Hi to all, I have a bricked vera secure that is replaced with new one. Old vera secure serial numbers are deleted from vera servers so I cannot use it. Vera secure's are orginally Sercomm's NA502 model devices. Recently I install openwrt to the old vera secure unit without problem. Is there any way to use it any automation system with internal z-wave. I install domoticz but I cannot setup internal z-wave unit, it only accept usb zwave radios. Is there any ideas?

Hi
I’m looking to rework some code I found online so I can use it on Vera, and while I’ve managed to translate / convert a number of things, I’ve got stuck on a few things it does, around encryption/decryption etc.
All the original Lua code is here - > (https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthread.php?tid=232&pid=16580#pid16580 )
Plus there looks to be a python version too here - > (https://github.com/florianholzapfel/panasonic-viera/issues/9#issuecomment-476919658)
Here’s an extract of the code where AES 128 CBC is required?
function encrypt_soap_payload(data, key, hmac_key, iv) payload = '000000000000' n = #data payload = payload .. string.char(bit.band(bit.rshift(n, 24), 0xFF)) payload = payload .. string.char(bit.band(bit.rshift(n, 16), 0xFF)) payload = payload .. string.char(bit.band(bit.rshift(n, 8), 0xFF)) payload = payload .. string.char(bit.band(n, 0xFF)) payload = payload .. data aes_cbc, err = aes:new(key, nil, aes.cipher(128, 'cbc'), { iv = iv }, nil, 1) ciphertext = aes_cbc:encrypt(payload) sig = encdec.hmacsha256(ciphertext, hmac_key, true) encrypted_payload = encdec.base64enc(ciphertext .. sig) return encrypted_payload end function decrypt_soap_payload(data, key, hmac_key, iv) aes_cbc, err = aes:new(key, nil, aes.cipher(128, 'cbc'), { iv = iv }, nil, 0) decrypted = aes_cbc:decrypt(encdec.base64dec(data)) decrypted = string.gsub(string.sub(lmcore.strtohex(decrypted), 33), '%x%x', function(value) return string.char(tonumber(value, 16)) end) return decrypted endI can get to the point where I can create the parameters for the payload encrypt request (example below), it’s just the encryption/decryption I cant do..
data="1234" key="\\S„ßÍ}/Ìa5!" hmac_key="¹jz¹2¸F\r}òcžÎ„ 臧.ª˜¹=¤µæŸ" iv=" {¬£áæ‚2žâ3ÐÞË€ú "I’ve found this aes.lua (https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-string/blob/master/lib/resty/aes.lua ) module online, but that requires loads of others modules too, most notably ffi.lua. Which I’d ideally like to avoid.
I also came across this aes128.lua (https://github.com/somesocks/lua-lockbox/blob/master/lockbox/cipher/aes128.lua ) but i’m not sure how that handles all the other parameters e.g specify the cbc aspect etc.
Finally there’s this aes256ecb.lua script (https://github.com/idiomic/Lua_AES/blob/master/AES.lua) , could that be converted to aes 128 cbc and then used in the above?
Any help/advice on this would be appreciated..

Greetings,
I’m researching a migration from Vera+ to Hubitat C7 and want to know if anyone has successfully connected the Hubitat to the “HA Bridge” for local Alexia calls.
The HA Bridge does not callout Hubitat natively from what I see.Thanks for your assistance.

Hello,
Looking to all the dev's and tinkerers on this community for ideas on how to implement a solution to my problem. Kind of a long intro, sorry.Problem statement:
I have a geothermal heat pump that has a loop that is slightly undersized. During the cold weather months in the Pacific Northwest (one or two months of the year), the loop can get below 32 degrees. If it goes on for a few days, it can generate significant frost heaving in my yard and under the flagstone deck, Actually fixing the issue is cost prohibitive.Current mitigation:
I have DS18B20 tied into Home Assistant and monitoring the temp of the fluid coming out of the loop and if it drops below 35 degrees, MSR triggers a Fibaro Implant to add a resister into the external temp circuit and fool the Venstar to think the outside temp is below 32 degrees and issue a Heat Pump lockout and switch to AUX heat. While this is working fine and the AUX heat is only coming on once or twice a day, I would like to simplify the setup so it runs on something other than HA and MSR. I think they are overkill for my issue. Also want this to be independent of anything else in the house so it can stay behind if I am not around to maintain.I only have two inputs and one output:
Inputs: Loop temp, Furnace running
Outputs: Switch relay to drop resistance to external thermostat connection on thermostat.
Logic is super simple:
If temp is below 36 degrees and furnace is running, turn on relay
If furnace stops, turn off relay.
I am sure even I can figure that out on Python.Trying to determine the best platform for a set it and forget it black box that works with as close to zero maintenance as possible.
Options I have thought of are:
Pi zero with a GPIO controlled relay ESPHome (Not very knowledgeable about that platform, but willing to explore) Arduino Anything anyone else suggestsAny ideas are appreciated.

