After the veralert service was shut down and Richard confirmed that it will not be available again, I searched for a new notification service to use in my vere secure. I signed up for the PushOver service.
I want to take a snapshot from a camera with camera snapshot address “192.168.4.37/img/snapshot.cgi?size=4&quality=1” and video address “192.168.4.37/img/video.mjpeg” according to a trigger.
Actually, someone (Tlex) did a work about this years ago on the vera forum, but I couldn't understand that script. I also wrote to him to be more descriptive, but I didn't get an answer. Can you help me with this?
With their awesome new X10 switch!

I'm hopping in my 1980s time machine to go see whether this is exactly what I think it is. 🙂
(Srsly, tho, I love(d) X10 and did everything humanly possible to keep that old equipment perking along with Vera, and almost succeeded.)
LibraP.S. Just got banned for the 9th time from Hubitat Forum, so had a little extra time to throw shade.
P.P.S. The boilerplate 5-star reviews for this brand-new product come from bots with names like Avery, Phoenix and Owen (two from Mateo!). Sheesh.
Let's assume you have done the following:
Downloaded and installed Z-Way following these instructions. No Zway license is required to do the following. The software is now all up and running with your UZB stick (whole other post). Dial up this Zway web page: http://<Zway_server_IP_address>:8083/expert/#/network/controller Under the heading "Firmware" take note of the "SDK version" and the "Serial API Version". Say they equal 6.71.01 & 05.23 respectively like it shows here.Now on to Vera:
Go to the Vera UI --> Z-Wave Settings and taken note of the "Version" shown for Vera's internal Zwave IC. For example purposes, say it equals "6.01". You plug your UZB stick into Vera. In the Z-Wave Settings you set the port to "/dev/ttyACM0" You've rebooted Vera, so that it starts using the UZB stick.OK, so what "Version" will Vera now display and the version of what? The version shown by Vera is the "Z-Wave protocol" version or the "Serial API" version - it's unclear which but I suspect the former. However on most occasions the numbers are the same. It's not the Software Developers Kit (SDK) version number.
Knowing the UZB firmware version you can identify what Vera will show with the following table.
From the example above: Zway stated the version as 5.23. It will show in Vera as version 4.61 - see table. However the Vera internals showed up as 6.01. So using this method to copy the Zwave configuration to the stick will not work, as the stick represents a downgrade and you can only do same to same or upgrades. So in this case you need to update the stick firmware from 5.23 to 5.32 as a minimum. Then the stick will show up in Vera with version of 6.01.
Which is great. So you then use the Zway software to upgrade the stick firmware. And that's the last you hear from it because this happens:
"Sorry to inform you, but there is a known issue in some UZB manufactured by our partners on license base that after upgrade they become bricked."
And you have to do this to unbrick it. So time to try someone else's stick. Sigh.

The vera can run both its zwave and zigbee network off of external USB radios instead of the onboard ones. This could have advantages in terms of portability, facilitating migrations or recoveries in case the vera craps out. It could also enable testing of newer radio firmwares.
Zwave is pretty straightforward as its serial API is standardized and the protocol is the same regardless of what brand of USB stick you use. I have run my vera off of USB sticks of various brands for years going from Aeotec, Zooz, Homeseer and even the most generic silabs/Sigma Design. You just insert the stick in the usb port, find out which serial port it created (under the /dev/ folder) and use that port (ie. /dev/ttyACM0, /dev/ttyUSB0 etc) in the zwave advance menu.
Zigbee is a little trickier as the protocol and chipset was not quite as standardized as zwave. The vera only works with ember Znet protocol and you will need to find a usb stick with an EM35x chip in it which already has an ember zigbee firmware loaded. One example of such a stick is the Go Control HUSBZB1 (dual zwave-zigbee stick). The port is not readily accessible on the vera UI but can be accessed either through editing of the /etc/cmh/user-data.json or through ALTUI by going into the hidden zigbee radio device through the "table devices " menu and changing modifying the port variable there.
You can also upgrade the onboard zwave and zigbee radio firmwares from the command line SSH...

