View source for Test Sequence

A test system is available to the public to prod around with Vera.  The test system consists of Vera, a thermostat, a motion detector, a dimmable light connected to a lamp, an on/off switch connected to a fan which blows foil in front of the motion detector to trip it, and a wireless Panasonic IP camera.  It can be accessed directly (like you would on the home LAN) at testvera.micasaverde.com, or on findvera.com with the username: testvera, password: myvera123.
