My MiCasaVerde setup experience.
I already have my network setup with a firewall and wireless router. I read the instructions and it specified that the device will auto detect your network and adjust it's settings. It did this just fine but it didn't turn on the wireless. I couldn't access the device using the instructions in the package which is why I'm writing this setup synopsis.
How I accessed my device: I ran an IP scan and recorded all the live IPs. I then connected the device and ran it again and saw which was the new IP.
I put that IP into the browser and was able to access and configure the device. After doing this I thought that it might be easier to have created a MAC address/IP reservation on my router for the device. Even plugging directly into the device didn't help, findvera.com was not able to locate the device even though I was getting a good IP and internet access.
Are there firewall rules that need to be put into place first or does the device need to be the DNS server?
Anyone else have issues setting up the device initially?
Also, is the findvera.com service up and running yet? On the findvera tab all I get is instructions and this in red at the bottom:
FindVera remote server not assigned.
This is a bit dis-heartening to me. I am awaiting the arrival of my Vera, but I also have a network already set up with a static internet IP and static local IPs for most of my devices.
I tried to play with the test-vera a little today as well, but the response time is excruciatingly slow, and I was never able to get the camera(s?) to display any live images, though I did find some archived pictures. Is this response time going to be what can be expected, I mean it was the middle of the night so I don't imagine it was due to unexpectedly high server loads.
I am very excited to get my Vera and get it up and running, and will report on the entire process.
