Vera Home Automation Controller / Re: Help connecting VoxCommando to my VeraEdge.

« on: January 10, 2016, 02:14:26 PM »

Guys,

I wanted to report that I have made some progress on this problem connecting to the Vera and I think it may benefit others if I report my findings that may experience a similar issue connecting.

For whatever reason port 3480 is not the correct port in my situation port 49451 works for me. I'm not exactly sure if VERA changed the communications ports in newer firmware versions or if I may have changed the port in my settings at some point (Not sure if it’s even possible). I'm leaning more towards changes on the Vera firmware.

I hope this will help anyone who may have an issue connecting in the future.

Thanks JitterJames for the warm welcome. When I click on the link you provided it did not load up the page and produced the following error message "This page cant be displayed" I have actually tried to use Vera commands like the one you indicated to troubleshoot other issues with my vera and have never had any luck with those types of web commands although I have used 192.168.1.4/devlist.txt successfully in the past . Is the latest version blocking web url access? I have tried to also installed VoxCommando on a virtual windows machine as a test and I'm getting the same results. leads me to believe Vera is not allowing communication from VoxCommando. I have my vera setup with a static IP address and the machine with VC installed is currently set to DHCP with an IP address of 192.168.1.250 both the vera and the VC machine are pointing to my correct gateway IP:192.168.1.1.

I have also ensured that the "Secure Vera" option is unchecked for the time being in my vera settings to allow internal network traffic in without first authenticating to the vera servers.

Vera Home Automation Controller / Help connecting VoxCommando to my VeraEdge.

I'm trying VoxCommando for the first time and if all works well I would like to implement the software in my home for use with my current VERA home automation system.

I need help getting this to work and I have taken the following steps:

 I installed VoxCommando and selected vera plugin configuration during the installation during setup I verified that I have 4.5.2 .Net also I verified that my  firewall is disabled on both the VERA and the computer with VOXCommando installed.  I followed all the setup instructions on the wiki page. It doesn't appear that I'm successfully connecting to my vera, I don't have a successful test connection producing the following error message: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on receive. Also when I try and generate payload files by clicking on create maps  it generates an error " Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately and Error reading JObject from jsonReader. Path ", line 0. position 0. Clicking on Continue nothing happens. clicking on GENXML on the main menu appears to do nothing. I am on Trial mode until I can figure out what the problem connecting to the vera.

Hardware:
Vox commando 2.2.1.4
VeraEdge running the latest firmware version UI7 1.7.1598 (Note: I am entering the unit ip address and port manually 192.168.1.4:3480 as indicated in the setup instructions. The computer hosting VOX Commando is windows 7.
 
Thank you for the help upfront!
