Vera PushOver notification with image
D

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?

I have an older Vera Plus controller that has been collecting dust for a little while. I know the hardware is no longer supported but I would prefer it to go to a good home vs the eWaste center. No charge, just pay for shipping and it's yours. If you are interested, let me know.

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.)

P.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.

Z-Wave.Me UZB stick version mapped to the Zwave version displayed by Vera.
A

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.

ZWay UZB version Vera version SDK version 5.39 6.09 6.82.01 6.08 6.82.00 6.07 6.81.06 6.06 6.81.05 6.05 6.81.04 6.04 6.81.03 6.03 6.81.02 5.37 6.02 6.81.01 5.36 6.02??? 6.81.00 ???? 5.33 6.02??? 6.81.00 ???? 5.32 6.01 6.81.00 5.03 6.71.03 5.02 6.71.02 5.27 BL 48059 4.61 6.71.0? 5.26 4.61 6.71.0? 5.23 4.61 6.71.01 4.6 6.71.00 5.2 4.6? 6.7?.00 5.16 4.6? 6.70.00 4.62 6.61.01 4.33 6.61.00 4.54 6.51.10 5.07 4.38 6.51.09 4.34 6.51.08 4.24 6.51.07 4.05 6.51.06 5.06 4.01 6.51.04 3.99 6.51.03 3.95 6.51.02 3.92 6.51.01 3.83 6.51.00 3.79 6.50.01 3.71 6.50.00 3.67 3.35 6.10.00 3.41 6.02.00 3.37 6.01.03 2.78

Using the vera with external usb zwave or zigbee dongle
rafale77R

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...

incalzire.png 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!

Another Vera --> Home Assistant migration question
T

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.

(Problem) Migration Z-Wave NW from Vera to UZB1 dongle
T

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??

Vera 3 with a Z-Wave.Me UZB stick
A

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?

iPhone locator or alternative.
MikeReadingtonM

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!

and the other one has:

271,4102,0

Any help is apprreciated.

[Solved] Aeotec Smart Switch 6 configuration not updating
tunnusT

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...

Why is VERA+ making calls to facebook.com?
?

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.

Can I connect a Nokia/Withings scale to Vera?
LibraSunL

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!

Help with Luup Reloads
PablaP

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?

    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

      May I be among the first to recommend Multi-System Reactor (MSR) for this purpose? Anything you could do before with Reactor and/or Scenes, you can do with MSR and so much more. Built-in SMTP support should get you well on your way right out of the box.

      It's rock solid, and from the sound of things, you're more than tech savvy enough to get MSR up and running on a suitable platform.

        Both Reactor for Vera and MSR support a variety of notification methods natively. I've become a Pushover convert, and I also do a lot of SMTP messaging, of course. The Telegram plugin by my venerable peer @therealdb also seems to be quite popular and is well-supported by both RFV and MSR.

        Author of Multi-system Reactor and Reactor, DelayLight, Switchboard, and about a dozen other plugins that run on Vera and openLuup.

          @toggledbits said in Messaging after VERA decoupling:

          I've become a Pushover convert

          I had been toying with the idea of Pushover ever since you first mentioned it. I just couldn't come up with good use cases, until today. I think the idea of MSR being able to send messages directly to my Web browser and the included Tasker plug-in won me over. (I no longer use IFTTT, due to $, but if I did...!)

          Totally fair deal paying one-time cost of $5 per platform. Installing it now on Android and will configure MSR in the AM to test it out. Thanks again for the recommendation!

          P.S. Pushover has upped the trial period from 7 to 30 days.

            @librasun as @toggledbits said (thanks for the kind words!), I'm into telegram and I love it.

            For my PC, while still working from home, I've developed a simple app staying in the system tray and showing messages via mqtt. I'm sending UDP messages from vera to my own app (similar to msr in scope, but less powerful and less generic). This app running in my Linux box is routing Messages via mqtt and a couple of adapters/clients are transforming them (I use the same message to trigger Alexa tts, LG notifications, telegram and this windows app in the tray).

            As soon as MSR has support for plugins, I'll port and release some of them, since part of this is already written with node js (even if my main app is written in c#). A friend showed me a very similar concept for home assistant.

                @sender yes, but I love to experiment things. the desktop app is actively sending notifications to my Vera system via MQTT, so I'm turning on lights (including a BusyLight outside my home office) when I'm joining a call, when it's dark and I'm working at the PC, or turn them off when it's light enough in the morning.

                  I'll check out Telegram and Pushover. Thanks for the suggestions.

                    Settled on Pushover.net as it fits my messaging alert needs perfectly. I have added to my other systems instead of e-mailing.
                    I was surprised on how many applications have direct integrations with it including Home Assistant.

                      Yep, I have been running pushover, replacing the vera mobile push notification for quite a few years. It's been rock solid. I was particularly enamored by the ability to push snapshots of my security cameras to my apple watch... To make it easy I used Home Assistant as the integration relay so openLuup (and vera before that) sent the call to home assistant which then went to pushover.

                        I’m a bit old school, I still use Prowl with my Veras - https://www.prowlapp.com/

                        Here’s some code examples on how to use it.

                        
                        function my_escape (s)
                            s = string.gsub(s, " ", "+")
                            return s
                        end
                        
                        function my_prowl (appl, event, description)
                            local prowl_url      = "https://api.prowlapp.com/publicapi/add?apikey="
                                .. "put-your-api-code-here"
                                .. "&application=" .. my_escape(appl)
                                .. "&event="         .. my_escape(event)
                                .. "&description=" .. my_escape(description)
                                .. "&priority=-1"
                                .. "&url=https://www.google.co.uk/"
                            luup.inet.wget(prowl_url)
                        end
                        
                        my_prowl ("Vera Home Controller", "Testing code", "this could any description")
                        

                        Or something all in one..

                        
                        luup.inet.wget("https://api.prowlapp.com/publicapi/add?apikey=Your-api-key-goes-here&application=Test+Event&event=Armed+Notification&description=The+DSC+alarm+system+has+been+armed&priority=1")

                          I've gotta ask, since Pushover essentially breaks their paid apps down into three "flavors" (Web browser, Android and iOS), how do they differentiate other channels like Home Assistant or IFTTT? Or do those get lumped into "Web" along with Chrome, etc.? (I assume every endpoint has to have a unique name, no matter what.)

                            I am really not sure. I am only using the iOS app as the notification target. Home Assistant just sends the notification and is not considered a channel... (Simple python http post call) I also have not used any paid tier. It's been 3 years.

                              @droy last week I changed all notification types to a Telegram BOT, it works great, fast and simple.

                                @librasun it looks like they charge the onetime fee by user consumption endpoint groups (Android, iOS, and Desktop) and not integrations or apps.

                                  That's right. I thought someone above was saying that HA was acting as an endpoint, not just a broadcast source. I was wrong.

                                    @droy I use the excellent Telegram plugin by @therealdb in OpenLuup, it should work on the Vera also.

                                        I use homeassistant with node red and telegram natively. Alternatively I use the homeassistant companion app with messaging. Both rock solidand instant.
