    • Power outage and all the Vera devices were moved to room MiOS-xxxxx. How to fix?

      A

      "Verabridge has a CloneRooms variable which should be set to true to force all bridged devices to be in the same rooms as on the remote Vera. Devices which are in "No Room" remotely, are placed in the appropriately named "MiOS..." room which corresponds to the remote machine name."

      Noting the above: OpenLuup has moved all the remote Vera devices from the correct rooms (where they have resided for years) to the MiOS-xxxxx room. I think it was caused by a power outage and it may have been some problem with the Vera and openLuup RasPi subsequently rebooting at different times (possibly).

      The CloneRooms variable is set to true. Did a couple of openLuup restarts but the remote Vera devices stayed in the MiOS-xxxxx room. Note that on the Vera all devices are still in their correct rooms that are mirrored in openLuup. They are not in "No room" on the Vera.

      Any idea on how to get the all remote Vera devices out of the MiOS-xxxxx room and back to their correct rooms in openLuup?

      This morning following a micro power cut, I have a problem with Vera Bridge.
      After a GetVeraFiles I have this message:

      162: VeraBridge: [string "openLuup / L_VeraBridge.lua"]: 771: attempt to index upvalue 'BuildVersion' (a nil value)

      Trying to bridge openLuup with another openLuup using Verabridge and getting no Vera. Is this the correct way of linking the two?

    • How can I remove old devices that are no longer in VERA

      H

      I have read this someone before but I cannot find the answer again. I have several devices and scenes in Vera which have been deleted so now the issue is to identify which ones they are in openluup ALTUI and remove them. I thought there was a process where you would delete the bridge and then add it again but I cant remember. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
      Thanks

    • Get Vera files throwing errors

      R

      Hello,
      Had a RPI laying around and saw the cheap razberry board so picked one up last week. Am trying to set up ALTUI and connect to my Vera Plus. Of the 80 or so devices it pulled in from my Vera, only about 14 look like they are functional. When I run the GetVeraFiles from the VeraBridge actions menu, I see a bunch of 503 errors in the log. If I open the URL that it is erroring on in the browser, it usually returns a valid image or page.

      Is there a way to attach logs to messages or is it acceptable to just paste in the entire thing as text? Let me know what info you need to see to point me in the right direction.

      Thanks,
      Roger

    • Instant status

      S

      Since Vera support sucks and I have this intermittent problem. Several devices which were included successfully and had always have instant status (updating vera directly when pressed locally) stop working every now and then. Vera support has 1 solution: exclude & include. And yes this works. But then after a while it starts all over and eventually I end up with a regular exclude include session which is unacceptable. Currently I am somewhere a around device number 1600 (no joke!).

      Vera tells me they can set and association to 1 (lifeline) to try.

      Is there any feasible solution which is stable to keep this working? Where to start? I only have Vera as zwave bridge...

        Yes, but you need to change the bridge’s RemotePort Variable from /port_3480 to :3480.

        You also need a really good reason to bridge two openLuup instances, so I’m interest in what that might be!

            Ok - may have misunderstood ; )

            New pi/openluup/zway is set up and has replaced vera. My central openLuup which used to bridge to the old vera is now wanting to connect to the new setup ...

              Then I guess the question is, what not use the openLuup on the pi as your central openLuup?

                Ah, no, that would be me, and it's an ongoing situation...

                1. You have installed the Zwave.me server software on a RPi with UZB, or on a Razberry?
                2. You have also installed (another) openLuup instance on that same machine?
                3. You have a 'central' openLuup instance somewhere(else) already?
                4. You want to link that central openLuup to Zwave.me server?
                5. You installed the ZWay plugin in one or other of your openLuups ...?

                YES or NO to the above list, plus any more explanatory notes, might help me to unpick this. Thanks!

                  For peace of mind regarding backups (taking physical copies) we have a 'central' openLuup with three verabridges. One of these veras is now being replaced with pi + UZB + zwave.me server + openLuup + Zway plugin.

                    Ohh and why not remove the openLuup on the pi and instead put the z-way bridge on the central openLuup?

                        you can setup your z-way bridge on the central openLuup exactly like the one you have on the Pi. That should also remove some latency since your are taking out a communication layer. Nothing should prevent you from doing that. In fact that's how I transitioned from one controller to the other. Your pi should therefore just be running z-way.
                        Actually at the end I even move z-way to the same machine as the central openLuup making my equivalent of the rPi just a UZB and zigbee host sending its data to the controllers at the central machine using ser2net/socat.

                          What @rafale77 said.

                          I regularly run a Razberry accessed from a remote openLuup.

                            Had a slight hiccup yesterday - 'end kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init'. Have reinstalled and back up to speed. Just would like to confirm - when I had zway bridge installed previously I seem to remember the bridge using device numbers in the 10000 range. One of the verabridges in 'openLuup central' also uses this range - should I change the parameter in verabridge to another range before I install zway bridge?

                              No, absolutely not. This variable looks after itself. The new ZWay bridge will spot the presence of the existing VeraBridge(s) and allocate a block of device numbers which does not conflict. With three VeraBridges, the next free block should be in the 40000 range.
