Advanced Network Setup

2013-02-21T08:13:13Z

Knewmania: Removed SPAM entry

'''HOWTO Tackle advanced network setups'''

== Install DYNDNS (Dynamic DNS) ==

Login to vera using telnet or ssh then 

cd /tmp
wget [http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.2/ar7/packages/ddns-scripts_1.0.0-1.2_mipsel.ipk http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.2/ar7/packages/ddns-scripts_1.0.0-1.2_mipsel.ipk]
tar xzvf ddns-scripts_1.0.0-1.2_mipsel.ipk
cd /
tar xzvf /tmp/data.tar.gz
vim /etc/config/ddns

(press 'i' (insert) to start editing, to save and quit press ''ESC'' then write '':wq'' and press ''ENTER'')

You can read about the services in /usr/lib/ddns/services

*'''Note: DynDns package is installed by default for firmware versions 1.0.616 and above'''
*'''Note: You can edit the file also from the web interface, go to: Advanced->Net&Wifi->Advanced Settings ->System->File Editor

== Vera connected directly to the internet ==

=== Open ports on Vera ===

If Vera's connected directly to the internet and you have your firewall activated you'll need to open port 80 to access Vera's UI. Go to ADVANCED->Net&Wi-Fi->Advanced configuration OpenWRT Web UI Will open. Here you need to go to: NETWORK->FIREWALL New Rule:  Accept -> press ADD Select from the upper drop-down Protocol: TCP -> press ADD Destination Ports: 80 Press SAVE Press bottom 'Apply Changes' And now you should be able to access your Vera. 

=== Protect Vera UI with User and Password ===

Right now everyone can access your Vera UI.  Go to 'Users' tab, check "Require a username and password to access Vera from within my home network." and add a Username. This will prevent unauthorized persons from having access to your Vera web site.

=== Forward ports from Vera To another IP device ===

In order to setup port forwarding go to: Setup->Advanced->Net&Wi-Fi->Advanced configuration->Network->Firewall New Rule: FORWARD -> press ADD Forward to: ''internal IP of your camera'' (i.e. 192.168.81.150) Port: ''port of your camera'' (80 is for HTTP) Also select from the upper drop down:     Protocol: TCP     Destination Ports: ''Vera external port ''(i.e. 81) Press SAVE and then 'Apply Changes' from the bottom of the page. In this scenario port forwarding is created from Vera's external IP, on port 81, to 192.168.81.150 internal IP to port 80. So [http://vera_external_ip:81/ http://vera_external_ip:81] requests will go to [http://192.168.81.150/ http://192.168.81.150] 

*Note: If you don't know your camera IP and this is dynamically allocated by Vera's DHCP, follow these steps after you note down your camera MAC Address (which should be on the bottom of the device). 
*'''Identify Camera DHCP IP''' Go to Setup->Advanced->Net&Wi-Fi->Advanced configuration->Status->DHCP Clients 

According to the MAC address you should be able to identify the IP address here. In order for the camera not to change its IP, you should also set the DHCP server to allocate the same IP every time: 

*'''Configure DHCP Server leases''' Go to Setup->Advanced->Net&Wi-Fi->Advanced configuration->Network->Hosts Complete the  "MAC Address" and the "IP Address" fields from "Static IP addresses (for DHCP)" tab with the current MAC and IP of your camera then press Add, Save Changes and Apply. 

== Vera behind another router ==

=== Forward ports to Vera ===

If you're using Vera behind your router you'll need to forward some ports to it to make it work: '''PORT 80''' : it's used for the web page viewing, you can secure access by using username and password (go to ''SETUP->USERS'': add an user and check ''"Require a username and password to access Vera from within my home network."'' then press ''SAVE'') '''PORT 23''' : telnet access, not recommended because it can't be secured, anyone can login remotely '''PORT 22''' : ssh access, it's enabled after you set a root password and then telnet access is disabled. 

If you don't know how to forward ports from your router have a look here: [http://portforward.com/ http://portforward.com/] 

=== Vera Network settings ===

Assiging a static IP to Vera: Go to SETUP->ADVANCED->Net&Wi-Fi '''= IP Address =''' How can I connect to the Internet? = STATIC Set an IP from your class ie: 192.168.81.2 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.81.1 (your router IP) DNS: 192.168.81.1 (and your provider's DNS server) 

=== Firewall ===

Since you already have other router in front of Vera, set firewall to 'No Firewall - bridge'. 

=== Lan ===

Since you have another DHCP server, set Vera's DHCP to 'disable'. 

*Note: I've noticed that your Belkin router has the same IP address as Vera's internal lan: 192.168.81.1. If you're using Vera in 'Bridge' mode you should change Vera's LAN IP to an address different from your Belkin router's IP. (i.e.: set it to 192.168.8.1)

Logs

2013-02-21T05:27:00Z

Knewmania: Added specifics on viewing logs via Web Browser

[[Category:User Instructions]]
[[Category:How To]]

'''Logging explained'''

Vera runs Linux and you can watch the logs if you want to see what's going with Vera. This can be particularly helpful for debugging.

First, you need to login to Vera using SSH. If you have a Mac or Linux PC, SSH is built-in and you can open a console and enter:

ssh [ip address of vera]

If you run Windows, get the utility Putty from here: [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Putty Download] You do not need to install it, just download the file Putty.exe and run it. In the Host Name box type in the IP address of Vera and click open.

