If you buy an IP camera from Mi Casa Verde, we will pre-configure it to work with Vera right out of the box. If you get the camera yourself, and it's a model that is 'Plug and Play' compatible with Vera (see 'Supported Cameras' below), then you should be sure the camera is configured to get an IP address automatically, and that the username is set to: '''dceadmin''' and the password is set to: '''dcepass'''. Vera will add the camera automatically and fill in the settings. (Specific info for users of [[Panasonic IP Cameras|Panasonic IP Cameras]])&nbsp; When adding a camera that is not on the supported list, see the section ''''Manually adding a camera'''' below. <br />

| The Panasonic IP cameras work well with Vera. However, for unknown reasons, the Panasonic camera will not get an IP address on your LAN until you run the Windows software supplied with it. You do not need to install the software; just insert the CD and tell the camera to get an IP address automatically (DHCP). If you buy the camera from the Mi Casa Verde web shop we do this before we ship it so the camera will work out of the box. Mac/Linux users who buy the camera elsewhere will need a Windows PC to 'activate' the camera. Set the default username/password on the camera to: dceadmin and dcepass for Vera to detect the camera automatically, or, if you use your own username/password, add the camera to Vera manually and provide Vera your username/password to access the camera.<br />

| This camera can only serve images using DirectX or Java. The workaround is complex: "using a PC you can use MPlayer to strip out a JPG image from the video stream (asf). You can then store the JPG snapshot on a PC, then run a web server and vera can then "fetch" the image from the PC instead of the camera."<br />

| This camera does not give an IP address out of the box. In order for it work, it needs to be activated using the Schlage LiNK system. Without paying for the Schlage LiNK membership, this camera cannot be used with Vera unless there's a way of forcing the activation.<br />
Update: The camera might work after a firmware update. More info here: [http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=6581.0] and here [http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=5841.15]<br />

| This camera is inexpensive, very feature rich, has very good image quality, and has night vision capabilities. However, there is no publicly accessible URL to grab a live JPG from the camera. The web interface requires an ActiveX plug-in to view the live video feed and there is a snapshot button that will deliver a JPG. Asante is reportedly making changes to their camera in the next version of the firmware that should resolve some of these issues.<br />

=== '''Manually adding a camera''' ===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Camera1.jpg|thumb|center|512px]] [[Image:Camera2.jpg|thumb|center|512px|Manually adding a camera]] <br />
<br />
In Vera's setup page click Devices, Luup plugins, Install/uninstall plugins, and click 'install' next to either the 'Generic IP Camera' plugin, or, if you see a plugin for your particular camera, such as 'Panasonic IP Camera with Pan/Tilt/Zoom' use that instead. <br />
<br />
If you have more than one camera, you can click "install another" to have multiple instances of the plugin. <br />
<br />
In most cases, IP cameras have a URL method for obtaining a SNAPSHOT or JPG image from the camera. If your camera supports this method, you can then use it with Vera and the FindVera.com service can archive these snapshots over time for security purposes. Most IP/Network cameras made in the past few years will have a JPG Snapshot mode. Some examples from Linksys are WVC54GCA, WVC200/WVC210.&nbsp; D-link, Trend-Net, and many others make similar cameras. <br />
<br />
If your camera is not a 'Plug and Play' model or not on the supported list, you need to specify the settings for the camera by going to the 'Devices' tab on Vera's setup page, adding the camera if it's not already there, and clicking the '+' icon to edit the camera's settings. <br />
<br />
You will need to specify: <br />
<br />
1. the IP address or domain name of the camera<br> 2. the URL or path to retrieve the current image from the camera as a JPEG file<br> 3. any username and password to retrieve the JPEG file <br />
<br />
The URL (your camera's manual may denote this as "path" or "snapshot address") needs to retrieve the actual JPEG file, not just an HTML page that has the JPEG file somewhere on it. For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: '''http://192.168.81.5/Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''', then put in these settings: <br />
<br />
IP Address: '''192.168.81.5'''<br> Path: '''Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''' <br />
<br />
and be sure to provide the username/password if one is needed. After you specify this information, click the red 'Save' button, and then you can see the camera by clicking the 'View Camera' option. <br />

=== '''Configuring the Panasonic IP camera to connect wirelessly to Vera''' ===<br />
<br />
The Panasonic IP Cameras have a switch on the bottom: WIRED/WIRELESS. In order to connect your camera wirelessly to Vera, you'll need to follow these steps: <br />
<br />
- set the switch to WIRED<br />
- connect your camera to Vera's LAN port using an Ethernet cable<br />
- turn the camera on, confirm Vera's LAN LED turns orange, and wait for the IP Cam LED to turn green<br />
- wait for the camera to be detected in Devices -&gt; Unassigned Device<br />
- assign the camera to a 'Room' and click 'Save'<br />
(for the camera to be detected it should have the default username/password: dceadmin/dcepass and listen on port 80)<br />
- confirm that you can see images from the camera<br />
- click on the "+" sign near your camera and note its IP address (e.g. 192.168.81.200)<br />
<br />
- connect your computer to the same network as your camera<br />
- open your web browser and type in: http://camera1_ip (in this example, http://192.168.81.200)<br />
- login with the default camera username: dceadmin and password: dcepass<br />
- go to Setup -&gt; Wireless and set SSID, Cipher and Password to Vera's wireless settings<br />
which can be found an the bottom of Vera. (default Cipher is WPA2-PSK)<br />
- click 'Save Settings'<br />
- turn the camera's bottom switch to WIRELESS and reboot your camera by cycling its power<br />
<br />
Your camera should now connect wirelessly to Vera. If you change your Vera's wireless settings you'll have first to update them on your cameras, so you won't lose connection to them. <br />
<br />
=== Example of using a Linksys WVC54GCA or WVC210 camera with Vera ===<br />
<br />
For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: http://192.168.81.5/img/snapshot.cgi, then put in these settings: <br>Domain or IP: 192.168.81.5 (or ''YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com'' if remote access is enabled)<br> Path: img/snapshot.cgi<br>A username and password must be used unless all users are allowed in the USERS section.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*If you have more than one camera, you will be using the PORT as part of the URL. If your second camera is on PORT 1024 and the IP is 192.168.81.6, you would use 192.168.81.6:1024 or YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com:1024<br />

== '''VistaCam''' ==<br />
<br />
VistaCam by Mi Casa Verde is a compact Indoor IP camera that supports both wired and wireless installation. Mi Casa Verde Technical Support Team pre-provisions each VistaCam so it works right out of the box with Vera! Set-up doesn’t get any easier. Whether for Home, Business, Facility surveillance, or just for fun, the VistaCam easy to install and has all the features users need at an affordable price!<br> <br />
<br />
There are 2 basic ways to setup the VistaCam to work with Vera in wireless mode. Here is what you need to do:<br> '''A''') if you have a main router in the house and Vera and your computer are connected to it (we presume that Vera has been already configured)<br> 1) connect the vista Cam to the same router;<br> 2) on Vera install the plugin for generic IP cameras from the MiOS Marketplace zone on the dashboard 3) after a minute or so Vera will auto detect the camera and you should be able to see an image when you press the little wrench key from the camera's icon on the dashboard;<br> 4) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br> 5) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br> 6) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save; <br />
<br />
Note: The password should be listed as ''''Shared Key' '''under the 'Security' section. <br> 7) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br> 8) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br> <br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
'''B''') if by any reason you can't see the camera after you connect it to your main router here is what you need to do (we presume that Vera has been already configured and the plugin for the camera has been installed):<br> 1) go to Advanced &gt; Net &amp; WiFi tab and select the '''Through another gateway on my network. MiOS is a switch''' option and then ''Save and apply'' from the bottom of that page;<br> 2) connect your camera to the '''ETH2 port''' on Vera(now Vera should "see" the camera and you should be able to see pictures);<br> 3) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br> 4) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br> 5) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save; <br />
<br />
Note: The password should be listed as ''''Shared Key' '''under the 'Security' section. <br> 6) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br> 7) go to the Dashboard and check if you receive images from the camera.<br></div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/IP_CamerasIP Cameras2011-08-26T14:55:50Z<p>Silviu.parvana: /* Cameras that work */</p>

If you buy an IP camera from Mi Casa Verde, we will pre-configure it to work with Vera right out of the box. If you get the camera yourself, and it's a model that is 'Plug and Play' compatible with Vera (see 'Supported Cameras' below), then you should be sure the camera is configured to get an IP address automatically, and that the username is set to: '''dceadmin''' and the password is set to: '''dcepass'''. Vera will add the camera automatically and fill in the settings. (Specific info for users of [[Panasonic IP Cameras|Panasonic IP Cameras]])&nbsp; When adding a camera that is not on the supported list, see the section ''''Manually adding a camera'''' below. <br />

| The Panasonic IP cameras work well with Vera. However, for unknown reasons, the Panasonic camera will not get an IP address on your LAN until you run the Windows software supplied with it. You do not need to install the software; just insert the CD and tell the camera to get an IP address automatically (DHCP). If you buy the camera from the Mi Casa Verde web shop we do this before we ship it so the camera will work out of the box. Mac/Linux users who buy the camera elsewhere will need a Windows PC to 'activate' the camera. Set the default username/password on the camera to: dceadmin and dcepass for Vera to detect the camera automatically, or, if you use your own username/password, add the camera to Vera manually and provide Vera your username/password to access the camera.<br />

