Desktop Shortcut

HOWTO setup a desktop shortcut to activate a scene or control a device.

1. Get wget for Windows.

2. Create a shortcut to it on the Desktop.

3. Right click on the shortcut and open the Shortcut tab.

4. In the Target field append the following:

-q -O NUL "http://<vera_IP>:3480/data_request?id=lu_action
&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=<scene_number>"

Here's an example:

"D:\Programs\wget.exe" -q -O NUL "http://192.168.10.1:3480/data_request?id=lu_action &serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=6"

To control a device:

http://<vera_IP>:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=<device_number> &serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1&action=SetTarget&newTargetValue=<1 to turn on, 0 to turn off>

In Linux or OSX you can use curl -0 instead of wget.exe
