So ... I am trying to do the following:

Current setup:
Vera Plus (1.7.4955) Zwave only -> HASSIO VM (full control via Vera Integration)

Future Target:
HASSIO VM (leveraging zwave.me UZB1 dongle via USB)

I have done the following so far:

Updated UZB1 dongle (via RPi SmartHome) to latest 5.39 Firmware

I followed the following steps to try and migrate my existing Z-Wave NW (currently on Vera) onto the UZB1 dongle following the steps listed here:

Migrate from Vera to Z-way

Problem:

Steps 1-3: went fine (although the dumps are labeled as dongle.6.1.dump.x)

Step 4: went fine and the UZB1 was recognized as it should be (per dmesg)

Step 5: updating the port to /dev/ttyACM0 went fine, although I didn't see any indication of luup reload (or a save button for that matter when updating the port mapping)

Step 6: I did the touch for dongle.restore, but wasn't sure where to trigger a luup reload (I assumed it was Z-Wave Settings > Advanced > Reload Engine). I believe I got an error message when trying to do that step

Step 7: verify dongle.restore.go I don't recall being in the directions when I was going the test, but I rebooted

Post Reboot: None of my previous z-wave devices were listed. I also checked dmesg via ssh and noticed the following items:

[ 4.328000] Unsupported Device! [ 4.328000] Vendor=658 ProdID=200 [ 4.328000] Manufacturer= Product=

I saw that item a couple times which almost seems like Vera is blocking the UZB1 or at least complaining about it.

I ended up switching the Z-Wave back to the embedded controller, and restoring configuration from backup.

Any suggestions what I did wrong??

Have Aeotec Smart Switch 6 in use with Vera Plus (fw 7.31 - 1.7.5186, decoupled) and now as I'm trying to change its configuration, it seems impossible.

"Save changes" just initiates luup reload, but parameters stay the same. "Configure node right now" does not help either, Vera informs that command sent, but nothing happens. Hard refresh of the browser done.

Device itself is working, e.g. it reports current wattage.

"Automatically configure" is set to "No", if set to "Yes", configuration change is initiated but fails with the message "Failed at: Setting special association"

EDIT: in the end this was solved by unplugging the switch and then plugging it back, some internal state corrupted...

Hi there,

I know this was floating around on the other forum but just hoping someone can post the steps as I’m finally biting the bullet and moving to a USB stick and Zwave JS in home assistant.

Thanks!

So, I recently added Pi-Hole (pi-hole.net) to my networked clients for its open-sourced Ad and Tracker Blocking. Essentially, it’s a DNS Blacklisting solution and it can display the Domains being accessed.
To my dismay I’m seeing the VERA+ attempting calls to facebook.com on a regular basis between 20 – 70 minutes each.
The Active apps on VERA are Sercomm IP Camera, Amazon Alexa Helper, Garage Door, Foscam HD, Reator, SiteSensor and Ezlo Cameras. I just recently removed AltUI before disconnecting from the cloud services.

Any ideas on how I could track down the culprit caller?

Thanks for your consideration.

I've got a Nokia/Withings bathroom scale on which I weigh myself daily. I used to use IFTTT to push every weighing result into a Google Spreadsheet in the cloud, but now that I use MSR, I'm more interested in integrating this data into that workflow.

Has anyone figured out a way to move data from a WiFi-connected scale into the Vera environment? I don't mind trying something indirect, as for instance I've already linked the weights over to my Google Fit app.

Open to suggestions!

Recently I have been getting constant reloads on my Vera Plus running the latest 7.32 beta build. It usually starts after a 3-4 day Luup uptime and the reloads start at around 5am local time and keep going every 30 mins until I physically restart my Vera Plus (unplugging and plugging it back in). Right before a reload I see on the status bar above the modes on the homepage "cannot write user data" then after a few minutes a reload occurs. Looking into the logs I have seen mention of 03 06/21/21 8:53:18.102 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::Reload: low memory Critical 1 m_bCriticalOnly 0 dirty data 1 running 1 <0x76aa7520> almost every single time a reload happens. I have attached logs from 2 instances this morning where a reload happened. I have noticed that the OpenSprinkler plugin has been very chatty even though I have set debugging to 0, is that what is filling up temp log system?