=== '''Manually adding a camera''' ===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Camera1.jpg|thumb|center|512px]] [[Image:Camera2.jpg|thumb|center|512px|Manually adding a camera]] <br />
<br />
In Vera's setup page click Devices, Luup plugins, Install/uninstall plugins, and click 'install' next to either the 'Generic IP Camera' plugin, or, if you see a plugin for your particular camera, such as 'Panasonic IP Camera with Pan/Tilt/Zoom' use that instead. <br />
<br />
If you have more than one camera, you can click "install another" to have multiple instances of the plugin. <br />
<br />
In most cases, IP cameras have a URL method for obtaining a SNAPSHOT or JPG image from the camera. If your camera supports this method, you can then use it with Vera and the FindVera.com service can archive these snapshots over time for security purposes. Most IP/Network cameras made in the past few years will have a JPG Snapshot mode. Some examples from Linksys are WVC54GCA, WVC200/WVC210.&nbsp; D-link, Trend-Net, and many others make similar cameras. <br />
<br />
If your camera is not a 'Plug and Play' model or not on the supported list, you need to specify the settings for the camera by going to the 'Devices' tab on Vera's setup page, adding the camera if it's not already there, and clicking the '+' icon to edit the camera's settings. <br />
<br />
You will need to specify: <br />
<br />
1. the IP address or domain name of the camera<br> 2. the URL or path to retrieve the current image from the camera as a JPEG file<br> 3. any username and password to retrieve the JPEG file <br />
<br />
The URL (your camera's manual may denote this as "path" or "snapshot address") needs to retrieve the actual JPEG file, not just an HTML page that has the JPEG file somewhere on it. For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: '''http://192.168.81.5/Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''', then put in these settings: <br />
<br />
IP Address: '''192.168.81.5'''<br> Path: '''Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''' <br />
<br />
and be sure to provide the username/password if one is needed. After you specify this information, click the red 'Save' button, and then you can see the camera by clicking the 'View Camera' option. <br />
<br />
=== '''Configuring the Panasonic IP camera to connect wirelessly to Vera''' ===<br />
<br />
The Panasonic IP Cameras have a switch on the bottom: WIRED/WIRELESS. In order to connect your camera wirelessly to Vera, you'll need to follow these steps: <br />
<br />
- set the switch to WIRED<br />
- connect your camera to Vera's LAN port using an Ethernet cable<br />
- turn the camera on, confirm Vera's LAN LED turns orange, and wait for the IP Cam LED to turn green<br />
- wait for the camera to be detected in Devices -&gt; Unassigned Device<br />
- assign the camera to a 'Room' and click 'Save'<br />
(for the camera to be detected it should have the default username/password: dceadmin/dcepass and listen on port 80)<br />
- confirm that you can see images from the camera<br />
- click on the "+" sign near your camera and note its IP address (e.g. 192.168.81.200)<br />
<br />
- connect your computer to the same network as your camera<br />
- open your web browser and type in: http://camera1_ip (in this example, http://192.168.81.200)<br />
- login with the default camera username: dceadmin and password: dcepass<br />
- go to Setup -&gt; Wireless and set SSID, Cipher and Password to Vera's wireless settings<br />
which can be found an the bottom of Vera. (default Cipher is WPA2-PSK)<br />
- click 'Save Settings'<br />
- turn the camera's bottom switch to WIRELESS and reboot your camera by cycling its power<br />
<br />
Your camera should now connect wirelessly to Vera. If you change your Vera's wireless settings you'll have first to update them on your cameras, so you won't lose connection to them. <br />
<br />
=== Example of using a Linksys WVC54GCA or WVC210 camera with Vera ===<br />
<br />
For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: http://192.168.81.5/img/snapshot.cgi, then put in these settings: <br>Domain or IP: 192.168.81.5 (or ''YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com'' if remote access is enabled)<br> Path: img/snapshot.cgi<br>A username and password must be used unless all users are allowed in the USERS section.<br> <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*If you have more than one camera, you will be using the PORT as part of the URL. If your second camera is on PORT 1024 and the IP is 192.168.81.6, you would use 192.168.81.6:1024 or YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com:1024<br />

Here is what you need to do:<br> '''A''') if you have a main router in the house and Vera and your computer are connected to it (we presume that Vera has been already configured)<br> 1) connect the vista Cam to the same router;<br> 2) on Vera install the plugin for generic IP cameras from the MiOS Marketplace zone on the dashboard 3) after a minute or so Vera will auto detect the camera and you should be able to see an image when you press the little wrench key from the camera's icon on the dashboard;<br> 4) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br> 5) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br> 6) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save; <br />
<br />
Note: The password should be listed as ''''Shared Key' '''under the 'Security' section. <br> 7) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br> 8) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br> <br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
'''B''') if by any reason you can't see the camera after you connect it to your main router here is what you need to do (we presume that Vera has been already configured and the plugin for the camera has been installed):<br> 1) go to Advanced &gt; Net &amp; WiFi tab and select the '''Through another gateway on my network. MiOS is a switch''' option and then ''Save and apply'' from the bottom of that page;<br> 2) connect your camera to the '''ETH2 port''' on Vera(now Vera should "see" the camera and you should be able to see pictures);<br> 3) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br> 4) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br> 5) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save; <br />
<br />
Note: The password should be listed as ''''Shared Key' '''under the 'Security' section. <br> 6) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br> 7) go to the Dashboard and check if you receive images from the camera.<br></div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Insteon_IntroInsteon Intro2011-08-17T16:56:01Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>

<div>[[Category:Hardware]]<br />
Here's a quick walkthrough of how to get started with Insteon/X10 in Vera. <br />
<br />
1. Connect a SmartLabs 2413U (works only with latest UI4 firmware) '''PowerLinc Modem''' to one of Vera's USB ports. Alternatively, you can use a 2412S (RS-232) version and this Serial to USB adapter: http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Technologies/Product.aspx?ProductID=UC232R10FUTURETECHNOLOGYDEVICES2297802 <br />
<br />
2. Go to Vera's Setup page in your browser and click 'Devices', 'Insteon/X10'. If you see the message: "Insteon interface not found, do you want to enable it?", click the 'Enable it' button, and then click 'Save'. Wait a minute for Vera to enable the Insteon/X10 module and find the PowerLinc. <br />
<br />
3. Go to 'Devices', 'Insteon/X10'. If Vera had a problem finding or setting up your Insteon modem, then you will see an error message at the top of the page under the 'Insteon/X10'. Otherwise you're good to go. <br />
<br />
4. To add Insteon devices, click the 'Add/Remove Insteon device' button. To add X10 devices, choose the device type, house id and room in the 'Add an X10' section, then click 'go'. <br />
<br />
5. When you've added new Insteon devices and Vera doesn't yet know what room they're in, you will see the 'unassigned devices' page, which shows you the new devices and asks you to pick the room the device is in. Do this and click continue. <br />
<br />
6. If Vera was successfully able to talk to your Insteon device, you will see a green cog wheel next to the device as explained in [[Device Control Status]] You can click the '+' button next to a device to see more detailed information on the device, including it's ID. <br />
<br />
Refer to the page [[Insteon Supported Hardware]] for notes on specific Insteon devices and how they work.<br><br><br />
<br />
*'''NOTE''': To control Insteon devices you need a Power Link MODEM (not a controller). For example the 2414U won't work because it's an Insteon controller (not a modem) and uses a different protocol.<br />
<br />
**'''NOTE''': <br />
The Insteon devices use a mix of proprietary RF signals and powerline signal. In most cases Insteon devices run over powerline, and should connect to the Insteon Modem using the electrical wiring. However, if your house has a main breaker and one or more subpanels and Vera is tied to one subpanel and the devices are on another subpanel or on the main power panel, will not receive signals of the Insteon devices. PLM communications do not go across power panels! So you should have your Vera and the Insteon devices on the same circuit breaker panel.</div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Release_NotesRelease Notes2011-06-02T17:10:08Z<p>Silviu.parvana: /* 1.1.1245 - April 20, 2011 - release candidate */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Category:Glossary]]<br />
This documents the changes since the first public beta release of UI4, 1.1.1047<br />
<br />
== 1.1.1245 - April 20, 2011 - release ==<br />
<br />
Most notably this release includes a new version of the Z-Wave firmware in the Z-Wave chip, and this new version allows Vera to optimize the routes the Z-Wave mesh network uses. This should improve reliability. See [[MigrateTo452]] Also Vera will no longer scan for UPnP devices unless you choose 'Add Device' and at the bottom check the option to scan for UPnP devices. <br />
<br />
1. The energy plugin is now built into the engine. It will be removed on upgrade. Energy events are logged to your mios.com account automatically.<br />
<br />
2. There is an option with Vera2 (Currently not working with Vera1) on Advanced, Logs to enable logging to a USB stick. This frees up quite a bit of memory, so if you have a lot of devices or plugins and your Vera is running slow or crashing because it's running out of memory, this is a solution. Note that after you check the box it can take up to 30 minutes to format the USB drive, and bootup will take a couple minutes longer with the USB drive installed. It will continue to boot up fine without the USB drive connected, just don't remove it while Vera is running. '''IMPORTANT: Use a new USB drive that hasn't already been formatted. In particular, don't use a USB drive that is already formatted for Mac.'''<br />
<br />
3. There is a fix to prevent the main engine from starting before Vera has synced the date/time, which previously had caused sunset/sunrise timers to trigger unexpectedly. There is no battery-backed up clock in Vera. It needs to get the date/time from the internet at each boot.<br />
<br />
4. This fixes a bug causing high CPU load and reboot when certain UPnP devices are detected on the network, such as Sonos.<br />
<br />
5. The DSC plugin, and possibly others that use serial ports, did not work because the engine was trying to open the port twice.<br />
<br />
6. Add some extra info in the heal process, and report the health rating and heal date to our tech support server along with ZWave node info, so, when a customer calls in for support, we will know what types of devices he has and how healthy they are to make better recommendations about improving ZWave reliability.<br />
<br />
7. Some startup messages weren't displayed properly in the info panel.<br />
<br />
8. Bad UPnP devices on the network that constantly report themselves every 1 second with a new UUID would eventually consume all the memory causing a crash. Now the software filters these rogue devices.<br />
<br />
8. There's a new lu_sdata request that makes it much simpler to develop third party user interfaces to control the system. See: [[UI_Simple]]<br />
<br />
9. Store a counter of all polls (PollOk) with the number that failed transmission (PollTxFail) or failed to reply (PollNoReply). All counters are reset whenever you do a heal network. The counters are visible as extra variables in the device's advanced tab. This is for troubleshooting ZWave problems.<br />
<br />
10. Add support for viewing live, streaming video. [[Remote_Camera_Streaming]]<br />
<br />
11. Fix that sometimes variables across multiple bridged MiOS systems weren't being synchronized all the time.<br />
<br />