Hello everybody.
I would like to automate the underfloor heating. At the moment I have the gateway from vera secure and thermostat with receiver from SRT SECURE with z-wave. I would like to connect to the gateway a receiver with 4 channels from sonoff and 3 temperature and humidity sensors from aliexpress as a thermostat. do you think it is possible?
and one more question... how can I change the name of the wireless network and the password from the gateway?
Thank you very much!
Script to disable all the mios/vera proprietary program and broadcast its zwave and zigbee radio serial ports in your network so it can be picked up by another controller... For example z-way.

Good morning all,
I've got a stable Home Assistant running on a RPI 4 with a Aeotec Z-Stick 7 Plus, and of course the Z-wave JS integration. I've manually moved a handful of devices, and I'm overall much happier with the HA z-wave capability than I am with Vera. There are still some things I'm trying to figure out that I have in Vera that I'm not sure how they'll work in HA, but no deal breakers.
I've got all of my automation on MSR and off of luup Reactor, so really the only thing left for me is to migrate my Z-wave network. I saw @rafale77's post about using a Zwave.me UZB1 to Zway, but of course that's not what I'm using.
Is there a similar method that I can use my Aeotec Z-Stick 7 plus to Home Assistant? I have around 70 Z-wave devices (give or take devices that generate multiple instances in Vera), so manual unpairing, including, etc, would be quite a chore.
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 FirmwareI 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??
Having trouble getting a Vera 3 to recognise a Z-Wave.Me UZB stick.
WinSCP indicates it's mounted at /dev/ttyACM0, so the Vera Z-Wave settings were adjusted to match. On a Luup engine reload Vera UI states: "ZWave : Failed To Start". Ditto for a complete Vera reboot.
Has anyone successfully used a UZB stick with a Vera 3?
Hello Everyone,
I am using iPhone locator on Vera, and yesterday it stopped working. Looking at the logs, I can see the connection is refused, but nothing on my end changed. iPhone locator is really important in my particular setup, so I guess I have two questions.
Is it broken, or is it me?
I don't see anyone else saying there is an issue, but I am not sure how many people are still using it (or Vera for location) at this point. I installed it on a blank Vera test controller, same issue. It might be something with the iCloud account, but it works everywhere else.
Is there something similar on another platform?
Mainly what I would like is the ability to force a poll of iCloud location on demand. I have a bunch of triggers setup, including magnetic sensors in my driveway to sense vehicles and determine if the motion is egress or ingress. These triggers in conjunction with MSR have been a great way to double check phone location, and I would hate to lose this functionality. It looks like HA might have something with "iCloud3". Is anyone using it?
Thanks,
Mike

The only thing left on Vera is now electricity meter readers, and I simply can't find any suitable WiFi replacement.
My hem stopped reporting this august and I’ve replaced it with a Shelly EM. I’m using another one on my solar and they’re amazing fast to report and quite precise. They’re WiFi, and mqtt based. Recommended!
Long story short: I need to tweak some parameters for Fibaro Plugs, to remove frequent notifications about watts (I just need a very good approximation, in order to detect the cycle of washer/dryer), but the parameters depend on the firmware version, and I have:
271,1554,21554
and the other one has:
271,4102,0
Any help is apprreciated.
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.
Screenshot 2021-09-07 at 11.21.28.png
"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...
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?