Hi,

Some devices, I don't know why, stay in a tripped state after the trigger has already closed.

Let me try to explain better.

A door sensor is tripped when it opens the door, for some reason it does not go back to an Untripped state when it closes. Or a motion sensor likewise, arms with a movement, and then does not disarm even though there is no more presence to justify being armed.

Is it possible by some command to make the device reevaluate its state? If the door was closed, and it is still indicating open, reevaluate and put the correct state of closed door?

Thanks.

I have 6 stations in the Open Sprinkler web page/app, however after installing the Vera plugin, only 2 stations appear as Vera devices. I have uninstalled and re-installed, but same result.

I have 3 programs in Open Sprinkler and all of them show up in Vera.

Not sure what I need to do for the other stations to show up as devices in Vera.

Note: I installed the plugin using the Vera apps listing by simply clicking the 'Install' button.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated @therealdb

Thanks,
Chris

Hello, all!

For several years now I've had a Vera Edge at home providing all my z-wave needs. I only really use it as a mechanism to get all my devices integrated into home assistant, which is the brains of the operation.

Recently I ordered a few new z-wave devices that have z-wave 700 chips. They work fine with the Vera (albeit with some more advanced features unavailable), but I figure the Vera's days are numbered are there was a really good pre-order deal available on an Ezlo Plus, so I bought one of those too expecting it would be a drop-in replacement for the aging Vera.

It arrived yesterday, and how wrong I was. There isn't any local control at all as best as I can tell, I can't integrate it with Home Assistant, and doing anything at all requires a clunky app and the cloud. Not what I want.

Googling around I found this post on the home assistant community from few years back from someone who killed the running Vera software on their Vera Edge and ran some software to expose the serial Z-Wave chip to the network so Home Assistant could work with it directly. It looks like that idea eventually evolved into a script that automates the process of nuking the Vera.

Despite just barely knowing what I'm doing I'm giving the same approach a shot on the Ezlo Plus. The first barrier was that ser2net wasn't installed and wasn't available in the mios repo, so I've compiled it from source and I just got it running.

So far that's as far as I've gotten, but I'm interested in hearing from the community - especially those of you with more knowledge and experience. I have home assistant running on a server in my basement so the goal of network-attached radios that can be better located in the house is an attractive one, but is there even merit to the approach I'm trying to take? Is there a simpler way to get the Ezlo Plus working with Home Assistant that I'm overlooking? Has anyone else already done this and I'm just reinventing the wheel for no good reason? Should I just chalk the Ezlo up as a poor purchasing decision and get on with my life?

Looking forward to your responses!

First I want to say thank you to this group. You have given me ideas and help along the HA path for a long time.
I'm an old Vera user and planning to decouple from MIOS cloud now or after 7.32 but I'm stuck at how to push messages out.
I'm using Reactor and Scenes for Vera native messaging. What's a good solution going forward?

Also want to mention that after reading the Decoupling document I have built a NTP GPS server on a Pi3B and enjoyed learning more about Linux along the way. I have it stabilized after learning 100 different ways.

Thanks

Hello Everyone -

Can someone point me in the proper direction of doing a Vera (Secure) backup?

Specifically, I'm worried about a controller failure and unable to source a new one where I could just use the included backup facilities.

I'm considering staying on Vera a little longer to see what happens with Ezlo (especially around easy migrations).

I know I can manually run backups from the UI but wondering if there's a more "standard" method that would allow me to move to another platform if required. This would require me to pull my (important definition, I feel. This shouldn't be a secret) encryption key off of the Vera as part of the backup - so any pointers there would be helpful as well.