<br />
9. Fix a problem with include/exclude ZWave not working when using the buttons while Vera is disconnected from the network<br />
<br />
10. Strip UPNP XML files of any non-standard characters (like accented characters) since this can cause some upnp scanners, like Device Spy, to ignore them.<br />
<br />
----------- After 996<br />
<br />
11. Occasionally a device that was properly configured could show as incorrectly configured if it failed to config and then was immediately reconfigured and succeeded the 2nd time before the 1st failure had been purged from the log.<br />
<br />
12. Fortrezz Water + Temp sensor now supports both events.<br />
<br />
13. Scenes can be 'active' or 'inactive' based on either 2 settings: 1) all devices in the scene are set, or 2) any device in the scene is on.<br />
<br />
14. Automatically set the LED's in a Leviton scene controller based on #13<br />
<br />
15. Fix a crash while logging DHCP requests<br />
<br />
16. Don't try to configure a node right away if it failed configuration on the last attempt to reduce long latency caused by continuously reconfiguring dead nodes.<br />
<br />
17. Migrate to the new server structure with redundannt servers<br />
<br />
18. Add ability to do ZWave multi-cast.<br />
<br />
19. Fix a bug where it got stuck retrying to download plugins despite a network failure.<br />
<br />
20. Set default root password to the same as the Wifi Password/ HouseID, so telnet is disabled now by default.<br />
<br />
21. Don't set or restore default names that have been set with ZWave node naming get (ie starting with _).<br />
<br />
22. Add ability to specify custom device types and names for products based on the ZWave manufacturer and product ID's and an xml file, including default names and variable settings.<br />
<br />
23. Some ZWave chips seem to have trouble going into 'add node' mode when the commands are sent fast, so added some delays.<br />
<br />
24. Add handling for more alarms from door locks, like when new user codes are added and removed, and low battery alarms.<br />
<br />
25. For slow IP cameras there is now a timeout setting that can be increased to allow more time to return the JPEG. Also, the engine won't block the browser if the camera takes more than 3 seconds to respond. It will continue to retrieve the image in the background return it with the subsequent request.<br />
<br />
== 1.1.319 and 1.0.994 - April 21, 2010 - final UI2 and UI3 ==<br />
<br />
Both versions, 1.1.319 and 1.0.994, have the same back end engine. The difference is 1.0.994 has the older web html & javascript user interface (UI2), and 1.1.319 <br />
<br />
1. [[http://bugs.micasaverde.com/view.php?id=739 Bug 739]]: Fix an intermittent problem with 'handler not found' error when trying to access the smartphone or WAP plugin<br />
<br />
2. Fix an error with pan/tilt buttons on a camera not working<br />
<br />
3. Add support for the Kwikset ZWave lock's built-in scheduling<br />
<br />
4. Improve configuring a Schlage lock. We discovered a 'hidden' configuration setting you can use to get all the user codes states at once rather than polling each code individually as per the official ZWave spec.<br />
<br />
5. Correct the reporting of lock/unlock on the Schlage deadbolt. Previously if a lock or unlock was sent to the deadbolt and the deadbolt reported it was executed OK, Vera assumed the lock was really locked/unlocked. Now we use the alarms from the lock instead so the state is always accurate.<br />
<br />
6. Fix so the include/exclude mode when triggered with the physical buttons stays on indefinitely.<br />
<br />
7. For advanced users, add capability to send door lock NONCE's with ACK by adding the UPNP variable urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveDevice1/NonceACK=1<br />
<br />
8. Unmount the filesystem and kill all processes before flashing the firmware. Also report to a central server when the process starts, and when it reboots after an upgrade so we have a log to accurately measure how often an upgrade fails. We're trying to reduce the number of instances where Vera's firmware gets messed up during an upgrade. This process of upgrading isn't in our code, actually. It's part of the base Linux distro (OpenWRT), and, officially, the only way it should ever happen unless the user pulls the plug while the firwmare is being written, or a brown out. However we have had users experience it even though they insist the power was on steady during the whole firmware write process.<br />
<br />
9. For UI3 the problems with drag and drop are solved, and there's a new list view if you don't like the floorplan view. Several other cosmetic and usability issues have been fixed by the Flash team.<br />
<br />
10. Fix reset_to_factory_default script, it deleted some required files for the user manual. Now deletes only certain files.<br />
<br />
11. Add default free dns servers: OpenDNS.org<br />
<br />
== 1.0.979 - October 24, 2009 - final beta ==<br />
<br />
All known issues of stability and memory leaks have now been resolved. The infrared and INSTEON/X10 modules are also fully functioning. The next couple weeks we will closely monitor the forums and trouble tickets to see if there are any lingering issues and then issue a release candidate.<br />
<br />
'''Fixes:'''<br />
<br />
0. '''IMPORTANT:''' The concept of method #1 and method #2 for programming scenes into scene controllers and handheld remotes no longer exists. The 'Treat Scenes as Events' checkbox is no longer used. Now, to assign a scene, select the scene, click 'Add Event', choose the scene controller or handheld remote, choose the event 'A Scene is Activated', and pick the scene or button ID, such as 3 for button 3 on a scene controller. Any Up/Down or Off buttons now work fine, plus you can add thermostats, door locks, and other non-scene devices to a scene and Vera will still trigger them. So with release 979, it's all automatic and you no longer have to make a decision for method #1 or method #2, and there is no longer a sacrifice with one method over the other. The [[ZWave_Add_Controller]] page has been updated.<br />
<br />
1. There was a file handle leak with files in /tmp that were deleted but not closed. This caused the system to run out of resources and crash after a few days.<br />

<div>If you buy an IP camera from Mi Casa Verde, we will pre-configure it to work with Vera right out of the box. If you get the camera yourself, and it's a model that is 'Plug and Play' compatible with Vera (see 'Supported Cameras' below), then you should be sure the camera is configured to get an IP address automatically, and that the username is set to: '''dceadmin''' and the password is set to: '''dcepass'''. Vera will add the camera automatically and fill in the settings. (Specific info for users of [[Panasonic IP Cameras|Panasonic IP Cameras]])&nbsp; When adding a camera that is not on the supported list, see the section ''''Manually adding a camera'''' below. <br />

| The Panasonic IP cameras work well with Vera. However, for unknown reasons, the Panasonic camera will not get an IP address on your LAN until you run the Windows software supplied with it. You do not need to install the software; just insert the CD and tell the camera to get an IP address automatically (DHCP). If you buy the camera from the Mi Casa Verde web shop we do this before we ship it so the camera will work out of the box. Mac/Linux users who buy the camera elsewhere will need a Windows PC to 'activate' the camera. Set the default username/password on the camera to: dceadmin and dcepass for Vera to detect the camera automatically, or, if you use your own username/password, add the camera to Vera manually and provide Vera your username/password to access the camera.<br />

| An inexpensive IP camera with good image quality. Can be connected wired or wirelessly. Most LevelOne cameras use the same path for the JPEG image, so most of their line (both low and high end) should be compatible.

| This camera can only serve images using DirectX or Java. The workaround is complex: "using a PC you can use MPlayer to strip out a JPG image from the video stream (asf). You can then store the JPG snapshot on a PC, then run a web server and vera can then "fetch" the image from the PC instead of the camera."<br />

| This camera is inexpensive, very feature rich, has very good image quality, and has night vision capabilities. However, there is no publicly accessible URL to grab a live JPG from the camera. The web interface requires an ActiveX plug-in to view the live video feed and there is a snapshot button that will deliver a JPG. Asante is reportedly making changes to their camera in the next version of the firmware that should resolve some of these issues.<br />