Either way you will have a console and be prompted for a username and password. The username is: root and the password is generally the wi-fi password (or the HomeID) printed on the sticker under Vera. If you don't see the root password or need help logging in see [[Logon_Vera_SSH#Can.27t_find_the_root_password.3F|Logon # Can't find the root password?]].

Once you are logged in, type:

cd /var/log/cmh

to get to the directory with the logs. Then type:

tail -f LuaUPnP.log

and you will see the logs scroll by as you do things with Vera. Press Ctrl+C to stop watching the log. Chances are there is too much data flying by to be useful, particularly if you turn on Verbose Logging (Vera's toolbox, Advanced, Logging). So you will want to filter. You can do this by adding "| grep" followed by whatever you want to filter for. The most common use for this is that every line in the log starts with a 2 digit number indicating what type of event is being logged. The most useful log entry is 04 which shows you the status of every "job" that Vera has completed (ie turning on a light, etc.) and the status of it. To watch for the jobs type:

tail -f LuaUPnP.log | grep "^04"

and you will only see the lines that start with 04 (ie the jobs). You can add more criteria by adding \|. So, all commands (ie when you click on/off/etc.) on the dashboard start with 08. So:

tail -f LuaUPnP.log | grep "^04\|^08"

will show you when Vera got a command to do something and when Vera finished doing it. This is helpful for debugging what's going on. Following is a screen capture from putty that shows what happens when you turn on a device from the dashboard:

root@MiOS_10266:/tmp/log/cmh# tail -f LuaUPnP.log | grep "^04\|^08"
08 08/13/10 20:49:58.469 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest device: 100 service: urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1 action: SetTarget <0x11008>
08 08/13/10 20:49:58.469 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest argument DeviceNum=100 <0x11008>
08 08/13/10 20:49:58.470 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest argument serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1 <0x11008>
08 08/13/10 20:49:58.471 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest argument action=SetTarget <0x11008>
08 08/13/10 20:49:58.472 JobHandler_LuaUPnP::HandleActionRequest argument newTargetValue=1 <0x11008>
04 08/13/10 20:49:59.312 <Job ID="23" Name="ON node 20" Created="10-08-13 20:49:58" Started="10-08-13 20:49:58" Completed="10-08-13 20:49:59" Duration="0.742113000" Runtime="0.695043000" Status="Successful" LastNote="Transmit was ok" Node="20" Device="100" NodeType="ZWaveNonDimmableLight" NodeDescription="_Switching Plugin"/> <0x402>

You can see that the command came in for device #100 20:49:58.469 (meaning 469/1000's of a second). The action was "SetTarget" for the "SwitchPower" service (meaning set the power state on or off), and the newTargetValue=1 means it's coming on. You can see that Vera created a job #23 to do this, and that at 20:49:59.312 the job completed and was successful. The ZWave node id is 20.

Additionally, the logs can be accessed directly from a browser from the URL: http://vera_ip/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP

*Change the value for vera_ip to the local IP Address of your Vera unit.

# Login to https://cp.mios.com/login.php with your earlier created account.
# Go to the "My Contact Info" tab.
# Enter your emailaddress and/or your mobile phonenumber in the corresponding fields.
# Tick the boxes for the type of notifications you want to receive (email and/or text messages).
# Click the <Save my contact info" button.
# Login to your Vera's UI (either remote or locally).
# Select any device or scene you want to create a notification for by clicking the wrench icon.
# Select the Events tab of the device or scene you are editing.
# Click the "Add Event" button and make all the selections of your choice.
# Click "Back"
# Tick the box of users you want to notify.

Knewmania: Added specifics on viewing logs via Web Browser

[[Category:User_Instructions]]
[[Category:How To]]
Vera runs Linux, and stores the logs in /var/log/cmh. They are ANSI color coded, meaning you need to view them with less -R. Note that the Linux distro that comes with Vera doesn't support less -R, so you need to copy them to another computer to view them. To do this:

1. Login to Vera's console as explained here: [[Logon_Vera_SSH]].

2. Copy the logs from /var/log/cmh using scp. Windows users can use the free WinSCP utility. Note that once the logs hit 2MB they are automatically either deleted or archived on our servers if you left that option checked on Advanced, Logs.

3a. To view them on a Unix/Linux system, use less -R and the log file.

3b. To view them on a Windows PC, download this file: http://download.controlmyhouse.net/less.zip and unzip the contents into a directory, preferably under c:\ so it's easy to get to from a command prompt. Choose Start, run, and enter CMD to bring up a command prompt. Then type: cd \less (or whatever directory you put it in). Put the log files in the same directory. Before starting it you might want to click the control button in the upper left of the command prompt, choose Properties, Layout, and increase the window size to 160 wide. Then enter: ''less -R [filename]''. You may see an error and have to hit enter. This is OK. Once the log appears, the letters u and d scroll up and down, and q exits. The / key lets you search, although for some reason it doesn't always work. If you want the most full featured version of less, install cygwin, which is what less.zip came from. If you have turned verbose logging on in Vera, the logs will also contain a trace of all the ZWave data going to/from the ZWave chip. Lines starting with 41 are outgoing and color coded red, 42 is incoming and yellow.

Additionally, the logs can be accessed directly from a browser from the URL: http://vera_ip/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP

*Change the value for vera_ip to the local IP Address of your Vera unit.
