The first time you access Vera you will see Vera's 'Setup' page, as explained in the Quick Start Guide. Once Vera is setup, you will instead see the Dashboard. The Dashboard is a simple control panel that shows you all the rooms in your home, and all the scenes and devices in those rooms.
Click the 'Go' button next to a scene to execute that scene. Or click one of the control buttons next to a device to control that device.
For an explanation of the icons, see: device control and status.
You can also click the 'setup' button to go back to the 'Setup' page.

The Setup Wizard is how you tell MiOS what devices you want to control, how you want to automate them with scenes, and when you want to be notified of events. The Setup Wizard is simple enough for the most basic user with no home automation experience. Step by step it guides you through adding basic devices like light switches, thermostat, door locks, and so on, and creating simple scenes. It can take as little as a few minutes to complete the setup wizard if you only have a few devices to control.
Once you have completed the setup wizard you do not need to use the wizard again unless you want to make changes. Your day to day operation of MiOS is done using the dashboard. All the basic controls for your devices is on this one page, as well as the system status. The icons in your toolbar, and the 'setup' icon next to each device let's you dive into more advanced setup. The MiOS market is where you add plugins, or apps, to do all sorts of things, like control alarm panels and monitor the weather.
There are help icons ? scattered throughout. These are context sensitive so they will always take you to the relevant part of the User's manual.