<br />
=== '''Manually adding a camera''' ===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Camera1.jpg|thumb|center|512px]] [[Image:Camera2.jpg|thumb|center|512px|Manually adding a camera]] <br />
<br />
In Vera's setup page click Devices, Luup plugins, Install/uninstall plugins, and click 'install' next to either the 'Generic IP Camera' plugin, or, if you see a plugin for your particular camera, such as 'Panasonic IP Camera with Pan/Tilt/Zoom' use that instead. <br />
<br />
If you have more than one camera, you can click "install another" to have multiple instances of the plugin. <br />
<br />
In most cases, IP cameras have a URL method for obtaining a SNAPSHOT or JPG image from the camera. If your camera supports this method, you can then use it with Vera and the FindVera.com service can archive these snapshots over time for security purposes. Most IP/Network cameras made in the past few years will have a JPG Snapshot mode. Some examples from Linksys are WVC54GCA, WVC200/WVC210.&nbsp; D-link, Trend-Net, and many others make similar cameras. <br />
<br />
If your camera is not a 'Plug and Play' model or not on the supported list, you need to specify the settings for the camera by going to the 'Devices' tab on Vera's setup page, adding the camera if it's not already there, and clicking the '+' icon to edit the camera's settings. <br />
<br />
You will need to specify: <br />
<br />
1. the IP address or domain name of the camera<br> 2. the URL or path to retrieve the current image from the camera as a JPEG file<br> 3. any username and password to retrieve the JPEG file <br />
<br />
The URL (your camera's manual may denote this as "path" or "snapshot address") needs to retrieve the actual JPEG file, not just an HTML page that has the JPEG file somewhere on it. For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: '''http://192.168.81.5/Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''', then put in these settings: <br />
<br />
IP Address: '''192.168.81.5'''<br> Path: '''Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''' <br />
<br />
and be sure to provide the username/password if one is needed. After you specify this information, click the red 'Save' button, and then you can see the camera by clicking the 'View Camera' option. <br />
<br />
=== '''Configuring the Panasonic IP camera to connect wirelessly to Vera''' ===<br />
<br />
The Panasonic IP Cameras have a switch on the bottom: WIRED/WIRELESS. In order to connect your camera wirelessly to Vera, you'll need to follow these steps: <br />
<br />
- set the switch to WIRED<br />
- connect your camera to Vera's LAN port using an Ethernet cable<br />
- turn the camera on, confirm Vera's LAN LED turns orange, and wait for the IP Cam LED to turn green<br />
- wait for the camera to be detected in Devices -&gt; Unassigned Device<br />
- assign the camera to a 'Room' and click 'Save'<br />
(for the camera to be detected it should have the default username/password: dceadmin/dcepass and listen on port 80)<br />
- confirm that you can see images from the camera<br />
- click on the "+" sign near your camera and note its IP address (e.g. 192.168.81.200)<br />
<br />
- connect your computer to the same network as your camera<br />
- open your web browser and type in: http://camera1_ip (in this example, http://192.168.81.200)<br />
- login with the default camera username: dceadmin and password: dcepass<br />
- go to Setup -&gt; Wireless and set SSID, Cipher and Password to Vera's wireless settings<br />
which can be found an the bottom of Vera. (default Cipher is WPA2-PSK)<br />
- click 'Save Settings'<br />
- turn the camera's bottom switch to WIRELESS and reboot your camera by cycling its power<br />
<br />
Your camera should now connect wirelessly to Vera. If you change your Vera's wireless settings you'll have first to update them on your cameras, so you won't lose connection to them. <br />
<br />
=== Example of using a Linksys WVC54GCA or WVC210 camera with Vera ===<br />
<br />
For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: http://192.168.81.5/img/snapshot.cgi, then put in these settings: <br>Domain or IP: 192.168.81.5 (or ''YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com'' if remote access is enabled)<br> Path: img/snapshot.cgi<br>A username and password must be used unless all users are allowed in the USERS section.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
*If you have more than one camera, you will be using the PORT as part of the URL. If your second camera is on PORT 1024 and the IP is 192.168.81.6, you would use 192.168.81.6:1024 or YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com:1024<br />

=== iCAMView and some Lorex network cameras ===<br />
<br />
For [http://www.icamview.co.uk iCAMView] based cameras, including a few Lorex-branded ones, the path would be: <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Older models may require slightly different path: <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Other parameters would be the same as above. <br />

== '''VistaCam''' ==<br />
<br />
VistaCam by Mi Casa Verde is a compact Indoor IP camera that supports both wired and wireless installation. Mi Casa Verde Technical Support Team pre-provisions each VistaCam so it works right out of the box with Vera! Set-up doesn’t get any easier. Whether for Home, Business, Facility surveillance, or just for fun, the VistaCam easy to install and has all the features users need at an affordable price!<br><br />
<br />
There are 2 basic ways to setup the VistaCam to work with Vera in wireless mode. Here is what you need to do:<br><br />
'''A''') if you have a main router in the house and Vera and your computer are connected to it (we presume that Vera has been already configured)<br><br />
1) connect the vista Cam to the same router;<br><br />
2) on Vera install the plugin for generic IP cameras from the MiOS Marketplace zone on the dashboard<br />
3) after a minute or so Vera will auto detect the camera and you should be able to see an image when you press the little wrench key from the camera's icon on the dashboard;<br><br />
4) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
5) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
6) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
7) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br><br />
8) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br><br />
----<br />
<br />
'''B''') if by any reason you can't see the camera after you connect it to your main router here is what you need to do (we presume that Vera has been already configured and the plugin for the camera has been installed):<br><br />
1) go to Advanced > Net & WiFi tab and select the '''Through another gateway on my network. MiOS is a switch''' option and then ''Save and apply'' from the bottom of that page;<br> <br />
2) connect your camera to the '''ETH2 port''' on Vera(now Vera should "see" the camera and you should be able to see pictures);<br><br />
3) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
4) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
5) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
6) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br><br />
7) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br></div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Intro_Web_AccessIntro Web Access2011-04-13T20:41:11Z<p>Silviu.parvana: /* UI4 */</p>

<div>{{FAQ header}}<br />
==General==<br />
===Will Vera work internationally?===<br />
Yes. Vera's power adapter runs on all international standards, from 100 to 240 volts. Customers in the UK and Europe receive a power connector for their outlets. Other countries may need to use an adapter. Z-Wave operates on different frequencies in the U.S. and Europe. When you order Vera, the Z-Wave stick is available either in European or U.S. versions. Note that the Z-Wave accessories at our online shop, like lamp modules and light switches, are U.S. only. Vera will work fine with any Z-Wave accessories you buy locally. For more information on Z-Wave outside U.S. and Europe, read [[ZWave_International|Z-Wave International]].<br />
<br />
==Z-Wave==<br />
===Will my Z-Wave light switches, lamp modules, etc. still work if Vera is removed from the system?===<br />
Yes. Vera is only used for control of those devices. They still function like normal switches when Vera is not around. The only exceptions are in-wall scene controllers and remote controls, since they're not actually wired to anything. In that case, if you use method #1 as explained [[ZWave_Add_Controller|here]] they will work without Vera. Method #2, however, ''does'' require Vera.<br />
<br />
===What is Vera's black dongle for? What happens if I lose it?===<br />
The dongle is plugged into one of Vera's USB ports and contains the Z-Wave chip needed to talk to your Z-Wave devices. When the dongle is removed, Vera cannot communicate with any Z-Wave devices, though IP Cameras, wi-fi and other non-Z-Wave functions still work fine. Also, when you pair Vera to Z-Wave devices (that is, 'Add' Z-Wave devices), that pairing information is stored in the dongle. So, if we ever need to replace your dongle, you'll have to [[Reset_Node|reset]] the Z-Wave devices and add them again.<br />
<br />
=== How secure are Z-Wave devices such as door locks? ===<br />
<br />
The security implementation was created by a consortium of companies known as the [http://www.z-wavealliance.org Z-Wave Alliance]. There are many large, security-conscious companies in the alliance who signed off on the Z-Wave security implementation. We have not heard of any security vulnerabilities or exploits. We set up a forum at [http://forum.micasaverde.com forum.micasaverde.com] dedicated to security concerns.<br />
<br />
==Energy==<br />
=== How much money will Vera save me on my energy bill? ===<br />
<br />
See this [[Energy Savings|detailed example]] of how Vera can reduce a typical family's energy bill by 1/3!<br />
<br />
==Networking==<br />
=== How can Vera really be that easy to setup and access remotely? ===<br />
<br />
It is. Really! &nbsp; Just plug Vera in and then, from any web browser in the home, go to [http://findvera.com findvera.com]for Vera 1 units or to [http://micasaverde.com/vera2 micasaverde.com/vera2] for Vera 2 units. <br />
====Vera1 with UI2====<br />
The first time you do this you will see Vera's setup page where she asks you to enter a username and password. &nbsp; To do this your PC or web browser doesn't need to be connected directly to Vera, they just need to share the same home network.&nbsp; Once you've entered your username and password, then you can go to [http://findvera.com findvera.com] from any web browser - anywhere in the world - and put in the same username and password and you'll automatically be connected to your Vera back home.<br />
====Vera2 with UI4====<br />
The first time you do this you will see Vera's setup page, the Wizard. After you setup your unit, from the same network as Vera visit [http://cp.mios.com cp.mios.com] and create an account. Log in and you will be able to take control over your unit and access it from all around the world where there is an Internet connection.<br />
<br />
=== What if I don't have Internet at home? ===<br />
<br />
No problem, having an internet connection is optional.&nbsp; Just connect your PC, Mac or other web browser into one of Vera's network ports, or connect to Vera wirelessly.&nbsp; Vera's built-in wireless comes pre-configured, so if you have a wireless / Wi-Fi device, you'll automatically see the 'Vera' network and can connect to it.&nbsp; You can still set up and use Vera, even without an internet connection.&nbsp; If you don't have an internet connection, though, you won't be able to access Vera remotely from outside the home, and you won't see the helper videos on Vera's setup pages.<br />
<br />
=== So Vera has a built in Wi-Fi access point? Those things are complicated to setup! ===<br />
<br />
Yes, Vera has a built-in access point, but it comes completely pre-configured. &nbsp; There's nothing to setup.&nbsp; Just plug Vera in.&nbsp; Then you will see the 'Vera' network show up on your laptop or other Wi-Fi enabled device.&nbsp; Click the 'Vera' network and you'll be asked for a password.&nbsp; Your unique password is printed on the bottom of Vera and in the 'Getting Started' guide.&nbsp; Each Vera has a different password, so it's secure, and you don't have to worry about your neighbor connecting to your system. &nbsp; Also, Vera's wireless is pre-configured to use the highest-security for wireless networks, WPA2. &nbsp; Of course, if you know networking stuff you can change all that. &nbsp; But if you're a novice, all you do is plug Vera in.<br />
<br />
=== What if I don't want another Wi-Fi access point? What kind of Wi-Fi does Vera use? ===<br />
<br />
You can disable Vera's Wi-Fi on the '[[Networking Setup|Net &amp; Wi-Fi]]' tab.&nbsp; Vera uses 802.11g for wireless.<br />
<br />
=== But web cameras and other network devices always require some setup, right? ===<br />
<br />
At the Mi Casa Verde store, we pre-configure everything for you. &nbsp; So when your new device arrives at your home, you just take it out of the box and plug it in. &nbsp; We do all the work for you.&nbsp; For example, if you bought a web camera from a retail store and want to connect it to Vera's wireless network, you would probably need to configure it with some technical stuff, like the correct SSID and WPA key.&nbsp; But, if you buy the camera from us, we pre-configure it with all the information it needs to connect to your Vera.&nbsp; So you just plug it in!<br />
<br />
=== Are you sure this is really secure? Can some hacker spy on me with my web cam or control my house? ===<br />
<br />
Before Vera, this was a big problem because all the other IP cameras and home control systems don't use a secure network.&nbsp; So even though the web cam or home control box may ask for a user name and password, it's not secure. &nbsp; Unless the web site starts with ''https://'' and you see the padlock symbol in your browser, it's not a secure connection.&nbsp; That means the user name and password are transmitted all over the internet and anyone could intercept it and control your system.&nbsp; Banks and e-commerce companies overcome this by setting up a secure network. &nbsp; But this requires effort and technical expertise. &nbsp; So if you're connecting directly to your home system, it's not secure. <br />
<br />
We solved this by setting up a secure server to act as the "intermediary."&nbsp; So you don't connect directly to your home's Vera system; rather you go through our secure server. &nbsp; This has the added benefit of not only being secure, but being much simpler for you as well since it's fully automatic. &nbsp; The Vera system in your home connects to this server using a secure connection. &nbsp; Then when you want to control your home or view your camera, you also connect to the secure server at [http://FindVera.com FindVera.com] or [http://cp.mios.com cp.mios.com], and the server "patches" you in by connecting you securely to Vera.&nbsp; So, yes, it really ''is'' secure.&nbsp; Your username and password are protected.&nbsp; And nobody, including the Mi Casa Verde staff, can access your system or control your home without the password.</div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/RoomsRooms2011-04-13T20:21:23Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>