@toggledbits don't worry, I will be able to sleep tonight
-
Pretty sure at this point that he and I aren't going to be drinking buddies, so I'll leave that to you guys.
-
Well....since this morning I cannot login to the vera forum anymore.. Account suspended for 1000 years. No warnings at all. What a joke....The almighty dictator that cannot endure any criticism and breaks every forum rule himself again proves what kind of person he is. Really unbelievable his recent behaviour towards rigpapa and akbooer !! Well I don't bother at all. Seeing the lack of progress in Ezlo controllers these will not be part of my (future) home automation system.
@toggledbits: I liked your reactions towards the dictator (probably the reason he suspended me) and I really fully behind you !!
@akbooer: ridiculous that the dictator calls you a thief (you stole away "his"customers). He'\s very good in chasing them all away himself.I use Vera controllers for almost 8 years now. Honestly I'm quite happy with how they function right now. Thanks to the great research and tips of @rafale77 and switching all my scenes to the magnificent Reactor plugin it is now working (although with on average 1 luup reload per day). My setup is quite complex and next to a lot of zwave devices I also use the plugins for e.g. Hue, Sonos, Netatmo, Milight, RFXcom, smartmeter, Datamine2. For short term I will consider decoupling my Veras from the Vera servers and/or start using Openluup. First dig in to this a little more, I already noticed this forum is very informative about all the options.
I think much more members are banned now from the vera forum. Because if they ban me for liking the posts of rigpapa.... well I was not the only one.
@toggledbits: are you still allowed by the almighty dictator? -
Welcome to the group! Seems like most of the plugins you use are authored by folks here, so support should be fine. As you mention, good alternative paths forward are also available.

Hmm interesting, this is becoming a welcome to new members thread... So welcome!
There is so much more I have to say about the spectacle on the other side but I will refrain to not bore anyone since most of it will be just stating the obvious.
-
I'm still not excluded, but I think it's a matter of time until he sees the same profile picture.
I was hoping to be able to test the eZLO plus some more, but given the temperature, i'd rather stay with the "Rafael group".
Utterly flabberghasting!
Edit: And there, i'm out too. Should we count how many eZLO plus beta testers he threw out? I have one.
-
Wait... is he... talking about these forums in his own thread? Another rule violation? And with a picture?

An embarrassing ad from the "competition"
Had to share this ad that showed up in my news feed today for ezlo which apparently used to be Vera. When I saw the preview, I was seriously confused. They’re proud of the fact that it takes almost two seconds for a light to come on! It’s been a while since I used a z-wave or zigbee bulb, so maybe...
interesting... I just discovered this.
Not quite sure what part of this is more impressive:
The sheer dishonesty of test environment comparing the systems which I didn't know about until I read that thread or how shamelessly ridiculous and ignorant the ad is since speed was unique problem of the z-wave network management of the vera... yep no other platforms have this kind of problems so speed is definitely not a relevant factor anymore. -
By some chance of accident i’m not just Vera user but my company is also a Vera Dealer
just started off before the pandemic and didnt knew about ezlo controllers and the “monkey” if somebody needs Edge, Plus or Secure brand new let me know i will sell them at cost price plus shipping P.S. Its EU frequency
-
@perh Yes, I have an Ezlo Plus too and I actually like it so far. Still a lot to develop before it’s ready for sale and accomplish a bit more advanced automations, and I’d like to see and participate in the progress, but not very motivating when my forum account got suspended.
For what reason? “Forum rules”.
No further explanation or warning! -
I was just thinking, these forums remind me of my earliest days working in startups, when you showed up for an interview and the furniture was clearly from a local thrift shop, the coffee station was a folding table or plywood over two saw horses, and your interview was conducted with all parties in jeans and a t-shirt. In those days, the focus was strictly on the work and bringing something exciting into the market. People of every history and skill were brought together. The CEO worked right next to you and could be seen cleaning the office's only toilet on a Friday night before he went home. And he was there on Saturday, and on Sunday, because we only worked on days ending in "y".
These forums are a refuge. It's a place where technical discussion can lead over corporate policy and the pressure to sanitize and control the view. It's a place where we can take a wide view of the HA market, and not be beholden to one product. We can share success and failure with, and our adulation or bewilderment for, any product in the space. We talk about bugs and needs and challenges. We get work done. We get work done for each other.
This is shaping up to be a really fun community, and I'm excited to be involved. The direction is forward. Onward!

Bravo! Well said.
-
Well, this probably won't be the last time that someone from there joins us here, but, for the time being, I think it's time to move on.
We have a critical mass of really constructive contributors here, and we should certainly be doing what @toggledbits suggests:
- "a place where technical discussion can lead over corporate policy "
- "take a wide view of the HA market, and not be beholden to one product"
- "We get work done. We get work done for each other."
"Make it so!"
