Users

New page

Providing a list of the users, or family members, who will use the system is optional. The two reasons to do so are:

1. You want to be notified of events at home, such as security breaches, sensors being tripped, and so on. Add each user who you want to be notified, and for each user specify how he should be notified: by SMS text message, email, or a voice call. Then when on the Events tab you can specify for each event which users should be notified. Vera will use the contact info you provide here on the Users tab.

2. The other reason to supply users is if you want to require a username and password to login when you are at home, from a web browser on your home network. Without specifying any users, anybody on the home network can control or configure Vera. You can add users and check the box "Require a username and password to login to the home network" to require this. Note that these usernames and passwords are unrelated to the one you use for FindVera.com. The FindVera.com is for accessing the system remotely. If you want to access Vera remotely without using the FindVera.com service you can do this by setting up a port forward in your home network. In this case you should always check that box to prevent unauthorized access from the internet.