<div>[[Category:User Instructions]]<br />
[[Category:Glossary]]<br />
All the devices and scenes in Vera are grouped by room. So you must list the rooms in your house, and then on the 'Devices' page/section, you need to specify which rooms your devices are in. Some devices, like handheld controllers, may be used throughout the house. In this case, just pick the room where the device is most commonly used or kept. The sole purpose of rooms is to help organize your devices and scenes so you can find them easily and and keep track of which is which. So you don't have to take the term "Room" too literally. You could, for example, create a "Room" called "Back yard" or "Outdoors", or even a room called "John's stuff". <br />
<br />
When you create a scene you generally add the scene to a room as well, namely whatever room you are most likely to want to use the scene in. Again, this is just to help organize your scenes and remember which scene is which. Note that what room you add a scene to does not have any effect on which devices it can control. For example, you can create a scene in the "Living Room" that turns on bedroom lights. Create the scene in whatever room you are most likely to want to use that scene. The reason for putting scenes in rooms is just to make it easier to keep track of which scene is which and to quickly find the scenes for the room you are in. For example, on remote controls like iPhone and mobile phones, when you enter a room you need only pick the room once. Then you will see all the scenes in that room without being distracted by all the other scenes in other rooms. This also means you can create multiple scenes with the same name in different rooms. For example, you may have 3 scenes called "go to bed" in 3 different bedrooms. Each scene may do something different. <br />
<br />
There may be a couple scenes that are not really tied to a room, or are used throughout the home or in different rooms. For example, you may have a scene called "Entertaining Mode" which you use when guests arrive. You could put this scene in any room that will allow you to easily find it, remember the purpose of putting scenes in rooms is solely to make it easier for you to find the scenes. In a case like this, "Entertaining Mode" would probably be put in the "Entry Room" or "Living Room" if that's where you usually greet your guests. If you truly want a "global scene", meaning a scene that you would normally use from anywhere in the home, then you will note on the 'Scenes' tab there is a special place called "Global Scenes" to add those scenes. If you add a scene to "Global Scenes", then it's like adding to every room. For example, say you create a global scene called "Energy savings mode" that turns off all the lights in the home. And, say you have an iPhone you use as a remote control. The iPhone will let you pick the room it's in, but no matter what room you pick, you'll see the global scene "Energy savings mode". If the iPhone is showing the Living Room, you'll see the global scene ''plus'' the scenes in the Living Room. The global scenes appear in every room. On the [[Dashboard]] the global scenes appear at the top. <br />
<br />
For more advanced users, if you have a very large house, or if you want to create graphical floorplans to control the devices with icons, you can also create "Sections", and organize the rooms by section. Examples of sections may be: "First Floor" and "Second Floor", or "Main House", "Guest House" and "Grounds". Create sections by clicking the "Advanced" tab and choosing the sub-tab "Sections". You can create a floorplan for each section using your favorite paint or draw program and upload them to Vera on that page. You can also position the devices on the floorplan. Before you do this, go back to the 'Rooms' tab and be sure to indicate which section each room is in. Since most users don't create sections, by default Vera has only one section "My Home" and all rooms are put there.</div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Kwikset_LockKwikset Lock2011-04-13T19:20:56Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>

The Setup Wizard is simple enough for the most basic user with no home automation experience. Step by step it guides you through adding basic devices like light switches, thermostat, door locks, and so on, and creating simple scenes. It can take as little as a few minutes to complete the setup wizard if you only have a few devices to control. <br><br />

The Setup Wizard is how you tell MiOS what devices you want to control, how you want to automate them with scenes, and when you want to be notified of events. The Setup Wizard is simple enough for the most basic user with no home automation experience. Step by step it guides you through adding basic devices like light switches, thermostat, door locks, and so on, and creating simple scenes. It can take as little as a few minutes to complete the setup wizard if you only have a few devices to control. <br><br />

<div>If you buy an IP camera from Mi Casa Verde, we will pre-configure it to work with Vera right out of the box. If you get the camera yourself, and it's a model that is 'Plug and Play' compatible with Vera (see 'Supported Cameras' below), then you should be sure the camera is configured to get an IP address automatically, and that the username is set to: '''dceadmin''' and the password is set to: '''dcepass'''. Vera will add the camera automatically and fill in the settings.

| An inexpensive IP camera with good image quality. Can be connected wired or wirelessly. Most LevelOne cameras use the same path for the JPEG image, so most of their line (both low and high end) should be compatible. Video and audio also stream over RTSP, which can be customized through the camera's web interface.<br />

| It takes about 9(!) seconds to get the jpg file from the camera, but Vera's generic Luup IP camera plugin times out after 5 seconds by default. Starting with Ui4 a timeout option was added to the device settings for the camera, which you can increase to 10.<br />

| This camera can only serve images using DirectX or Java. The workaround is complex: "using a PC you can use MPlayer to strip out a JPG image from the video stream (asf). You can then store the JPG snapshot on a PC, then run a web server and vera can then "fetch" the image from the PC instead of the camera."<br />

| This camera is inexpensive, very feature rich, has very good image quality, and has night vision capabilities. However, there is no publicly accessible URL to grab a live JPG from the camera. The web interface requires an ActiveX plug-in to view the live video feed and there is a snapshot button that will deliver a JPG. Asante is reportedly making changes to their camera in the next version of the firmware that should resolve some of these issues.<br />

<br />
=== '''Manually adding a camera''' ===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Camera1.jpg|thumb|center|512px]] [[Image:Camera2.jpg|thumb|center|512px|Manually adding a camera]] <br />
<br />
In Vera's setup page click Devices, Luup plugins, Install/uninstall plugins, and click 'install' next to either the 'Generic IP Camera' plugin, or, if you see a plugin for your particular camera, such as 'Panasonic IP Camera with Pan/Tilt/Zoom' use that instead. <br />
<br />
If you have more than one camera, you can click "install another" to have multiple instances of the plugin. <br />
<br />
In most cases, IP cameras have a URL method for obtaining a SNAPSHOT or JPG image from the camera. If your camera supports this method, you can then use it with Vera and the FindVera.com service can archive these snapshots over time for security purposes. Most IP/Network cameras made in the past few years will have a JPG Snapshot mode. Some examples from Linksys are WVC54GCA, WVC200/WVC210.&nbsp; D-link, Trend-Net, and many others make similar cameras. <br />
<br />
If your camera is not a 'Plug and Play' model or not on the supported list, you need to specify the settings for the camera by going to the 'Devices' tab on Vera's setup page, adding the camera if it's not already there, and clicking the '+' icon to edit the camera's settings. <br />
<br />
You will need to specify: <br />
<br />
1. the IP address or domain name of the camera<br> 2. the URL or path to retrieve the current image from the camera as a JPEG file<br> 3. any username and password to retrieve the JPEG file <br />
<br />
The URL (your camera's manual may denote this as "path" or "snapshot address") needs to retrieve the actual JPEG file, not just an HTML page that has the JPEG file somewhere on it. For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: '''http://192.168.81.5/Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''', then put in these settings: <br />
<br />
IP Address: '''192.168.81.5'''<br> Path: '''Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''' <br />
<br />
and be sure to provide the username/password if one is needed. After you specify this information, click the red 'Save' button, and then you can see the camera by clicking the 'View Camera' option. <br />
<br />
=== '''Configuring the Panasonic IP camera to connect wirelessly to Vera''' ===<br />
<br />
The Panasonic IP Cameras have a switch on the bottom: WIRED/WIRELESS. In order to connect your camera wirelessly to Vera, you'll need to follow these steps: <br />
<br />
- set the switch to WIRED<br />
- connect your camera to Vera's LAN port using an Ethernet cable<br />
- turn the camera on, confirm Vera's LAN LED turns orange, and wait for the IP Cam LED to turn green<br />
- wait for the camera to be detected in Devices -&gt; Unassigned Device<br />
- assign the camera to a 'Room' and click 'Save'<br />
(for the camera to be detected it should have the default username/password: dceadmin/dcepass and listen on port 80)<br />
- confirm that you can see images from the camera<br />
- click on the "+" sign near your camera and note its IP address (e.g. 192.168.81.200)<br />
<br />
- connect your computer to the same network as your camera<br />
- open your web browser and type in: http://camera1_ip (in this example, http://192.168.81.200)<br />
- login with the default camera username: dceadmin and password: dcepass<br />
- go to Setup -&gt; Wireless and set SSID, Cipher and Password to Vera's wireless settings<br />
which can be found an the bottom of Vera. (default Cipher is WPA2-PSK)<br />
- click 'Save Settings'<br />
- turn the camera's bottom switch to WIRELESS and reboot your camera by cycling its power<br />
<br />
Your camera should now connect wirelessly to Vera. If you change your Vera's wireless settings you'll have first to update them on your cameras, so you won't lose connection to them. <br />
<br />
=== Example of using a Linksys WVC54GCA or WVC210 camera with Vera ===<br />
<br />
For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: http://192.168.81.5/img/snapshot.cgi, then put in these settings: <br>Domain or IP: 192.168.81.5 (or ''YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com'' if remote access is enabled)<br> Path: img/snapshot.cgi<br>A username and password must be used unless all users are allowed in the USERS section.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
*If you have more than one camera, you will be using the PORT as part of the URL. If your second camera is on PORT 1024 and the IP is 192.168.81.6, you would use 192.168.81.6:1024 or YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com:1024<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
=== iCAMView and some Lorex network cameras ===<br />
<br />
For [http://www.icamview.co.uk iCAMView] based cameras, including a few Lorex-branded ones, the path would be: <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Older models may require slightly different path: <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Other parameters would be the same as above. <br />

