HOWTO install LUUP plugins on your Vera.
Contents |
[edit] Prerequisites
- Vera 1 or 2 hardware.
- Luup/Lua capable firmware version (all recent firmwares are).
- Locally available plugin files (downloaded in advance).
- A Web Browser, other than Internet Exporer (IE), to upload the files.
[edit] Introduction
Luup coded plugins can be used for a variety of tasks, like creating scenes, virtual devices and even tweaking your Vera to your own likes. These plugins can be referred to as "beta plugins" or "user-created plugins".
Code is mainly discussed (and sometimes available from) here: [1]
Officially supported plugins are available here [2]
This manual starts with the assumption you have downloaded the appropriate .json and .xml files to your harddisk.
[edit] Exclusion
These instructions should not be used in combination with plugins that are available through the MiOS Marketplace. Plugins from the Marketplace have a "click and install" functionality.
[edit] Instructions
- Open your Vera UI4.
- Upload the files of the plugin you downloaded to your Vera box: 'MiOS Developers' -> 'Luup files' -> 'Upload files'. Do not check 'Restart Luup after upload' (bottom of the page); if it's checked, uncheck it.
- Go to 'Create device' and create a new Luup device with UpnpDevFilename D_<your_plugin>.xml.
- Set the Description to whatever you want to name the device.
- Restart the Lua engine to initialize the UPnP variables (curving arrows top right in your UI).
- Reload the webpage. Best use <CTRL + F5> to do so.
- Make the appropriate Luup variable settings as per directions for the creator of the plugin.
IMPORTANT: In some cases a power cycle/reboot of your Vera is necessary.
