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?

@tunnus said in http relay activate with username and password authentication:

@destination what if you just try that curl command from the command line (without os.execute)? Just to narrow down what is working and what's not.

No luck

@toggledbits said in http relay activate with username and password authentication:

os.execute( "curl -o - --user admin:a1234567 'http://192.168.1.111/cgi-bin/accessControl.cgi?action=openDoor&channel=1&UserID=101&Type=Remote'")

Thanks for reply but both are not working.

Hi to all,
I am user of vera controller. I have a dahua door intercom with relay. Relay activates with username and password authentication. I can activate the relay http://admin:a1234567@192.168.1.111/cgi-bin/accessControl.cgi?action=openDoor&channel=1&UserID=101&Type=Remote

As you can see intercom username admin and password is a1234567 I build a scene with luup code luup.inet.wget( "http://admin:a1234567@192.168.1.111/cgi-bin/accessControl.cgi?action=openDoor&channel=1&UserID=101&Type=Remote" ) But can not activate relay. Is there any idea?

@tunnus said in Vera Secure usage without mios:

@destination A bit late now, but you haven't heard about decoupling? No need for Vera/Ezlo servers...

I haven't heard about decoupling, Thank you, i will search about it.

Thank you.

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?

Matther is not how to decompress .tgz file. How to restore with ssh? I hope @rafale77 or @toggledbits or another experienced user read here and teach us.

There is nothing at /tmp/backup_cmh_dir. But I already have ha-gateway-backup_XXXXXXXX_1.7.XXXX_2020-09-25.tgzbackup file. The vera restore page is not work also other interfaces too. What sould I do to restore the tgz backup file from ssh? How can I do that?

@rafale77 said in Recover an ‘assumed bricked’ Vera Secure:

The error from your screenshot is pretty explicit... You are missing the libjson library for some reason. It looks like your firmware image was incomplete and was missing a lot of stuff.

run

opkg update
opkg install libjson

You likely will have other errors and will have to complete installation of dependencies.

Thanks @rafale77. Thats solve curl :(7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 3480: Connection refused error but aftre I noticed that when trying upgrade the firmware manually I see that

cp -af PK_AccessPoint HW_Key HW_Key2 zwave_locale cmh.conf servers.conf users.conf services.conf user_data.json.lzo /etc/cmh/
cp: can't stat 'HW_Key': No such file or directory
cp: can't stat 'HW_Key2': No such file or directory
cp: can't stat 'zwave_locale': No such file or directory
cp: can't stat 'users.conf': No such file or directory
cp: can't stat 'services.conf': No such file or directory

errors at the very long upgrating scripts. It seems installing new bin file is hardware based at vera secure, maybe i need HW_Key and HW_Key2 files

And here extra screenshots.

Can you comment for me ?

Here is the result.

Thank you @toggledbits . I will try your advice tomorrow and see the result.

I will ask support tomorrow I hope I get a positive feedback.

@rafale77 and @toggledbits ,thanks both of you for this wonderful informations. What should I get when returning this nvram get serial_no code? I already have another (new unit) tried that code but no return any output. Maybe tomorrow I will need to ask support for that file

Thanks @rafale77. After using that tool, i still have the warning at the firmware upgrade page.

cat: can't open "etc/cmh/PK_AccessPoint' No such file or directory cat: can't open "etc/cmh/PK_AccessPoint' No such file or directory. Manually upgrade the firmware to the latest release. 

Do you have any idea about that warning?

Is it means you use vera3_recovery_tool for recovery not TFTP? If it is yes, vera3_recovery_tool does not works at vera secure for me.

@rafale77 said in Recover an ‘assumed bricked’ Vera Secure:

Yup! These are the two known methods to write the flash memory of an embedded device (TFTP and TTY). I don’t have a vera secure and have only recovered vera plus and vera edge through TFTP. Sorry can’t help with the TTY USB as have taken down my veras.

Hello @rafale77 , I have G550-35-1.7.4061.bin, mt7621s_Luup_ui7-1.7.5187-en-mios.squashfs and newmios-hooks.sh files. Can you tell me how can I use these files for recovery? There is no a clear tutorial about it. Is it possible to tell us how can you recover your vera plus with TFTP ? I want to apply the same stages to my vera secure. Thanks.