== '''VistaCam''' ==<br />
*Note: this <br />
VistaCam by Mi Casa Verde is a compact Indoor IP camera that supports both wired and wireless installation. Mi Casa Verde Technical Support Team pre-provisions each VistaCam so it works right out of the box with Vera! Set-up doesn’t get any easier. Whether for Home, Business, Facility surveillance, or just for fun, the VistaCam easy to install and has all the features users need at an affordable price!<br><br />
<br />
There are 2 basic ways to setup the VistaCam to work with Vera in wireless mode. Here is what you need to do:<br><br />
'''A''') if you have a main router in the house and Vera and your computer are connected to it (we presume that Vera has been already configured)<br><br />
1) connect the vista Cam to the same router;<br><br />
2) on Vera install the plugin for generic IP cameras from the MiOS Marketplace zone on the dashboard<br />
3) after a minute or so Vera will auto detect the camera and you should be able to see an image when you press the little wrench key from the camera's icon on the dashboard;<br><br />
4) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
5) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
6) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
7) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br><br />
8) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br><br />
----<br />
<br />
'''B''') if by any reason you can't see the camera after you connect it to your main router here is what you need to do (we presume that Vera has been already configured and the plugin for the camera has been installed):<br><br />
1) go to Advanced > Net & WiFi tab and select the '''Through another gateway on my network. MiOS is a switch''' option and then ''Save and apply'' from the bottom of that page;<br> <br />
2) connect your camera to the '''ETH2 port''' on Vera(now Vera should "see" the camera and you should be able to see pictures);<br><br />
3) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
4) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
5) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
6) remove the Internet cable connection and power cycle the camera;<br><br />
7) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br></div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/IP_CamerasIP Cameras2011-04-12T14:49:02Z<p>Silviu.parvana: /* VistaCam */</p>

| An inexpensive IP camera with good image quality. Can be connected wired or wirelessly. Most LevelOne cameras use the same path for the JPEG image, so most of their line (both low and high end) should be compatible. Video and audio also stream over RTSP, which can be customized through the camera's web interface.<br />

<br />
=== '''Manually adding a camera''' ===<br />
<br />
[[Image:Camera1.jpg|thumb|center|512px]] [[Image:Camera2.jpg|thumb|center|512px|Manually adding a camera]] <br />
<br />
In Vera's setup page click Devices, Luup plugins, Install/uninstall plugins, and click 'install' next to either the 'Generic IP Camera' plugin, or, if you see a plugin for your particular camera, such as 'Panasonic IP Camera with Pan/Tilt/Zoom' use that instead. <br />
<br />
If you have more than one camera, you can click "install another" to have multiple instances of the plugin. <br />
<br />
In most cases, IP cameras have a URL method for obtaining a SNAPSHOT or JPG image from the camera. If your camera supports this method, you can then use it with Vera and the FindVera.com service can archive these snapshots over time for security purposes. Most IP/Network cameras made in the past few years will have a JPG Snapshot mode. Some examples from Linksys are WVC54GCA, WVC200/WVC210.&nbsp; D-link, Trend-Net, and many others make similar cameras. <br />
<br />
If your camera is not a 'Plug and Play' model or not on the supported list, you need to specify the settings for the camera by going to the 'Devices' tab on Vera's setup page, adding the camera if it's not already there, and clicking the '+' icon to edit the camera's settings. <br />
<br />
You will need to specify: <br />
<br />
1. the IP address or domain name of the camera<br> 2. the URL or path to retrieve the current image from the camera as a JPEG file<br> 3. any username and password to retrieve the JPEG file <br />
<br />
The URL (your camera's manual may denote this as "path" or "snapshot address") needs to retrieve the actual JPEG file, not just an HTML page that has the JPEG file somewhere on it. For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: '''http://192.168.81.5/Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''', then put in these settings: <br />
<br />
IP Address: '''192.168.81.5'''<br> Path: '''Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''' <br />
<br />
and be sure to provide the username/password if one is needed. After you specify this information, click the red 'Save' button, and then you can see the camera by clicking the 'View Camera' option. <br />
<br />
=== '''Configuring the Panasonic IP camera to connect wirelessly to Vera''' ===<br />
<br />
The Panasonic IP Cameras have a switch on the bottom: WIRED/WIRELESS. In order to connect your camera wirelessly to Vera, you'll need to follow these steps: <br />
<br />
- set the switch to WIRED<br />
- connect your camera to Vera's LAN port using an Ethernet cable<br />
- turn the camera on, confirm Vera's LAN LED turns orange, and wait for the IP Cam LED to turn green<br />
- wait for the camera to be detected in Devices -&gt; Unassigned Device<br />
- assign the camera to a 'Room' and click 'Save'<br />
(for the camera to be detected it should have the default username/password: dceadmin/dcepass and listen on port 80)<br />
- confirm that you can see images from the camera<br />
- click on the "+" sign near your camera and note its IP address (e.g. 192.168.81.200)<br />
<br />
- connect your computer to the same network as your camera<br />
- open your web browser and type in: http://camera1_ip (in this example, http://192.168.81.200)<br />
- login with the default camera username: dceadmin and password: dcepass<br />
- go to Setup -&gt; Wireless and set SSID, Cipher and Password to Vera's wireless settings<br />
which can be found an the bottom of Vera. (default Cipher is WPA2-PSK)<br />
- click 'Save Settings'<br />
- turn the camera's bottom switch to WIRELESS and reboot your camera by cycling its power<br />
<br />
Your camera should now connect wirelessly to Vera. If you change your Vera's wireless settings you'll have first to update them on your cameras, so you won't lose connection to them. <br />
<br />
=== Example of using a Linksys WVC54GCA or WVC210 camera with Vera ===<br />
<br />
For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: http://192.168.81.5/img/snapshot.cgi, then put in these settings: <br>Domain or IP: 192.168.81.5 (or ''YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com'' if remote access is enabled)<br> Path: img/snapshot.cgi<br>A username and password must be used unless all users are allowed in the USERS section.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
*If you have more than one camera, you will be using the PORT as part of the URL. If your second camera is on PORT 1024 and the IP is 192.168.81.6, you would use 192.168.81.6:1024 or YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com:1024<br />

=== iCAMView and some Lorex network cameras ===<br />

For [http://www.icamview.co.uk iCAMView] based cameras, including a few Lorex-branded ones, the path would be: <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Older models may require slightly different path: <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Other parameters would be the same as above. <br />

== '''VistaCam''' ==<br />
VistaCam by Mi Casa Verde is a compact Indoor IP camera that supports both wired and wireless installation. Mi Casa Verde Technical Support Team pre-provisions each VistaCam so it works right out of the box with Vera! Set-up doesn’t get any easier. Whether for Home, Business, Facility surveillance, or just for fun, the VistaCam easy to install and has all the features users need at an affordable price!<br><br />
<br />
There are 2 basic ways to setup the VistaCam to work with Vera in wireless mode. Here is what you need to do:<br><br />
'''A''') if you have a main router in the house and Vera and your computer are connected to it (we presume that Vera has been already configured)<br><br />
1) connect the vista Cam to the same router;<br><br />
2) on Vera install the plugin for generic IP cameras from the MiOS Marketplace zone on the dashboard<br />
3) after a minute or so Vera will auto detect the camera and you should be able to see an image when you press the little wrench key from the camera's icon on the dashboard;<br><br />
4) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
5) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
6) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
7) power cycle the camera and remove the Internet cable connection;<br><br />
8) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br><br />
----<br />
<br />
'''B''') if by any reason you can't see the camera after you connect it to your main router here is what you need to do (we presume that Vera has been already configured and the plugin for the camera has been installed):<br><br />
1) go to Advanced > Net & WiFi tab and select the '''Through another gateway on my network. MiOS is a switch''' option and then ''Save and apply'' from the bottom of that page;<br> <br />
2) connect your camera to the '''ETH2 port''' on Vera(now Vera should "see" the camera and you should be able to see pictures);<br><br />
3) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
4) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
5) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
6) power cycle the camera and remove the Internet cable connection;<br><br />
7) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br></div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/IP_CamerasIP Cameras2011-04-12T14:48:29Z<p>Silviu.parvana: /* VistaCam */</p>
<hr />
<div>If you buy an IP camera from Mi Casa Verde, we will pre-configure it to work with Vera right out of the box. If you get the camera yourself, and it's a model that is 'Plug and Play' compatible with Vera (see 'Supported Cameras' below), then you should be sure the camera is configured to get an IP address automatically, and that the username is set to: '''dceadmin''' and the password is set to: '''dcepass'''. Vera will add the camera automatically and fill in the settings. (Specific info for users of [[Panasonic IP Cameras|Panasonic IP Cameras]])&nbsp; When adding a camera that is not on the supported list, see the section ''''Manually adding a camera'''' below. <br />

| The Panasonic IP cameras work well with Vera. However, for unknown reasons, the Panasonic camera will not get an IP address on your LAN until you run the Windows software supplied with it. You do not need to install the software; just insert the CD and tell the camera to get an IP address automatically (DHCP). If you buy the camera from the Mi Casa Verde web shop we do this before we ship it so the camera will work out of the box. Mac/Linux users who buy the camera elsewhere will need a Windows PC to 'activate' the camera. Set the default username/password on the camera to: dceadmin and dcepass for Vera to detect the camera automatically, or, if you use your own username/password, add the camera to Vera manually and provide Vera your username/password to access the camera.<br />