Hi all
Having some time off i’ve been able to invest a chunk in creating some plug-ins for Vera/OpenLuup, and will do what I can to post them in GitHub and add links on the Vera Community and here, for anyone who is interested.
But, being knew to any of this, I wanted to ask for any guidance on how and when I should share stuff ? How best do I share it ? Am I liable for anything I share? Is GitHub the best place ? What licenses should I associate with them ?
The latter is a strange one, as I don’t see how I can have any claim over the content/code itself, as I’ve learnt and leveraged so much from others..
To get the ball rolling I posted this on the ezlo/Vera site..

Hey guys,
I just registered here in the forum and honestly… I’m new to the whole topic. I‘m a web developer, so I‘ve quite a bit experience with java, js, sql and so on. But that may not help a lot in this new field.
I‘m looking forward to develop my own smart home device and I‘m looking for starting point. In General the specs are like:
The device should work with WiFi, I want to integrate it into my network I want to write an own app to control it, it may find the device in my network I want the device to be offline usable, if possible (without internet connection) I want the device to broadcast information in my network like „water is empty“, so I can use push messaging in the App it should be ready to as well work with Alexa or Apple Home Kit or Google Assistant as I Plan to develop a skill for them.Can someone provide me with some information I could start with? Like - are there microcontrollers I could go with or is it to complex and I need a raspy? Which frameworks / languages / libs could I use? I know how to do the things on the app side but not on the device side.

Vainly trying to get to the bottom of the 10 - 15 second delay for TTS with the Alexa plugin (still) anyone have a list of the possible Alexa hosts? Just wonder if the one I have (layla.amazon.co.uk) could just be slow.
Any thoughts?

Hello. First, excuse my english, please. I bought a Vera Edge looking for some way to make a digital ambient thermostat that I could manage remotely without a phone home from the device side. I am very disappointed with that device because all the "official" help of the brand goes in the way of to sign in an account and work with their cloud. I have some computer, network and linux knowledge but all my tests with the hub and a Qubino Flush 1D Relay has been unsuccessful. I connected both and I got to make some basic functions but I see myself very far to get my target. This is my last try to get something before I log in an account in getvera.com and look if I can make some progress in my project following that way.
Can somebody tell me some place where I can learn the basic concepts of this system? Guides, books, videos... Whatever it can help me in my project.
Thank you.

Node-Red on my Linux Debian box seems to be having issues now. It keeps saying repeatedly "Lost connection to server, reconnecting..." in the web browser.
I recently updated nodejs for MSR, I wonder if that might be related:
"Bump recommended nodejs version to 16.13.0; versions 14 and 15 will continue to be supported through March 31, 2022"
Nodejs version = v16.13.1
I have tried updating Node-Red that is now version v2.1.4
I also updated npm to version v8.2.0
I am not sure how or where to look at the log file for node red?
This is the contents of the nodered.service file in this directory:

Hi @ll, last days I migrated my last zwave device from Vera to zwave js in homeassistant. Out of 150 devices 1 did not go well initially but reinterviewing did it directly. Most work was to find the ex and inclusion procedure, 3 times, click, clack, whatever. I must admit that Vera is Lighting fast!!!!! With only 3 devices left, those were my under the floor switches I had to do last.
Now I am totally gone from Vera, altui, luup, etc. There's nothing more left for me on this forum. And since it was one of my "routine sites" reading I will save a few minutes a day skipping it.
I thank you all for all the kind help, warm words and laughter about the ezlo flop :-).
I hooe you all will be safe and healthy and whish you all the best!
I will stay on the homeassistant forum.
Goodbye!