Does anyone have a quick way to delete multiple devices without having to do a reload between each delete? I have about 20 child devices to get rid of and it will take forever to delete them all one by one with a reload in between.

This is just a note for anyone who wants to delete the duplicate child devices the Vera likes to create. In my pervious experience when I would delete a child device (duplicate or not) the parent device would get deleted too.

What I now have discovered is that if you go into AltUI and clear the value set in the attribute for the child device called id_parent you can simply delete the child device without the parent device getting deleted.

I am unsure if the new FW recently added the ability to delete child devices like this, but now I went from 30+ child devices down to the expected 4. Hope this helps someone out!

Anyone installed the new beta f/w on their Vera unit and liking it?

Hello @therealdb , I have updated to the new vera FW and cant seem to get your plugin working. I keep seeing "install jq package" on the device itself and when I reset everything and got a new cookie file I see this in the device's Latest Response variable: ERROR: missing argument for -d /storage/alexa/alexa_remote_control_plain.sh [-d .

I have used the code to reset the cookies, added a new cookie file, added the OTP, updated the plugin (did this first actually) and still cant get it working.

Testing some TTS commands I see this response in my logs:

I use the ROKU plug-in from Vera's app repository. It seems to constantly add Log entries every 5 seconds or so, to the point where my LuaPnP log is just littered with page-long reports about the status of my Roku TV. My Log is 75% "Roku" status!

The only pertinent setting I see under Advanced > Variables is "PollingEnabled" (default: true) which when set to false does indeed stop the logging altogether. But I fear this also completely stops the plug-in from checking TV status which otherwise would update variables that happen to trigger some of my MSR routines. (More testing needed here...)

But do you guys know of any way -- up to and including editing the D_, I_ or L_ files of the plug-in itself! -- to simply stop or slow a running plug-in from writing to the Log??

Also, is there any harm (other than mild annoyance when I have to review the Log for unrelated things) in allowing Vera to write so vigorously to the Log all day long??

THANKS!

I regret my decision to click "Configure Node Right Now" on an otherwise working device (a Fibaro RGBW LED dimmer control) while it was "Off". Doing so seems to have caused all of its "children" devices (RGB(R), RGB(G), etc.) to disappear from my Vera UI, and I have no idea how to get them back.

Meanwhile, the parent device keeps reporting "Device Failed to Configure" (in red)** and cannot be controlled by Vera any longer. Nor do the attached LEDs go "On" in response to other Scenes.

How do I undo this innocent mistake? Restarting the Luup engine and hard-refreshing my browser/UI has not helped.

THANKS!

P.S. What does that button DO!??!

EDIT: Now the affected device reports (in light blue) "Please wait! Getting the manufacturer...", then "Setting special association", etc. Then 8 unnamed devices magically appeared in the affected room...
I am hoping these are good signs?

Seems as though during my testing of the Vera Mobile app, I set up a couple of Scenes (now deleted) which never worked anyway.

But MSR's "Entities" tab still shows the presence of two waypoints (with Vera ID's like vera>geo_1625761_1) which I have no clue how to delete.

I've searched high and low in the app (Settings, Users, etc.), and can't think of anywhere in the Vera Plus UI to look for these - not even sure what to call 'em - to Delete them.

Any clues?

I just peeked into my Vera Plus > User and Account Info > Other Users and much to my astonishment (and horror?) found a little surprise waiting for me, an account called "LinuxTest".

Seems it magically has the highest possible authority ("Account Administrator") within my Vera Plus, along with a contact email of linuxtest@mailinator.com

Does this appear on anyone else's 7.32 (beta firmware) Vera unit?

(In case it matters... no, I've never requested or authorized Customer Support on this unit, at least not in the past 10 years.)

Hmm. - Libra

I have a VeraPlus and would like to purchase a second z-wave controler. Is it possible to build a second z-wave network next to an existing z-wave network? Slowly I want to move devices form Vera to the new z-wave network. Is it more advisable to install the second z-wave controller as a slave controler?