If you have more than one camera, you can click "install another" to have multiple instances of the plugin. <br />
<br />
In most cases, IP cameras have a URL method for obtaining a SNAPSHOT or JPG image from the camera. If your camera supports this method, you can then use it with Vera and the FindVera.com service can archive these snapshots over time for security purposes. Most IP/Network cameras made in the past few years will have a JPG Snapshot mode. Some examples from Linksys are WVC54GCA, WVC200/WVC210.&nbsp; D-link, Trend-Net, and many others make similar cameras. <br />
<br />
If your camera is not a 'Plug and Play' model or not on the supported list, you need to specify the settings for the camera by going to the 'Devices' tab on Vera's setup page, adding the camera if it's not already there, and clicking the '+' icon to edit the camera's settings. <br />
<br />
You will need to specify: <br />
<br />
1. the IP address or domain name of the camera<br> 2. the URL or path to retrieve the current image from the camera as a JPEG file<br> 3. any username and password to retrieve the JPEG file <br />
<br />
The URL (your camera's manual may denote this as "path" or "snapshot address") needs to retrieve the actual JPEG file, not just an HTML page that has the JPEG file somewhere on it. For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: '''http://192.168.81.5/Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''', then put in these settings: <br />
<br />
IP Address: '''192.168.81.5'''<br> Path: '''Snapshot.JPG?Quality=Standard''' <br />
<br />
and be sure to provide the username/password if one is needed. After you specify this information, click the red 'Save' button, and then you can see the camera by clicking the 'View Camera' option. <br />
<br />
=== '''Configuring the Panasonic IP camera to connect wirelessly to Vera''' ===<br />
<br />
The Panasonic IP Cameras have a switch on the bottom: WIRED/WIRELESS. In order to connect your camera wirelessly to Vera, you'll need to follow these steps: <br />
<br />
- set the switch to WIRED<br />
- connect your camera to Vera's LAN port using an Ethernet cable<br />
- turn the camera on, confirm Vera's LAN LED turns orange, and wait for the IP Cam LED to turn green<br />
- wait for the camera to be detected in Devices -&gt; Unassigned Device<br />
- assign the camera to a 'Room' and click 'Save'<br />
(for the camera to be detected it should have the default username/password: dceadmin/dcepass and listen on port 80)<br />
- confirm that you can see images from the camera<br />
- click on the "+" sign near your camera and note its IP address (e.g. 192.168.81.200)<br />
<br />
- connect your computer to the same network as your camera<br />
- open your web browser and type in: http://camera1_ip (in this example, http://192.168.81.200)<br />
- login with the default camera username: dceadmin and password: dcepass<br />
- go to Setup -&gt; Wireless and set SSID, Cipher and Password to Vera's wireless settings<br />
which can be found an the bottom of Vera. (default Cipher is WPA2-PSK)<br />
- click 'Save Settings'<br />
- turn the camera's bottom switch to WIRELESS and reboot your camera by cycling its power<br />
<br />
Your camera should now connect wirelessly to Vera. If you change your Vera's wireless settings you'll have first to update them on your cameras, so you won't lose connection to them. <br />
<br />
=== Example of using a Linksys WVC54GCA or WVC210 camera with Vera ===<br />
<br />
For example, if you can view a JPEG file from your camera with this URL: http://192.168.81.5/img/snapshot.cgi, then put in these settings: <br>Domain or IP: 192.168.81.5 (or ''YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com'' if remote access is enabled)<br> Path: img/snapshot.cgi<br>A username and password must be used unless all users are allowed in the USERS section.<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
*If you have more than one camera, you will be using the PORT as part of the URL. If your second camera is on PORT 1024 and the IP is 192.168.81.6, you would use 192.168.81.6:1024 or YourDomain.MyLinksysCam.com:1024<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
=== iCAMView and some Lorex network cameras ===<br />
<br />
For [http://www.icamview.co.uk iCAMView] based cameras, including a few Lorex-branded ones, the path would be: <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>showimg_pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Older models may require slightly different path: <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=1 for the first camera</tt> <br> <tt>pda.cgi?cam=2 for the second camera</tt> <br> <br />
<br />
Other parameters would be the same as above. <br />

== '''VistaCam''' ==<br />
VistaCam by Mi Casa Verde is a compact Indoor IP camera that supports both wired and wireless installation. Mi Casa Verde Technical Support Team pre-provisions each VistaCam so it works right out of the box with Vera! Set-up doesn’t get any easier. Whether for Home, Business, Facility surveillance, or just for fun, the VistaCam easy to install and has all the features users need at an affordable price!<br><br />
<br />
There are 2 basic ways to setup the VistaCam to work with Vera in wireless mode. Here is what you need to do:<br><br />
'''A''') if you have a main router in the house and Vera and your computer are connected to it (we presume that Vera has been already configured)<br><br />
1) connect the vista Cam to the same router;<br><br />
2) on Vera install the plugin for generic IP cameras from the MiOS Marketplace zone on the dashboard<br />
3) after a minute or so Vera will auto detect the camera and you should be able to see an image when you press the little wrench key from the camera's icon on the dashboard;<br><br />
4) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
5) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
6) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
7) power cycle the camera and remove the Internet cable connection;<br><br />
8) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br><br />
----<br />
<br />
'''B''' if by any reason you can't see the camera after you connect it to your main router here is what you need to do (we presume that Vera has been already configured and the plugin for the camera has been installed):<br><br />
1) go to Advanced > Net & WiFi tab and select the '''Through another gateway on my network. MiOS is a switch''' option and then ''Save and apply'' from the bottom of that page;<br> <br />
2) connect your camera to the '''ETH2 port''' on Vera(now Vera should "see" the camera and you should be able to see pictures);<br><br />
3) go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the last option, IP;<br><br />
4) copy that IP address and paste it into your browser's address bar and hit the Enter key (it will open the administration page for the camera);<br><br />
5) on the camera's administration page go to wireless options and set up the SSID and the password (the SSID is usually "Vera_xxxxx" [where xxxxx is Vera's Serial Number]; you can find the Serial number and the password on the back side of Vera[password is WiFi pass or Home ID]) and Save;<br><br />
6) power cycle the camera and remove the Internet cable connection;<br><br />
7) go to the dashboard and check for image from the camera.<br></div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Insteon_IntroInsteon Intro2011-04-07T09:40:53Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>

Here's a quick walkthrough of how to get started with Insteon/X10 in Vera. <br />
<br />
1. Connect a SmartLabs 2413U (works only with latest UI4 firmware) '''PowerLinc Modem''' to one of Vera's USB ports. Alternatively, you can use a 2412S (RS-232) version and this Serial to USB adapter: http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Technologies/Product.aspx?ProductID=UC232R10FUTURETECHNOLOGYDEVICES2297802 <br />
<br />
2. Go to Vera's Setup page in your browser and click 'Devices', 'Insteon/X10'. If you see the message: "Insteon interface not found, do you want to enable it?", click the 'Enable it' button, and then click 'Save'. Wait a minute for Vera to enable the Insteon/X10 module and find the PowerLinc. <br />
<br />
3. Go to 'Devices', 'Insteon/X10'. If Vera had a problem finding or setting up your Insteon modem, then you will see an error message at the top of the page under the 'Insteon/X10'. Otherwise you're good to go. <br />
<br />
4. To add Insteon devices, click the 'Add/Remove Insteon device' button. To add X10 devices, choose the device type, house id and room in the 'Add an X10' section, then click 'go'. <br />
<br />
5. When you've added new Insteon devices and Vera doesn't yet know what room they're in, you will see the 'unassigned devices' page, which shows you the new devices and asks you to pick the room the device is in. Do this and click continue. <br />
<br />
6. If Vera was successfully able to talk to your Insteon device, you will see a green cog wheel next to the device as explained in [[Device Control Status]] You can click the '+' button next to a device to see more detailed information on the device, including it's ID. <br />
<br />
Refer to the page [[Insteon Supported Hardware]] for notes on specific Insteon devices and how they work.<br><br><br />
<br />
*'''NOTE''': To control Insteon devices you need a Power Link MODEM (not a controller). For example the 2414U won't work because it's an Insteon controller (not a modem) and uses a different protocol.</div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Insteon_IntroInsteon Intro2011-04-07T09:40:05Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>

