 Vera will be able to transfer scenes you create in the web interface to handheld controllers so you don't need to create them on the controller itself.
 '''January, 2009'''
-The beta period was extended longer than expected.  Further, to provide better tech support during the beta period, rather than having the tech support handled by a call center, as originally planned, our developers have been dealing with tech support issues directly, which halted development during the beta period.  With the release of the Schlage lock and the Z-Wave security layer, we also redirected efforts to implementing a security and encryption layer in Vera.

It will allow Vera to control a variety devices without any actual programming.

-We are pushing to have a beta version of the media extension for Vera.  This is a NAS device that you attach to the network, with 2TB and 4TB of capacity.  It handles media cataloging, streaming, ripping, and works with low-cost DMA's for playback.  The DMA's use the same Sigma 8634 video playback chip found in nearly all Blu-Ray drives, so the video quality is superb, far better than that from a PC.  Vera provides the central control, so you have an on-screen GUI as a front-end to Vera.  Vera puts the NAS and DMA's in standby when they're not being used to conserve energy.  Ripping on this device is very simple; just insert a disc and it's automatically id'd, catalog'd, ripped and ejected.  The light blinks if there was an error ripping, and Vera's interface show the archive of the ripping log, as well as a front end for maintaining the media database.

		+	Flex Your Energy is an initiative in California where homeowners can receive alerts when the power grid is overloaded so they can reduce their energy usage to relieve the grid and prevent a brown-out. Vera will listen to these alerts and the homeowner can indicate to execute a Scene when the alert occurs and another when it passes, or to let Vera take pre-defined action, such as reducing dimmable lights by 30% and shutting off any thermostats.
