<p>How to use Vera2 with an external Z-wave USB dongle</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:How To]]<br /> <br /> '''HOWTO use a Z-wave dongle with your Vera 2 hardware'''<br /> <br /> ==Prerequisites==<br /> * Vera 2 hardware<br /> * A compatible Z-wave USB dongle<br /> <br /> ==Introduction==<br /> Here's a short manual on how to us a dongle with Vera 2. Vera 2 has an internal z-wave chip. However an external dongle can still be used.<br /> <br /> The dongle is plugged into one of Vera's USB ports and contains a Z-Wave chip that communicates to your Z-Wave devices. 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 you ever need to replace your dongle, you'll have to reset the Z-Wave devices and add them again or use the internal chip of your Vera to do this again.<br /> <br /> ==Instructions==<br /> 1. From the dashboard go to Z-Wave, Options and look for port. /dev/tts/1 (this is the address for the internal chip)<br /> <br /> To switch to USB Z-Wave you will need to change that address to (0 being the bottom usb slot and 1 being the top).<br /> <br /> /dev/usb/tts/0 <br /> <br /> or <br /> <br /> /dev/usb/tts/1<br /> <br /> 2. Edit the address to whatever USB slot you are using, and don't forget the first forward slash!<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> please find more info in the forum here:<br /> <br /> http://forum.mios.com/index.php?topic=4761<br /> http://forum.mios.com/index.php?topic=7030</div>