Morning all. Hope all are well. Been a bit of a trying time here, but nothing we can't deal with....
.....apart from this!My coffee grinder went punk yesterday (wasn't even being used) and took out the main breakers. Once it was isolated I got everything back on line, except on TKB smart plug which was in the same double socket as the grinder.
OpenLuup claims it's failed. Z-wave server can't see it but it responds to the button pushes physically as I'd expect. (i.e. the socket turns on and off, and the LED flashes to indicate it's in inclusion / exclusion mode)
My plan is to see if I can exclude it then re-include it in z-wave server. If that doesn't work then I'll bin it, but if it does work can I then re-number it to match the original device ID and not have to trawl through my reactors? Any chance?

Some of you may know that I took at shot at building an alternate geofencing solution for Vera. The core of it was system agnostic, using the OwnTracks application and AWS lambdas to track devices and keep a central data, then disseminate that to the Vera via a websocket-based plugin. It worked with other apps as well, including Tasker and GPSLogger, but of the dozen people that were testing it, most used OwnTracks.
A lot was learned in the process, not the least of which is that the success of any such solution is highly dependent on the phone and its settings. Phone manufacturers love to set things up for the longest battery life, of course, but that's usually very anti-geofencing behavior. In the case of at least one brand, it was unusable and the settings could not be modified. It was also cost-prohibitive to maintain on Amazon, as AWS grabs a dime here and a dollar there and before you know it, it added $100/month to my AWS bill, which my wife deducted from my Scotch budget. Unacceptable.
But it's quite reasonable to use OwnTracks to a local endpoint, and I could pretty easily replicate the functionality as a local application, or maybe even as an additional endpoint built into MSR's API (still separate port and process, but in the package).
So the question really is... would you do it, or would you be too concerned about the security risks associated (e.g., dynamic DNS and NAT mapping in the firewall necessary for the phone to contact the service when not on LAN)?

Hello!
I want to trigger an event (like switching on a smart Zigbee power plug) when a regular light switch (that switches regular non-smart LED light bulbs) is flipped. Is there something I can put behind a light switch to achieve this? Or something to splice in between the switch and the light bulbs? A good option would also be Hue compatible.
Thank you!

Hi,
Is anyone aware of any way in which Bluetooth devices can be connected and controlled via a home automation controller, such as Vera / openluup (even NodeRed, HASS) etc ?
I recall Bluetooth was an original ‘feature’ on the Veraplus but that soon died a death, and was never heard of again.
What, if anything are people doing with Bluetooth ?

Hi,
I have a lua/luup piece of code that checks, if any motion sensors have been tripped within the last 20 mins, and if not then to let me know.
I then look at pinging TVs to see if they are on, in order to help rule out if someone’s just sitting still, and then I look at bluetooth sensors (RoomMe) and also Wi-Fi devices (UniFi) to help identify specific people’s active devices.
I know there’s no perfect solution, but I was wondering what are other people using ?

Considering how long I’ve been using HA systems, where I was a relatively early adopter of z-wave, I’ve never really explored the Z-Wave Classes and Commands.
Don’t get me wrong I understand (well at least I think I do) the overall objective and the design of the classes and the command, but my exposure to it has always been hidden behind a software/application layer.. No bad thing your might say, but the more I got to know the Lua language , the more I wanted to know more about the Z-wave Classes and Command - and how I could interact with them a little more directly.
FYI - I’m still very much in the learning phase, and welcome any insight/advice from those more experienced than me.
For this particular ‘How To’, I’m going to start off with a link to all the recorded z-wave classes and commands, this is a great place to see the length and breadth of what z-wave supports.
https://www.silabs.com/documents/login/miscellaneous/SDS13548-List-of-defined-Z-Wave-Command-Classes.xlsxMy first objective is to see if I can request a battery report from a device.. (Make sure your device support this class)
To do that I need to look up the Commands_Class for Battery, and note down it’s associated value, which in this case is 0x80
COMMAND_CLASS_BATTERY 0x80 Management ActiveAfter that, I then need to get the value associated with the specific command I want to send, which in this case is the Battery Get one from the following list..
BATTERY_GET 0x02 controlling supporting BATTERY_REPORT 0x03 supporting controlling BATTERY_HEALTH_GET 0x04 controlling supporting BATTERY_HEALTH_REPORT 0x05 supporting controllingThose two looks up have now provided me with the following two item values …
Battery Command Class = 0x80 BATTERY_HEALTH_GET Command = 0x04Next I need to send them to my Vera/Z-wave controller , specifying the z-wave ‘node’ I want to target (make sure it is the node number (alt.I’d, NOT the Device No.) , which in this case is node 3 (device no. 64) - using a command like the following....
luup.call_action('urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1','SendData',{Node='3',Data='0x80 0x04'},1)Or externally..
http://192.168.1.10/port_3480/data_request?id=action&DeviceNum=1&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1&action=SendData&Node=3&Data=0x80-0x04Any/all feedback welcome..

