linux just fine. I'm actually trying to get android loaded on one of them to test out HSTouch.

        The hummingboards are terrible for OpenElec. Even with the beefy heatsinks, they run WAY too hot and I wouldnt trust them in an enclosure. They burn my fingers to the touch.
        Hummm.. Doesn't look like Mono will compile on the AARCH64 platform. ARMV8 isn't supported yet. You have any luck?

          No - havent even tried that. I have Ubuntu desktop loaded up now, but will be loading Kodi on the Pine64.

            BTW the Pine64/2Gb is a good RPi2 Zee-2 (Homeseer 3 lite) replacement.

            It will run HS3 Pro faster than an S-2 but personally I would get a PC with a bit more meat to it for running HS3Pro.


            I posted a DIY over here ===> Pine64 Zee-2 Homeseer 3 Lite build.

            relating to a quickie build of a Homeseer Lite (Zee-2) on the Pine64.

            Code:

            I wrote it up really quick. Please post any questions about what I did in this thread.