<div>= DSC Alarm Panel - instructions for Vera2 with UI4=<br />
<br />
This Plugin connects a DSC Alarm Panel with MiOS system, via an IT-100 interface board or compatible interface. <br />
<br />
== how it works ==<br />
<br />
To make it easy to handle different panel features, the plugin defines three different devices on the MiOS system: <br />
<br />
'''main device'''[[Image(main panel1.png, align=right)|[[Image:DSC_Main_panel.png|right]]]]<br />
<br />
This represents the panel itself. The main tab contains: <br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*A display with any message shown by the panel's LCD screen. <br />
*A text entry box to set the access code used by the plugin to access the panel. <br />
*A button to synchronize the panel's clock with Vera's.<br />
<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
There are four 'global' alarms on the panel: <br />
<br />
*Fire Key <br />
*Auxiliary Key <br />
*Panic Key <br />
*Auxiliary Input<br />
<br />
Each of these can generate an event when triggered or cleared. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''partition subdevices[[Image:DSC_Partition_panel.png|right]]'''<br />
<br />
On the main tab the device shows the partition status ('Ready', 'In Alarm', 'Disarmed', etc), and has five buttons to send commands to the partition: 'Away', 'Stay', 'Armed no Entry Delay', 'Arm with Code', 'Disarm'. <br />
<br />
Events are generated on status changes. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''zones or sensors''' <br />
<br />
Each zone is represented as a sensor device. Currently you can select which appears as 'Smoke sensors' and which as 'Motion sensors'. There's no functional difference between them, but a UI can list them apart, or show different icons. <br />
<br />
Events are generated on status changes. <br />
<br />
== Setup ==<br />
Before starting working on Vera the DSC Alarm device should already be configured with Partitions, Zones and Sensors.<br />
<br />
1) On the dashboard go to the MiOS Marketplace section and in the upper right corner of this section you will find a green plus ( '''+''' ) sign. Press this button and it will open the Marketplace window (On newer firmware versions, above 1.1.1186 it will open a new tab on your browser and you will have to log in with the cp.mios.com credentials to install plugins). Search for the DSC Alarm Panel plugin and install it. You will see the plugin installed in the MiOS Marketplace section. Also in the Devices sections you will find a new device created. Press the little wrench key in the upper right corner of the newly created device and access the control window.<br> <br />
You should rename this device so you can identify it easily in the future. <br> <br />
2) If the IT-100 interface is connected to Vera with an USB-Serial adapter, there should appear a serial port device. You have to associate the serial port with the main panel device. Go to the '''Settings''' tab and under ''Send using:'' option select the port used to communicate with the IT-100 interface.<br> <br />
3) On the '''DSC Alarm Panel''' tab, under the ''Access Code'' option type your access code (4 to 6 digits)<br> <br />
4) Close the pop up window and press the ''Save'' button<br> <br />
5) Go back to the '''DSC Alarm Panel''' tab and above the ''Access Code'' option you should see the time. (this is a confirmation for you to know that Vera is communicating with the DSC)<br> <br />
6) Partitions and zones are configured on the panel itself. Note the number of each one (partitions are numbered 1-8, zones are 1-64) and open the main panel device. Go to the '''Advanced''' tab, and set three variables, all with the service ID "urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:AlarmPanel1": <br> <br />
<br />
''''ActivePartitions' ''': A comma-separated list of the partition numbers configured on the panel. <br />
<br />
''''MotionSensors' ''': A comma-separated list of the zone numbers that represent motion sensors. <br />
<br />
''''SmokeSensors' ''': A comma-separated list of the zone numbers that represent smoke sensors. <br />
<br />
After setting these variables, close the dialog and hit the 'Save' icon. Luup will restart and the plugin will create one subdevice for each parition and zone.<br />
<br><br><br />

<div>[[Category:User Instructions]]<br />
=Vera 1 with UI2=<br />
There are several types of Z-Wave sensors, like motion sensors, door/window sensors, light, temperature and so on.<br />
<br />
== Manual associations ==<br />
<br />
The traditional way of using these devices is to get a Z-Wave programming remote control and create 'associations', where you program a sensor to associate with a device. For example, programming a motion sensor to turn on a light when switched. Vera can simplify this process by setting up these associations for you without needing a programming remote control. Click the '+' button next to a Z-Wave device and choose 'Custom Z-Wave Settings' to have Vera create the associations. Save your changes, click the '+' button again and choose 'Configure node right now'. Confirm you get the green 'configure ok' cog icon as explained [[Device Control Status|here]].<br />
<br />
== Automation associations ==<br />
<br />
Vera offers an easy approach to associating sensors with devices: After adding the Z-Wave sensor, go back to the 'Devices' page, click '+' and check the box "Let Vera manage the associations". Save your changes, click the '+' button again and choose "Configure node right now". Confirm you get the green 'configure ok' cog icon as explained [[Device Control Status|here]]. Now, rather than you needing to create associations, you can just create scenes and attach the sensor as an event to the scene.<br />
<br />
== Example: A sensor turns on a light ==<br />
<br />
For example, if you want a motion sensor to turn on a light, you can manually set up an association by adding the sensor and light to Vera's network, clicking the '+' button next to the sensor on Vera's device page, choosing 'Custom Z-Wave Settings', and adding the group+association to the light. You will need to read the user's manual for the sensor to know what group id to use. <br />
<br />
To do the same thing with automatic associations, instead check "Let Vera manage the associations". Then create a scene called "Light on" which turns the light on. Click 'Add Event' next to the scene, and add the event 'Sensor is tripped', and choose the sensor. If you want to the light to go off after 1 minute, you could choose the pull down 'after 1 minute' 'off' next to the command for the light. If you want the light to go off when the motion sensor goes idle, create another scene called 'Light off' and again attach the event 'sensor is tripped', but this time check the box 'sensor is idle'.<br />
<br />
== Example: A sensor turns on a light and a thermostat ==<br />
<br />
Let's say when someone passes by a sensor you not only want the light to come on, but also want the thermostat to turn on. This is not normally possible using traditional, manual Z-Wave associations. A sensor can normally only turn on/off a basic on/off Z-Wave device, like a light switch. But if you use Vera's automatic associations, the sensor can do anything. In this case, the sensor is triggering a scene in Vera, and Vera's scenes can do anything with any type of device.<br />
<br />
=Vera 2 with UI4=<br />
<br />
To add a sensor to Vera 2 with UI4 you have to follow the same instructions like you would use for other devices like lights for example.<br> Sometimes when you add a sensor you get a error message on the dashboard like 'Failing at getting name' or 'Fail at setting special associations', etc. This is because devices like sensors (which are battery powered) enter into a 'sleeping' mode and Vera can't communicate with them anymore. To prevent this is recommended that you press the include/wake/action button on the sensor a couple of times in the pairing process.</div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Adding_SensorsAdding Sensors2011-04-04T15:30:43Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>

Click 'Add Event' next to the scene, and add the event 'Sensor is tripped', and choose the sensor. If you want to the light to go off after 1 minute, you could choose the pull down 'after 1 minute' 'off' next to the command for the light. If you want the light to go off when the motion sensor goes idle, create another scene called 'Light off' and again attach the event 'sensor is tripped', but this time check the box 'sensor is idle'.<br />
<br />
== Example: A sensor turns on a light and a thermostat ==<br />
<br />
Let's say when someone passes by a sensor you not only want the light to come on, but also want the thermostat to turn on. This is not normally possible using traditional, manual Z-Wave associations. A sensor can normally only turn on/off a basic on/off Z-Wave device, like a light switch. But if you use Vera's automatic associations, the sensor can do anything. In this case, the sensor is triggering a scene in Vera, and Vera's scenes can do anything with any type of device.</div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Main_PageMain Page2011-04-04T15:18:34Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>

An event is how you tell Vera to run a scene in response to something happening. For more on scenes, see [[Scenes]]. <br />
<br />
To add an event on '''Vera1''' with '''UI2''', click the [[Scenes|'Scenes']] tab, add a new scene, and click 'Add Event' to define what should trigger the scene. <br><br />
To add an event on '''Vera2''' with '''UI4''', click on the 'Add scene' button from the dashboard, go to the '''Timers tab''' and click the ''Add event'' button.<br />
<br />
Then choose the type of event. The most common options are: a sensor is tripped, and an armed sensor is tripped, a light is turned on/off, etc. For sensor tripped events, you will be asked to choose which sensor(s) should trigger the event. <br />
<br />
You can then check off which users should be notified when the event occurs. These are the people you created on the [[Users|users]] tab, and Vera will use the contact information (SMS text message and/or Email) you provided on that tab (on cp.mios.com for Vera 2 with UI4). <br />
<br />
After you specify the options for the event, you can tell Vera what you want her to do when that event occurs, in exactly the same way you do when creating a [[Scenes|scene]]. As explained in the [[Scenes|scene]] instructions, you can tell Vera to do something with a device and then after a period of time, do something else, such as: "Turn on the garage light and 30 seconds later turn it off again." <br />

A timer is how you tell Vera to do certain things by running scenes either at fixed intervals, like every 15 minutes, or at certain times, like Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:30, or on December 20 at 11:00. For more on scenes, see [[Scenes]]. <br />
<br />
To add a timer on '''Vera1''' with '''UI2''', click the [[Scenes|'Scenes']] tab, add a new scene, and click 'Add Timer' to define when the scene should be triggered. <br><br />
To add a timer on '''Vera2''' with '''UI4''', click on the '''Add scene''' button from the dashboard, go to the '''Timers''' tab and click the ''Add timer'' button.<br />
<br />
Next choose the type of timer. Your choices are: <br />
<br />
'''Interval based''': For example, do something every x minutes, or every other hour. The minimum interval is 1 minute. There is no maximum. Specify the interval in hours or minutes. <br />
<br />
'''Day of week based''': For example, do something at 7:00 and 9:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You can check off what day(s) of the week you want this occur, and tell Vera what time(s) of day. You can specify multiple times, separated by commas. For example, check off Monday and Wednesday and put in 7:00, 9:00, 21:00 to do this at those three times on Monday and Wednesday. You can specify the time in either 12-hour or 24-hour format, so you could also put in: 7:00am, 9:00am, 9:00pm. <br />
<br />
'''Day of month based''': For example, do something at 8:00 on the 1st and 15th of each month. As explained above in "Day of week based", you can enter multiple times, in 12- or 24-hour format. <br />
<br />
'''Absolute''': For example, do something on 5 Mar 2005 at 11:15. Use this timer to do something one time, at a certain time. <br />
<br />
After you specify the options for the timer, you can tell Vera what you want her to do at those times, in exactly the same way you do when creating a [[Scenes|scene]]. As explained in the [[Scenes|scene]] instructions, you can tell Vera to do something with a device and then after a period of time, do something else, such as: turn on the garage light and 30 seconds later turn it off again.</div>Silviu.parvanahttp://wiki.mios.com/index.php/Set_Up_TimersSet Up Timers2011-04-04T15:04:44Z<p>Silviu.parvana: </p>
