Ok, so I finally started my migration. I followed the instructions to bring all my legacy stuff over. So far… almost nothing is working. Small things like the http binding are working. The xbmc is as well. Anything to control lights… not so much. So here is what I have. Ubuntu 14. Fresh inst…

ah very cool. i may have to play with that a little then. I am sure using the UI would make this ALOT easier. I have everything working so far from my legacy move over to 2 except i am fighting with my zwave stick. But im almost up and running on 2.