So I live out in a rural area and there are no good internet providers besides Hughesnet, or using a mobile hotspot. My question is can you have a home network witha hub nut no wifi? I mainly would just want a few smart light switches, maybe a RGB Phillips HUE light here and there, and maybe even a camarea to watch my driveway and send me alerts when someone is there (while I'm there obviously) because we can't see our driveway from our living room. Was just curious to see if this would be possible or not. Our Verizon mobile hotspot works great while we are able to monitor it but sometimes it randomly shuts off even when it is plugged in. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

A while back the z-wave module on my veraplus stopped working and as it couldnt be fixed, I bought an external usb z-wave dongle UZB1 (which I plugged in and setup on ‘port’ /dev/ttyACM0 ) which made it operational again, and I’ve been using it again since.
Recently I picked up a new (well 2nd hand) VeraPlus unit and tried to do a full system/zwave network restore from the original one, but it didn’t work.
The restore looked like it worked fine, as it brought everything over, but when nothing worked, I checked the z-wave ‘port’ settings on the new unit, and it too had been set to use an external usb (/dev/ttyACM0) which it obviously doesn’t have , but when I changed it back to the onboard zwave module (/dev/ttyS0) all the z-wave devices disappeared.
To fix this, it sounds like I need to do a controller shift to get the details off the UZB1 key and onto the zwave chip on the veraplus board ?
However not having done one before I’m not sure if the process is - any ideas ?
Alexa TTS is sloooooooow
-
Morning, gurus. Hope all is well.
Recently some of my voice activated actions have felt very laggy. Digging into it reveals that it's not the action that's slow, but the response from Alexa, To test I ran a simple speak from Reactor by pressing the 'play' button and there's a 10+ second lag between the command being queued and the voice confirmation in Alexa.
While this is not critical in terms of operation it is making some of my activities with multiple voice feedbacks take enough time to think stuff is broken
Quick log snippet (which I hope is enough shows the lag:

If you haven't changed anything in your setup, I am guessing it is some random lag in the cloud? I don't believe you want me to get on my soap box and recommend my local approach...

Nope, that's good :). That was my feeling as well, but to be clear this is NOT Alexa executing commands, that's still real quick. This is only TTS via Alexa. Which makes it a little more confusing.
However, does Google home do local TTS as well?
C
-
Google?? Nahh nothing will really be local with Google. It goes against their personal data collection business model. Our data on their cloud is their primary source of revenue. My approach to TTS has been to use the "say" command built in macOS from my desktop and sends it to my sonos speakers. I run a little node.js server which offers an http API which openLuup uses as I wrote a tiny function in the startup lua. It works without the hands (I mean the internet) and is instantaneous.

