Have you checked out Home Assistant? I've been using a Vera for years and switched to Home Assistant a few months ago. I haven't gotten my minimotes to work yet, but other than that it's been pretty solid and there are tons of built in integrations. Using their newer hass.io installer is easy and clean but it's harder to tinker with than hassbian. Hass.io runs the homebridge addon in a container on the same raspberry pi pretty trivially, which is nice.

When I was getting started with home assistant I just ran it in a VM and used HA's vera integration for all devices. Then I could slowly cut over the Hue controller, the envisalink alarm interface and the zwave devices directly using a zstick. Once it was working I put it all on a raspberry pi and unplugged the vera.
