Vera Home Automation Controller / Re: Home/Away modes?

I just need to read them (which I know see is possible). This would allow some AND statements to only fire actions when home mode = X.

Vera Home Automation Controller / MultiSwitch
« on: March 04, 2015, 08:55:41 PM »
Hello,
Could you consider adding support for the MultiSwitch plugin (as 8 separate switches in one)
Actions
When you select one of the MultiSwitch buttons as a scene or PLEG action, the default action will be a toggle of the switch state - on to off, off to on. If you open the scene or PLEG action Advanced tab, you will see that the newStatusN value is -1 which means toggle. To set the switch off, use a value of 0. To set the switch on, use a value of 1.
The following actions are provided for use by scenes and other plugins:
Most other apps that support MultiSwich show it as 8 individual On/Off switches in their interface.
Thanks so much if you could make this happen! I'd gladly ship you a new Vera Edge (with UI7) for your trouble.

Is there any plan to support this as a Vera Hose Modes (Home/Night/Away/Vacation)?
I just bought a VeraEdge with UI7 to test with and without this information...VC is not understanding the current state and my logic falls flat.
Thanks for listening!

Other Plugins / Re: Hook - Plugin to generate events from keyboard input
« on: August 24, 2014, 03:54:26 AM »
So I tried the hook plugin and so far so good.
Just can't figure a way to toggle Hook on from the WMC keypad. Disabling it is easy via an event.
Any ideas how to enable (and toggle disable) hook from the WMC remote?

I need to capture Keyboard commands and NOT pass them to WMC/App.
Can I do this without installing EventGhost?
Scenario, I want to use numeric keys to control Vera scenes using VoxCommando...but don't want the number input to go to WMC
Thanks!

Version 2 updates / Activating V2 License from V1 Key
« on: March 30, 2014, 02:40:07 AM »
I bought V1 while V2 was being developed on 2/22/14.
Vaguely, I recall a free upgrade offer, but my current key doesn't seem to work.
What is the upgrade guidance?
Thanks!

#3 While the Vera is always on controller, most in the past have been not (i.e. handheld battery powered)...maybe that is why the sequence exists.

1. IMHO, low volume (and the complexity, support, and returns). HA just isn't mainstream yet. Would be interesting to what he says about this.
2. My Leviton wall switches support instant status updates. Look for the feature "Supports Instant Status".

3. It is odd that temp is pulled (aka polled) rather than pushed instantly (like motion tripped/untriped). My guess is it's battery life. To listen for the controller to poll you vs transmitting until the controller responds probably saves some juice.
Interesting note, the 'Poll this node at most once every' setting are irrelevant if the device is sleeping, it's skipped when it's turn. It's the 'wakeup interval' that updates the temp/humidity/light, not the poll setting. All my battery operated devices 'wakeup' at 1800 and 'poll' at 60 (which means the Vera tries often to see if the device is listening). Inside motion sensors that are hardwired have a 'wakeup' of 60 seconds for more frequent temp updates (to bypass Z-Wave air vents).

This would be cool, but an unlimited vocabulary I think is beyond the microphones and speech recognition accuracy.
Maybe a Wolfram Alpha...highly filtered to a specific questions...might be possible. Just my two cents. I'm an amateur.