-
Sure someone had done some analysis. Maybe it was Homekit.....
C
-
@toggledbits , any chance at all that MSR could one day gain a TTS-like facility on board? At least to the point that MP3 files could be stored in /storage/tts awaiting a "Play" command of some sort. I'm sure doing literal TTS locally is too big an ask, but gosh... what wouldn't we all give to gain at least some freedom from the cloud-based likes of Azure, Alexa, etc.
-
Actually I somewhat did this for myself watching traffic going through my local DNS (pihole) and firewall. I started doing this because of the recent QNAP ransomware attacks leading me to deploy more drastic DPI and IPS reporting. Boy, Android is nasty... The amount of data and frequency of calling home is amazing. I ended taking down wifi on my oven (which runs android) and my one android tablet (alexa/echo) which was the most unreliable piece of hardware I had. I also notice a similar behavior on iOS devices but unlike Android, you could disable it. Most of the data is about location on iOS. They data packets are much smaller and are much less frequent. Disabling them means disabling some services. Apple uses your data for relative localization: devices scan for one another MAC addresses over BT and wifi and they keep a registry of it on their cloud. This way based on triangulation of what devices one given device sees, it is able to better estimate its location even without GPS as it uses the other device's GPS. I think Google does the same but more frequently and collects a lot more data while preventing you from disabling. Honestly the data was too much for me to figure out what it was for Android.
I also have relatives who work in marketing companies who freaked me out when they told me what data they have access to from Google... Just piecing things together and is a bit of a leap since I don't have any Google home device. I had some nest ones though which moved to very restrictive cloud only API when they got bought by Google and lead me to get rid of them.Edit: Someone in Ireland has done a much deeper study on the topic than I:
Android sends 20x more data to Google than iOS sends to Apple, study says
Google contests the estimate, saying it's based on flawed methodology.
The only thing I would add is that I think the author missed a setting in iOS which I found to completely disable all data sending. Also note the attitude of Google towards the whole thing is pretty comical but at the same time it is all very understandable since it is their business model to collect and sell data since they do not sell their OS and don't make a profit on the devices they sell. They make profit on their true products... our data.
Now Amazon is (was?) different. They are actually selling products and making a profit from them, not so much from the smart devices but more from the echo/eco system to get us to shop on their sites. It is a different business model. How long before it changes? I don't know. At least the example of how they handled the Philips hue API drastically from Google is a sign that they are not as laser focused on forcing a cloud approach.

And as anticipated, my system remains completely silent. I did update the .SH file just now to v.0.18, but no change.

luup.call_action("urn:bochicchio-com:serviceId:VeraAlexa1","RunCommand",{Command="-e textcommand:'tune in wwoz' -d 'Living Room'"}, 366)Log contained the following, and I'm wondering why, for starters, most (not all) of my Echo devices are listed twice? why the response from .SH is ""? why the
setVar/Devicesline references a device other thanLiving Room? whyLatestResponseappears empty? etc.:08 05/29/21 9:40:44.577 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest device: 0 service:

Hmmm, I have debug set to one and my log looks nothing like that....
This is the LuaUPnP.log yes?

The Ex-Vera abuser know as CatmanV2.....

@catmanv2 said in Alexa TTS is sloooooooow:
This is the LuaUPnP.log yes?
Yes. I get a very verbose response set like that in Vera's LuaUPnP Log every time I attempt one of the Lua commands I use for testing. Some worked with previous revisions, others not, but right now ... literally nothing works for me.
I'm wondering if maybe I have too many Alexa devices defined in my account... or something else unique to "me" that's causing VeraAlexa to choke.
Whenever I update any component of the VeraAlexa plug-in (whether through WinSCP or by dragging files into App > Develop), I always set "Configured" back to
0and restart Vera, so things have a chance to settle. The cookie is safely there, and "Configured" always sets to1without any trouble.It's as if the plug-in wants to work, but simply doesn't, for me.
-
@librasun are you on Vera or OpenLuup?
What's in your .alexa.devicelist.all? If you've got duplicate entries it's probably worth deleting it and letting it re-create.
I've just realised my 'new' Echo is not listed, but it's in the guess bedroom so doesn't get used.

To answer your question, I inspected the contents of my .alexa.devicelist.json file (I see no 'all' file like you mentioned), and found -- after putting it through a JSON Pretty Print converter and filtering for accountName -- just a single copy of each device on my account.
Egads, though, the file is 931 lines long, lol!
If you're suggesting I delete that file, I'm game, but am generally loath to take stabs in the dark like that until I have more data.
-
AFAIK you should have:
.alexa.devicelist.txt
.alexa.devicelist.all
.alexa.cookie
.alexa.devicelist.jsonI think the lack of some or more of these could be part of your issue. Are you on Vera still? I forget
Totally get what you mean about deleting stuff. I tend to rename ;). My understanding is they should be created automagically.
